Age 6:
I had a friend I really liked
but one day we got in a fight.
I did not like my friend at all,
Then we made up and broke the law.

Age 9:
Cry
Do not cry,
do not cry in pain,
Someday you will die in happiness,
and not of shame.
Do not be sad,
for you are only a lad.
Just think of heaven,
for you are only seven.
For God is love,
and heaven is happiness,
and it all comes together
forever.
Courage
Courage is strong and sometimes weak,
But courage is always what you seek.
Even on high heights you have to have courage,
and then, maybe, a bowl of porridge.
Friendship
Friendship is special and so are you
As we grow and grow
Our friendship will always be there I know.

Age 9:
Pollution
Pollution, Pollution, wherever you are,
You're a pain to the world produced by a car.
If only you'd die or go to the moon,
Whatever you do, please do it soon!
You kill all the birds with your nasty black smoke,
You cover cities like a big black cloak.
Pollution, Pollution, please go away,
But before you do it, hear what I say:
You're a rotton old cloud with lots of dust.
You make clothes soil and metal rust.
You fall on cities just like fog.
But it's even worse - it's called SMOG!

In Turkey their once lived a King and Queen, one day the King died . It was a shock beyond all shocks before, all of the civilians emotions were down. But a few day's later the queen got married again, to her BROTHER-IN-LAW! This is the story ... In the middle of the night two figures appeared from the top of the castle, one of them was Hogatio , a friend of Prince Spamlet . The other was a guard. "It has come again" Hogatio said with a weary look about him. "I don't believe it, we must get the opportunity to show Prince Spamlet!" the guard responded. " Yes we must, it could actually be the dead king's spirit, and it has bad news" said Hogatio... The new king was a sturdy ,broad-featured man , and he constantly smiled. The Queen was lovely, gentle, and loaded with diamonds, The king turned to Spamlet who was dressed in charcoal black attire. "How is my nephew and son" The king asked " I'm less related to you than a dead dragon" Spamlet murmured.The queen begged him to lose the dark attire and the bad mood. After a couple of minutes they left. Spamlet was alone, he was horrified at the royal couple, He hated the corrupted world in which he was imprisoned. He hated life itself , he was also full of hatred and disgust for the Queen his mother. Who soon after the kings death married the dead king's wretched brother. " And so fast too! Of all the dreadful marriages!" Spamlet cried out. But someone was coming! It was Hogatio, He approached Spamlet, " I'm here to see your father's funeral" he said "More like my mothers WEDDING !" Spamlet yelled. "Fast, it was very fast, The leftovers from the funeral were used at the wedding!" "I've got to tell you something Spamlet." Hogatio then explained all about his encounter with the King. Spamlet opposed the idea at first but the idea of contacting his father made him do it. " How do you know he had bad news?" Spamlet asked. "He was dressed head to toe with bronze armor" Hogatio replied. "Then how do you know it was him?" Spamlet questioned. "His eye protector was up I could see his face." Hogatio answered. My fathers spirit, dressed in arms? This can't be good...
Lardertes, the chamberlain's son, was going to France he was dressed in the latest styles, and came to bid his sister, Beefelia good-bye. Beefilia was young and fair , she was also very modest, too modest. She donated her soul to everybody for herself, always doing things for others nothing for herself. Lardertes noticed that Beefelia was in love with Spamlet, Lardertes warned her about passion , and a young mans unsteady love. Just then Beefelia's (and Lardertes) father came ,his name was Baloneious, Baloneious was a wise, sneaky, old man. He wanted to Know everything if walls had ears they were probably his.
It was around twelve and Spamlet came with Hogatio and his pal to the top of the castle. After a few hours they saw the dead King's spirit walk around "Father!" Spamlet yelled. "come with meeeeeee" The dead King replied, He signaled for only Spamlet to come. "Sir, you don't know what this ghost will do to you, you can't go!" the guard protested. Spamlet pulled out his sword, "don't come any closer or you will be dead!" he said. So when Spamlet met up with his father, the Dead king said, "I was murdered my son. While I was sleeping in the royal archive my brother, the king poured poison into my earrr you must take revenge on himmmmmm, remember this, do not harm your mother AT ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!" the spirit then disappeared. " I swear, my uncle will be killed if it takes my WHOLE LIFE! HE WON'T GETAWAY WITH BLOODY MURDER, I SWEAR IT, I WILL HAVE REVENGGGGGGGGGE! I must tell Hogatio! " Murder! I doubt he's right, we've got to find a way to prove he's right. I know there is a play company coming here soon Meanwhile Spamlet decided to act crazy so if he did something weird nobody would notice.... When the play company arrived Spamlet greeted them kindly. He said he made up a play by himself and he wanted them to do it. So they agreed and did it. The day had arrived and everyone was gathered there to see the play. Spamlet was watching the King closely, The scene shows the king sleeping on the floor, when a murderer pours poison into the victims ear! At that the real king jumped up in amazement and ended the play. Spamlet had proof that he murdered his father! One day he was walking down a hall and he found his uncle kneeling down in prayer. Spamlet was about to kill him when he thought ` wait, he's praying now so if I kill him, he'll go to heaven! And I don't want that!' So Spamlet walked away. he then heard his mother call for him. So he headed toward his mothers room, but Baloneious saw him and went into the room and hid behind a tapestry. Spamlet walked in, "What do you want mother? Spamlet said harshly " Watch your mouth" she demanded. Spamlet grew savage started speaking violently he even gripped his sword! "HELP" screamed the queen " Help, where!" said Boloneious forgetting where he was. " A rat! A dirty little rat!" Said Spamlet, and he thrust his sword into the tapestry. He pulled down the curtain and there was Boloneious, dead. "remember" a voice came from the window, it was the dead king! "Remember do not harm my wife do not, do nooooooot" "Wait!" cried Spamlet "So he is crazy!" said the queen for she did not see the spirit. Then Spamlet left. Because of her fathers death Beefilia went crazy and committed suicide. Then Lardetes who sought revenge challenged Spamlet to a fencing contest, Lardetes plan was to sharpen the sword and tip it with a poisonous residue from a plant. If that didn't work the king would poison Spamlet's wine with the same stuff. During the fight, Spamlet was winning so the king tried to poison the drink, but the queen got thirsty and took a sip of the wine. Also while they were fighting Lardertes scratched Spamlet with his sword, suddenly the poison of the drink got to the queens heart and she called out, "Spamlet the drink it's poison!" then she fell to the ground dead. In Spamlet's fury he took Lardetes's sword and thrust it into Lardetes heart, his last word were, "The king did this...." he was dead. So only Spamlet and the king were left. Spamlet rushed to the king with the poison sword and struck him but he wouldn't die, so he thrust the poison drink down the kings throat and he died. Now Spamlet stood up with his last bit of strength and told Hogatio that the next in line, Fortinbras, would be king. Then he died.
