.... we live in. Looking up at the evening sky and observing a broad expanse of thick clusters of stars, without artificial light, breathing in cold, fresh, and pure air, absent contaminated, and seeing no signs of humanity only solemn nature is as a moving and uplifting experience. Too often today’s civilization becomes obsessed and entrenched in modernization and technology that it forgets and neglects its roots. We departed from the electric lights, indoor plumming, and computer-controlled heated environment of our homes and began to retreat to the wild. The previous weeks continual snow storms worried us, but we were determine .....

.... back to her foraging and before long she had pulled from the bag a small black box. Engraved with the letters P, O, and another letter that I could make out were on the cover of the box. The final detail that I noticed about the box was that there was a small socket on one side. After setting the box down on the desk she took out more items from the bag, a gas mask and a box of matches. The mask and the box snapped together and she placed the mask over the face, then lit a match, opened the box, and lit whatever was in there. Seconds later smoke filled the mask and excess smoke permeated from the mask. We watched intently after a .....

.... umbilical cord, the hunter has bonded with his prey, forever, bonded by the life and death chase. The fuse of life burns shorter, bringing the hunter closer, close, and then the final intimacy of the kill! Does the dumb beast know its fate? Can he guess its fate? Can he sense his fate shadowing him, silently, stealthily? He pondered his ideas and saw some tracks. HALF A DAY BEHIND "I wonder what his flesh will taste like. Will it be tough? Will it bee..... AAAAACK!" Solomon gripped his hand on an icy branch. A snow capped tree had covered the pit layed before him, a trap by the animal which he was follo .....

.... reason I think we moved long ago to Wyoming, the land of wide-open spaces. "You can drive more than a hundred miles on a Wyoming highway without seeing another car," Daddy would often brag. That was not the case, however, in Colorado. The cars were lined up one after another, traveling 75 miles per hour, to the horizon and beyond. We passengers paid scant attention to the outside world as we were involved in a thought-provoking discussion regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the highly educational hit movie of the summer, Independence Day. The movie answered the question: Are we alone in the Universe? with a loud no wh .....

.... burst forth in a conquering fury, and none in their path could withstand them. The Kaidites brought with them their strange customs and gods. The supreme Tamian god, Niord, god of light and fury, was replaced with the warlike Helk. Ahrimal the forked-tongue had a temple right against the wall of the Palace itself. Tamian gods, save for Niord, were tolerated, so long as their worshippers did not cause any trouble. The Niordites continued to worship their god underground, however, even under severe persecution, for all knew that if their lost high god found his power, the Kaidites would be driven out. The conflict was a hun .....

.... out a new way of tutoring, which became more efficient later. I went through every problem with him, step by step, and corrected the errors he made. I read the textbook before teaching him so that I was well prepared to tutor him. He started to ask questions, and I answered and explained how to do those problems with him. On the last day of tutoring, my brother handed me a delicate gift, a wonderful angel doll, and thanked me for spending my summer vacation teaching him. From this tutoring job, I learned to be more patient, the value of preparation, to work with people, and to enjoy what I do. I tried my best to put myself i .....

.... seats in each group, so there were about 24 students in the class. Apparently, the class had just been returning from a trip to the school library when the fire drill went off, so when they came in they were still carrying their library books. The students were asked to take their seats and they did so quietly. Everyone's eyes were on Carrie and me. Mrs. Debolt asked us to introduce ourselves, which we did. She told the class that we were learning to be teachers and that we wanted to sit in on their social studies class. Each student sat at a little desk with their name laminated on the top. The students had lamina .....

.... was sleeping. All of the animals who lived on the ground, like Turtle, Elephant, Ox, and Donkey, they all stood near big hollow logs. All of the monkeys and birds who lived in the trees quietly sat in the branches and waited for Rabbit to arrive. Soon Rabbit did show up, carrying a large, thick rope. He ran across the field and made a lot of noise. "Oh, my! Oh, my!" he shouted. Tiger sleepily opened an eye and growled, "Why are you making so much noise, Rabbit? Can't you see I am sleeping?" "Tiger! You must run! A big wind is coming that will blow everyone off the earth!" Just at that moment, the animals hidden in the forest .....

.... quick flight, only about an hour. Being a little nervous about not having enough time to make our flight I urged everyone to hurry along and to try and walk fast so that we could make our connection. Little did I know to my surprise after literally storming through the airport, the flight was delayed. Well that was okay, because we had three hours to do whatever we wanted, just the four of us in the Detroit Airport. Well we shopped, and we ate lunch. After a considerable amount of time, we boarded the plane, and off to Japan we went. I think that I knew how much trouble I was in when I heard four different meals, and five movie cho .....

.... than Snow White's stepmother. The Queen, even in her younger days, had always had the largest mammary glands in the kingdom. With the sudden growth of Snow White the Queen began to doubt herself. So she went to her magic mirror to ask if she was still the most buxom woman in the land. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bustiest of them all?" The mirror, as expected replied, " You are, of course, my most sovereign Queen." Satisfied, the Queen let the matter settle for a while. As Snow White turns 14 things begin to grow even more and the Queen once again gets very worried. Snow White had now begun t .....
