Walking home with my best friend Hayden late at night, we spotted a weird ladybug. I am absolutely TERRIFIED of ladybugs but Hayden LOVES them. He made me follow it with him. I was not happy but I didn’t want to stand in the the dark alone while he was off with his little ladybug buddy. We followed it for a while and I got really tired.

“Hayden why are we even doing thi-”
“SHHHHH!!!”  he interrupted.
DID HE JUST SHHH ME?! I thought to myself. I was infuriated! He was going to make me late for dinner and with no doubt being grounded! All because he wants to chase a stupid LADYBUG!! I sat down on a rock..but he got far away. I got up and caught up to him. I saw the ladybug and I let out a quiet shriek.
I looked over to see how far he went with the polka dotted monster and he was not moving. He was just looking at a plank of wood on the ground.   “What are you looking at?” I asked.
“I’m not sure, but by the looks of it, it could be a…a well!”

I went over to look. I looked through a hole in the plank of wood. He pushed the wood to the side and we both looked down in amazement. I stood up and a huge gust of wind hit me on the back of my neck. Not thinking too much about it, I ignored it. Then I felt a cold bony hand on my shoulder. “Stop playing Hayden! You know I’m easily scared!” I look over but he’s no where to be seen. Then I look at my shoulder. I see the bony hand, pitch black and purple from what looked like frost bite. I scream and the grip becomes tighter. It relaxes, and lets go of me. I open my eyes and I’m falling…down..the WELL! I scream, then hear a SPLSHH-

Once upon a time there was a girl named Abbie and her best friend John. They had been best friends since they were six years old and they are now eleven. Every day they would go to in the woods and work on their tree fort. They would spend hours in the woods every day, right after school.

One day they met a girl at school named Julia. Abbie and John seemed a little scared because they heard that Julia was a big bully. Julia said, “All I want is some new friends. I wont hurt you.” So Julia, Abbie and John started being really good friends and they started to hang out all the time.

Abbie and John realized that it was time to show Julia their tree fort. Julia was amazed how cool it was and really wanted to participate in working on it. One day they were walking to the tree fort and Julia fell into a huge hole in the ground and all you could here was screaming. Abbie and John sat there crying. They knew that they would have to make sure that no one could find out.

Soon they came sprinting inside to tell Jake’s mom that Julia had disappeared. They called 911 immediately. The police researched the woods to track any footsteps or anything to find out where Julia went. It took them weeks to find out until they found THE HOLE!!!!

The day I found a hole in my basement was not the best day. I woke up, got breakfast and then I heard a clunk. That clunk was my dog hitting the house again. I had to take the dog on a walk so he would stop banging the house. I told my dog Whiskers, “It’s time to come in boy.” Whiskers jumped up and ran into the house. He ran into the basement and fell in the hole .

The hole had never been there as far as I knew, but in that hole was over 10,000 dollars in cash. After I stuffed 100 in my pocket I fainted.

When I woke the police were all around my friend’s house. His Dad stepped out in hand cuffs. I wondered what was going on so I went to his house that afternoon and asked what was up. Billy said that his dad was arrested for stealing food to give to other people on the street. He said,“I think that he should not have been arrested and he should just have to pay for the food.”

That night I thought about all the money I found and I came to a decision that I would donate all the money I found to the poor. The next morning I asked my mom to help me find a homeless shelter so I could make a donation. My mother asked why we had to donate, as we were already poor enough without giving all are money away. I quickly explained about all the money I found yesterday. My mom said it was okay and we left to find a shelter.
