I was in the jungle.While I was there, I heard an earsplitting roar.When I looked right, I saw nothing.But when I looked left, I was staring at a humunguos lion.He heard something and turned around.It pounced on a rabbit and walked away with its lifeless carcass sitting in his mouth.I never saw the beast again.

One day, it was snowing.The air was cold and muggy.Trees were covered with snow and icycles.Leafless trees blew in the breeze coming out of the Northwest.Sounds of birds were calming.melted snow fell gracefully on the ground.The very first sign of spring was a little green leaf on the soon-to-not-be-leafless tree.That is a wonderful sight to see having been under all that snow for the entire season of winter.

A shark swam. It swam low and silently under the water, like an underwater spy. At the same moment an unexpecting swimmer went into the gulf, but didn’t know what was to come to him later on. The deadly sea animal had heard him get into the greenish-blue water, so it swam lower and more silently. As the man began to swim toward the sand bar, the carnivious fish was waiting for him twenty feet away. Moving at the speed of light the enormous fish had swallowed him whole! After that moment everyboby got out of the water and stayed out for a hour. Why you ask? Because a huge sea fish might be out there waiting for his desert.

I am going to fail again.No no no nooooh.When I said again it was because last week i failed in the same subject last week too,math. Although studying isn’t hard I still didn’t like to do it so i didn’t and now I can’t remember anything about the test.If I fail my dad will ground me.That means three entire months without outside,computer,videogames,or phone.Well,atleast i sit next to three major nerds so i guess i will copy of their papers and then finally I might actually ace a test.Oh no I was caught,on the last guestion,Bob screams,”the student cheated.”After going through all this trouble and fear I still flunked the test along with a week of detention.

The man laughed extemly hard and made an earsplitting noise.He laughed so hard coke came out of his eyes and nose.You could see he was not melancholy.Eventhough no one told a joke and no one slipped on a banana peel he still broke his laugh box.He was laughing at a Youtube video.That is why Santa Clause laughed so hard.

It was a blizzardy cold night. My bedroom window pounced open, it was so cold that I had to shut with a BANG. I saw that it had began to snow. The snow fell viciously as I walked to take out the trash. There I stood in the middle of my driveway frozen still scouling at the rode of glitering crystal.
