The doctor was singing in the school.* “Why was the doctor singing in school,” Beth asked Maureen. “I have no idea,” replied Maureen. when we asked the doctor, only a small smile came to her face. I guess we’ll never know why.

*That’s the line that came from The Story Starter, Jr.

Miss Colins was our substitute teacher. She told us that our regular teacher was going to be absent for a few weeks. Some of the kids didn’t want a different teacher and they gave Miss Colins a really bad time. In the lunch room someone even threw food at her. She was very upset. She went into the kitchen for a few minutes. The teacher was crying in the kitchen.* We all felt really bad for the rest of the day.

It turned out that Miss Colins was really nice. We were sorry to see her go.

Where did the doctor go? Everyone was waiting for him. Mary looked in the living room. No doctor. Jake looked in the basement. There was no doctor there either. Winnie decided to look in the kitchen. Bingo! The doctor was writing a poem in the kitchen.* He was sitting quietly with Terry, who loved to read and write poetry.

He picked on everyone. Nobody liked him. He was the class bully. Finally, they had enough. They decided to get him…but good.

John whispered something into Ed’s ear. Of course, the bully wanted to know what he said. John told the bully that there was a treasure map in the haunted house. The bully looked puzzled. Ed told him that the ghost hunters were going to the house tomorrow to search.

Just then, you could see the bully got the idea. He would go to the house to find the map. He waited until dark.

John and Ed hid outside the house and could see the bully’s shadow as he wondered through the house. The bully was searching for a treasure map in the haunted house. And then he found it!

John and Ed could tell when they heard a loud scream. They knew why. The map, in large letters said, “The next person who finds this map will have 10 years bad luck unless he or she is very nice to people.”

The bully came into school the next day and wasn’t the same. No one, except John and Ed, ever knew why.

[Note: The sentence in red is the one that The Story Starter, Jr. provided.]

It was getting very annoying. We were in the elevator for at least an hour waiting for it to start again. Everyone kept staring at the boy. The boy was skipping in the elevator*.

When we finally got out of the elevator, the boy stopped skipping. He started running…to the bathroom. Boy, did he have to go!
