Mr. Bean went to the market. He went to get some milk. But he never came back home. He couldn't find the milk. A 5 year old girl grabbed his hand and led him out of the store. She led Mr. Bean to her mom. Mr. Bean and the girl's mom knew each other from college. Mr. Bean said, "I need to get some milk." She said, "Forget the milk, let's go somewhere fun." They went to Ocean City to have fun. They bought a lot of candy. Mr. Bean got a lot of cavities. Then they went to swim in the ocean and saw something in the water. It was a dead person. It was getting eaten by a megalodon. The megalodon was chasing them. It took a bite of the womans hair. The megalodon ate the womans head. Then it ate Ocean City. Mr. Bean got saved by a cruise ship. He breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered he needed some milk. The cruise ship was filled with old people. The old people attacked him and squished his cheeks. He runs and jumps into the ocean and swims to shore. When he got onto shore people crowded around him with guns and started shooting at him. He went into slow motion, grabbed each bullet, and thre them onto the ground. He said something to the people in another language and everything just stopped. Mr. Bean looked over his shoulder and saw a grocery store. He bought all the milk there. The people on the island gave him a teleporter so he could teleport home. He gives the milk to his family and they realize it's expired by 1000 years. So Mr. Bean goes back to the grocery store to get more milk but it was sold out.
Alligators and Crocodiles
By Caleb Neal
Do you want to know what could be living in your lake, ocean or river? There are two types of reptiles called alligators and crocodiles that could be swimming in your area. Here, you will learn about these two types of dangerous animals.
Alligators and crocodiles are very similar. They both have scaly skin, clawed feet, and long tails. On the other hand, alligators have rounded snouts that are u-shaped. Alligators also do not show their teeth when their mouths are closed. But when it comes to crocodiles, they have narrow snouts that do show their teeth when closing their mouths. They are also different colors. Alligators have dark gray or black skin while crocodiles have light tan skin. As you can see, it might be difficult to see which one lives in your body of water.
Here are some more interesting facts to help you understand what could be swimming in your water. Alligators live in freshwater in China and parts of the United States such as Southern Alabama, Southern Georgia, and Florida. However, crocodiles live in saltwater in Southern Florida and many countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Still need more help understanding alligators and crocodiles?
This last bit of information may not be helpful to tell the difference, but it is interesting. They both are carnivores, which means they only eat meat! They both eat small mammals, fish, and birds. So now you know not to go into the waters they swim in because you might be their next meal!

I’m so glad I have all of these Lucky charms in my life! I can only list five because this is a school writing though. My first lucky charm is my mom! She always cooks really well, even though I may not like the food. She also cleans the house, and encourages everyone when they’re feeling down. My second lucky charm is my dad! Whenever he has time he always plays with me on video games, and watches movies with me! He can get mad, but that’s because of me most of the time. MY third lucky charm is my sister! We have fun together and do funny things sometimes. We’re a dynamic duo! My fourth lucky charm(s) are my grandparents! They are always so nice and caring, and we go to this place called “Andretti's” where you can race other people in go karts! They are so sweet and are basically if my parents were ol- I mean born in maybe 1930? Anyway, my last lucky charm is the cutest of all… my dog, Bear! Bear is so cuddly, and his breed is a cockapoo who are really good for families! Bear poops a lot but he is just a puppy. Those are all my lucky charms, and also have a good day!

Apex predators are important because they control the population of other animals in their habitat. The -Rex is not the biggest carnivore but it was an apex predator. An apex predator is a creature that is at the top of the food chain. The creature has no predator that eats them. A lot has been discovered about the T-Rex by scientists. We thought that the arms on a T-Rex were small, but we were wrong. Their arms are bigger than our legs and arms. The T Rex has bad breath due to the meat they eat. The females are bigger than the males and lived for 30 years. If a T-Rex were alive today many species would go extinct.

Chipmunks are very cute little animals, but they can be deadly. Female chipmunks can have two litters a year, with each brood being between 3 and 5 young chipmunks. Chipmunks eat a variety of foods like bird eggs, mushrooms, plants, bulbs, seeds, nuts and more. They are excellent tree climbers and swimmers. Did you know, chipmunks can run up to 21 mph?
Chipmunks also carry diseases. The most commonly known diseases to spread include plague, salmonella, and hantavirus. Plague is a bacterial infection that attacks the immune system. If you are bitten by one you will get infected badly. Since we know chipmunks carry diseases it would be wise not to touch them.
