Ekob and His Friend Uno

I really love my cute, little grey puppy

named Uno. He is really great! He would
run around, jump on me, lick my face, and
bark endlessly. When he gets naughty, he
would play in the mud and sprinkle dirt on
my shirt. But Uno can really be an angel,
too. He would sit on my lap, brush his head
on my arms, and look at me as if to say,
Im sorry.
Most of all, Uno loves to eat. At home, he
would sleep under my bed, and anywhere
else. He will always be my special friend.

I marvel at the great seas and vast

lands,
Fashioned neatly by Gods own hands.
He created my countrys clear blue sky,
Rivers, lakes, seas, and mountains high.

Wilmas Fight to Win
From Pat Nelsons Magic Minutes:

Quick Read-Alouds for Every Day

Retold by Dali Soriano
Wilma Rudolph was an Olympic
runner. When she was born, everyone
did not think she would live. She was a
very small baby of four and a half
pounds.
When she was four years old, Wilma
was crippled by polio. The doctor told
her parents that she would never walk
again. The whole family, all 19 of
them, didnt believe it. Sixteen brothers
and sisters massaged and exercised her
leg. Her parents gave her heat and
water treatments. Everybody helped.
At eight years old, Wilma had a leg
brace. Even when she had a limp, she
played basketball with her brothers and
sometimes, by herself. When she was
11 years old, she played basketball on
her bare feet. Everyone was amazed.
At 15 years old she became a
basketball champion.
Wilma was excellent in track and field.
When she joined the Olympics in
Melbourne, Australia, she got a bronze
medal as a member of the US Olympic
relay team. In the Summer Olympics in
Rome, she won three gold medals in
track and field events. She was voted
US Female Athlete of the Year,
Worlds Fastest Woman. The little
girl whom doctors said would never be
able to walk got a bronze and three
gold medals. Every athlete that
participated admired and respected her.
But more than that, a loving family
transformed Wilma into a real winner.
