One day there was a boy named Gabriel. He was a normal boy who was like the other kids, but he was stronger, faster, and more flexible. So one day, he saw some boys trying to do the longest handstand. But there was a kid named Angel who had the longest time: 10 minutes. So they asked Gabriel to try, but he noticed that some kids were cheating and he fell on the ground embarrassed. So when Gabriel got home he was furious and explained it to his parents. So Gabriel kept on trying and trying whenever he got home from school. He'd do pull ups to get stronger so he'll be ready for the next time. The next day he saw Angel break his high score it was 20 minutes. Luckily, Gabriel was prepared and started but then he noticed kids were throwing things and kept on dodging every one of them. Then people were shocked to see Gabriel make the world record for 2 hours and was respected.

Once upon a time in peacefull skylands were the Skylanders, the protectors of evil. The skylanders that were created first were the giants and swapforce. They were protectors of the volcano that gave life to all Skylands. Then came the dark lord.
It was chaos. The evil portal master that brought darkness to Skylands. Then chaos teamed with evil Arkeyan robots that were fought by the giants. So then came a battle between good versus evil. The battle was fierce and destroyed most islands. But the Skylanders were strong and blasted most of the Arkeyans. But then slowly the sky got darker. It was chaos firing his evil ray gun. So then Skylanders thought of destroying the gun. So they did and skylands was saved. I went to a circus. It was called "Comedy Circus." It was a descent size circus tent. I sat in my seat to watch the funny show. First, they started off with throwing pies at everyone. I ate the pie off my face and I thought to myself, "Mmm, this is yummy." An orange clown came out, waved hello, and said, "Did everyone enjoy the pie?" I laughed a little. Then, a tortoise comes out and walks onto the pavement and in a flash of an eye, it disappeared, then reappeared in a cage. Then, the tortoise said, "I thought the State of Liberty meant freedom for everyone? This is not fair." Everyone laughed.
There was a weird looking thing. The object was moving or controlling a moving machine. I got on top o the machine with my friend. The machine was moving on and on. I wonder why is it so bumpy? When is it going to stop? So I lay there. A few hours later, I got up because its getting hot. My friend is not there anymore. Nothing there but a net. When I turn around there was an object with legs. The object was holding a net and tried to get me. I jump out "ouch," I roared. The strange object got me and took me to the laboratory. They took a quick look at my body. A few months later my friend and I went to somewhere I can see my kind. They also treat us as kings!
One day I was on my porch when suddenly I heard a crack in my yard. I went outside and saw a beautiful blue bird building a nest the size of a coconut. Then, later on the bird had an egg. The next day the egg was hatching. It was a dark blue color. After the egg hatched the mom went to find food. Then, something terrible happened, the baby bird fell! I carefully grabbed him and put him back in his nest before the mom came. Then, the mom came and gave her baby bird some worms for food.
