By The Bean

"I saw a big smoke outside the art room window. And I thought it was a fire heading for school. My mommy came to pick me up and I said it was a fire in our neighborhood and the teachers were worried. We had to go home because our linuses and cats because they were scared. We had to put ninjas and kung fu people and a huge shield that a little person is holding and extra ninjas with small shields.
