I Wish

Dear Everybody,

I wish a new tree was planted everyday.
I wish everybody had enough money to buy food, water, clothes and a house.
I wish cars that run on things that did not polute the air.
I wish people would not smoke.

Love,
Isabel

One Little Snowman

Once upon a time, there was a snowman.
Her mom told her you have to go out to seek your fourtune.
