Gone Before by Kiley!
Four days ago Goldilocks went into the woods. She found a little house. She knocked on the door. There was no an-‐swer. She went in and she went to a
bookshelf. Then the three bears came back. The dad was the meanest of all. The mom was nice and the baby was really nice. When the dad went upstairs and saw Goldilocks, he got so mad that he almost exploded. So he called Mama Bear and Baby Bear. Dad’s scream woke up Goldilocks. She sprang from the bed and ran away and never came back.

How To Make Your Very Own Magic Wand The first lesson of Magic is to learn to trust yourself, your spirit, your ideas and your hidden talents. If your intention is to make a real Magic Wand, and you try your best, the Wand you make will be truly Magical and Powerful.
To make a Magic Wand, begin by find-ing a branch whose shape and size attracts your attention. Look on the ground for a fall-en branch whose shape pleases you. Peel the bark off, or you can leave some of the bark on if you like. You can use permanent magic markers or watercolors to “stain” your wand with subtle color. If you use either of these, you will want to spray varnish on your wand, so the colors won’t run later.
What you do next is only limited by your imagination. You can cut small “pits” into your wand and glue beads or stones in them. You can wrap copper wire or leather around your wand. To glue leather and beads you can use hot glue, epoxy, or Elmer’s glue. You might like to add color with embroidery thread, ribbon, cord, or sewing trims.
Dedicating your Wand to make it a Magical Tool is easy, and can be done in many ways. One way is to hold your Wand out, saying:
“By the power of the Elements I dedicate this Magic Wand to heal the Earth, to Channel my Power, to Harm None and Find Truth.”
Or:
“By the Power of All this is Good, All that is True, My Wand honors and amplifies the Magic in me and the Magic in you.”
When you have finished, stand and draw a circle around you with your Wand, saying,
“I consecrate this circle as a Magical space between worlds.”
Point your Wand to the north, south, east, and west, greeting the elements and the powers of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Adapted from: realmagicwands.com

Advice Column !!Dear Mother Goose My stepsisters are very annoying. They think I should do everything for them. How can I change the way things run around here?
Cinderella
Dear Cinderella Call your fairy godmother as soon as you can. Ask her to turn you into a mouse. Then fol-low the mice out of the house. Run to the nearest pond. Kiss the first frog you see and something wonderful will happen!
--------------- Dear Mother Goose, A witch has captured my brother and me. When we were walking in the woods we be-came lost and hungry. Then we saw her house and it was made of candy! But now she won’t let us go home to our family. What shall we do?
Hansel and Gretel !Dear Hansel and Gretel, I highly recommend you get out of there quickly. As soon as she falls asleep, grab her broom and run out the door. Run as fast as you can, but stay together. If she wakes up and follows you, remember she is old and she cannot run as fast as you can. Also, she will not have her broom so she can’t catch up! Good Luck!
--------------- Dear Mother Goose, I just do not understand why everyone is chasing me! So I might be cute and sweet, and yummy to eat, but we all deserve a free life. I want to make my own decisions and pursue a career in teaching drama classes at The Episcopal Academy to elementary kids. Please tell me quickly! How can I escape these people and animals that are chasing me?
Gingerbread Man !Dear Gingerbread Man, First, run down to Fairytale Village. Find the beauty parlor and get a makeover. Demand different icing to change the way you smell – that way the animals will lose your scent. Ask anyone for directions to that school you want to work at. Once you make it there, I’m sure the children will protect you!
