Who Am I?
I had finally gotten used to being weightless. It became a comfortable feeling. I especially liked floating by the window to see the planet Earth below.
An astronaut
As I walked in the door, I was amazed at the beautiful colors and smells. I knew it would be hard to decide what I would buy with me $3. The chocolate truffles looked delicious, but they were expensive. The jelly beans were not only cheaper, but so colorful! With so much to choose from, I knew I would be here a long time.
Candy store
So many people talk on them wherever they go. They use them in supermarkets, in their cars, at the bank, and even in restrooms. It makes you wonder what people did before they were invented.
Cell phone
My father did not like to wear his crown. He said it was heavy and made his head hurt. While I did not have a crown, my parents made sure I had a silk dress with gold thread to wear for the coronation.
A princess
The water felt so good on such a hot day. I heard the other children laughing and yelling across the way. The concrete was wet from a group of teenagers splashing each other in the corner. The lifeguard watched closely to keep children from running.
Beach
It's a good thing Ariel had some more in the tent. It would be awful to be out in the woods at night with a flashlight that didn't work.
Batteries
The crowd began to roar as I made a few practice swings with the bat. The umpire called to me sharply to hurry. I was not in any hurry to face the most famous pitcher in history.
A baseball player
I was allowed to push the cart. The front left wheel was broken, so the cart wobbled down each aisle. Mother put various packages and boxes in the cart, but I didn't notice. I was trying to keep the cart going straight as it got heavier and heavier.
Grocery store
William practiced every day for weeks, especially the black keys, until finally he could play the music with both hands.
Piano
I often work in the early morning when the light is best. The canvas has had time to dry over night. When I start, I make sure all of my brushes are clean.
An artist
As we entered, a large blast of water hit the windshield. Huge flopping sponges began to slap at the hood as we slowly moved forward. Soon, there were suds spilling over the sides. I was glad the windows were rolled up!
Car wash
The whistling let Julie know that the water was boiling. Now she could make some tea.
Teapot / Kettle
I liked walking next to the covered wagon more than riding in it with my sisters. If I got tired, sometimes my father would let me ride horseback behind him. In the evening, Pa, my brothers and I would sleep under the wagon, while Ma and my sisters slept in the wagon. I hoped we would reach the West soon.
It felt wonderful to be outside, even if only for a little while! All the swings were already taken, and a group was playing softball on the diamond. Casey and I decided to use the monkey bars until the teacher called us.
Playground
John corrected the mistakes and then brushed away the bits of rubber on the paper.
