Fifteen Minutes of Pie

By Nikki Aksamit
The Everson family- Mr. and Mrs. Everson,

their sons Ethan and Jason, and daughters
Hannah and Emily- were gathered around their
dining room table finishing up Sunday dinner.
“What’s for dessert, Mom?” Ethan asked as he
helped his mother clear away the last of the
plates.
“Your dad baked an apple pie.” Mrs.
Everson answered.
“Yummy!” exclaimed Ethan’s sister Emily from her high chair at the end of the table,
clapping her hands.
“Well, I would like fifteen minutes of pie please.” Ethan said with a big grin as he sat back
down at the table.
“Fifteen minutes of pie, what does that mean?” Asked his brother Jason, who was a
couple of years younger than Ethan. He was very confused.
“Mr. Lavel is teaching us about time in school.” Ethan replied. He was in second grade
and they were just starting to learn how to tell the time on a clock. “He told us that the clock
can be divided into four fifteen minute sections, like the pieces
of a pie. Fifteen times four is sixty and there are sixty minutes in
an hour.”
“Very good son!” Mr. Everson said smiling.
“So then may I have fifteen minutes of pie please?” Ethan
asked again as his mother placed the dessert on the table.
Hands on her hips, Mrs. Everson looked at her son. “How
about you have ten minutes of pie and save some for the rest
of us!” she answered.

Chicken and the Mighty Storm

by Anita N. Amin
Chicken raced to the barnyard, excited for
the picnic. Suddenly she slid to a stop. Gray
storm clouds were filling the sky. Anxiously,
Chicken turned back toward the barn.
Just then Pig passed by. “Aren’t you going
to the picnic?” he squealed. “All that delicious
pig-nic food... I can’t wait to pig out!” He licked his chops.
Chicken cocked her head. Couldn’t Pig see a mighty storm was brewing? “What if it
rains?” Chicken asked. “I’ll get soaked, maybe even sick! I can’t fly with the flu.”
Pig looked up at the sky. “It’s not that bad. Besides, you can’t fly.”
“I fly a little,” Chicken said. “Just not in bad weather. We should go inside.”
Pig grunted. “Suit yourself. But I’m going to the picnic.” He left.
Wind ruffled Chicken’s feathers. Dirt whirled around the yard. The storm was close!
Chicken hurried to the barn. She reached it as her friends were leaving.
Horse neighed. “Whoa, Chicken! Wrong way. The picnic is over there.” He pointed
his nose toward the picnic area.
Chicken shook her head. Couldn’t Horse hear the wind howling? “It’s too windy,”
Chicken said. “What if I blow away? Then where will I be? Maybe the moon, that’s where.”
Cow mooed. “Don’t be a coward, dearie.”
“I’m not a coward.” Chicken clucked. “A mighty storm is coming. What if something

happens? The rain might wash us all the way to the ocean! We should stay inside.”
Cow and Horse snorted. “Suit yourself. But we’re going to the picnic.” They left.
Chicken strutted to her coop. She hoped her friends weren’t in danger. But at least
she felt safe. No rain, no wind, no worries in here.
Chicken settled down. Soon she heard her friends frolicking outside.
“The races are about to begin!” someone announced.
“What if I miss all of the fun?” Chicken whispered.
Suddenly, the ground shook.
The barn rattled.
Thunder rumbled.
Large raindrops poured down from the gray clouds above.
Chicken flapped her wings in fear. The mighty storm was
here! She hoped her friends would hurry back. She didn’t want to be alone.
Lightning zapped. Thunder crashed. Shouts and shrieks filled the air.
Chicken gulped. Were her friends in trouble, stuck in the storm? What should she do?
She didn’t know. But she couldn’t hide if they needed help. So she crept to the doorway
and peeped outside.
Her friends were stampeding back to the barn! It was pouring! Lightning flashed.
As they dashed inside, her friends groaned. “You were right! We are soaked!” They
dripped puddles onto the barn floor.
Chicken raised her wings. “I don’t want to crow, but never argue with a chicken
about the weather. Why else do you think there’s a rooster on the weather vane?” Then
she strutted back to her dry, cozy coop and smiled, glad that her friends were safe.
Sometimes it paid to be chicken.

Rosie's Bedtime Story

by Anita Amin
Rosie loved bedtime.
Her dad always told her stories. Sometimes, he
told fairy tales. Sometimes, he told animal stories. And
sometimes, he told sports stories.
Rosie couldn’t wait to hear Dad’s next story.
But that night, Mom tucked Rosie into bed instead. “Dad is sick,” Mom told Rosie.
“But I can tell you a story if you want me to.” So Mom told Rosie a story.
But to Rosie, it wasn’t the same. She felt sad. She didn’t want Dad to be sick, and
she missed story time with Dad.
She thought maybe Dad missed story time, too. This gave her an idea.
Rosie hopped out of bed. She went to Dad’s room. She knocked on his door.
“Come in,” Dad said.
When Rosie opened the door, Dad smiled weakly. “I’m sorry. I’m going to miss
story time tonight.”
Rosie sat on Dad’s bed. “No you won’t. I’m going to tell you a story.”
So Rosie told Dad a story about a castle, a dragon, and a princess.
Dad loved the story and he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
“Get well quickly, Dad,” Rosie whispered.

Aunt Lee's Chickens

Take a Bath by Susan Manzke
Some people have cats as pets. Others have dogs.

Aunt Lee is not like those people. Her two pets are
chickens. Both are girl birds, or hens. One is named Lulu
and the other is Molly.
Earlier today, Aunt Lee called Cindy to watch her

chickens take a bath.
“Are they in your bathtub?” asked Cindy.
“No, my chickens do not use my bathtub.” Aunt Lee laughed. “They are
outside chickens.”
“Do you take soap and water and scrub them under their wings and wash
between their toes?” asked Cindy.
“I let them take their own baths,” said Aunt Lee. “Come and watch.”
Cindy went to see Lulu and Molly taking their baths. When she walked into
Aunt Lee’s backyard, the two hens were flapping on the ground. Dirt flew into
the air around them.
“Those chickens are sure dirty,” said Cindy. “When will they start taking
their baths?”
“That’s what they are doing,” said Aunt Lee. “Lulu and Molly are taking
dust baths. It cleans tiny bugs off their feathers and it makes them feel good.
Want to join them?”
Cindy smiled. “No, but I’ll watch.”

Playing With Paper

by Anita Amin
One sunny Sunday morning, Alex and Emma were tossing

a ball in the park. Their dad was sitting on a bench, reading a
newspaper.
After a while, Emma stopped. She walked over to Alex.

"It's too hot,” she told him. “I wish I had my sun hat.”
Alex agreed. “I wish I had mine, too.”
Emma saw Dad folding his newspaper. “I have an idea,” she said.
Emma asked Dad for two pages. She folded each page a few times. Then she put one
on Alex’s head. She put the other one on her head.
Alex smiled. “This paper hat is perfect!”
They sat down next to Dad and watched everyone in the park. Some people were
picnicking. Some were playing. And some were walking their pets.
After a while, the sky filled with clouds. It became windy. Some people started flying kites.
“I wish I had a kite,” Emma said, watching a butterfly kite flap in the wind.
“Or a plane,” Alex said, pointing to a toy plane buzzing around.
“I have an idea.” Emma took off her hat. She folded it another way.
“A paper airplane!” Alex folded his hat into a plane, too.
They threw their planes into the air. Emma’s plane flew past Alex’s plane.
Emma grinned. “I won.”
They flew their planes until they heard thunder.
“Let’s go,” Dad said. “Otherwise, we’ll need a boat to get out of
here.”
“Hmm,” Emma said. “I have an idea.” Emma folded both planes

another way.
Then they left, after Emma had put two paper boats on the bench.

The Holiday Surprise

by Anita N. Amin
One morning, Sammy got a phone call from his friend Raj.
“Come over for Holi,” Raj said. “It’s a holiday from India.
Make sure you wear old clothes.”
“Old clothes? Why?” Sammy asked. Sammy knew nothing
about Holi.
“It’s a surprise,” Raj said. “See you soon.” They hung up.
Sammy put on some old clothes. Then, he walked over to Raj’s house.
Inside on a table, there were four big jugs of colored water. There was blue water,
green, red, and yellow.
Raj handed Sammy two jugs. Raj picked up the other two.
“Are we going to paint eggs like we do for Easter?” Sammy looked around. He didn’t
see any eggs.
“No, not eggs.” Raj walked outside.
Sammy followed. “Will we paint our shirts? Is that why we had to wear old clothes?”
“Not quite,” Raj said.
They stopped at the park. People were throwing colored water at each other. Red,
orange, yellow water – every color of the rainbow splashed across the air.
“Surprise!” Raj said. “We’re going to paint each other!”
Sammy laughed. “Now, I have a surprise for you.” He splashed Raj with the blue water.
“Got you first!”
