SCARY BOO by Tarrik Tumeh

I found a baby ghost

His name was Scary Boo

I found him in a dumpster

And took him home to you

He ate up to much candy

He's as fat as a rat

Now he's stuck in bed

With a bubble in his tummy

He started exercising

Now he's happy as can be

 Happy Halloween from

 Scary Boo and me

AMER WAKES UP TO ENJOY A BLUFF SUNRISE

AMER WAKES UP TO ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL BLUFF SUNRISE

THE LEGEND OF STINGY JACK AND THE JACK O'LANGERN

Stingy Jack was a miserable, old drunk who loved playing tricks on anyone and everyone. One dark, Halloween night, Jack ran into the Devil himself in a local public house. Jack tricked the Devil by offering his soul in exchange for one last drink. The Devil quickly turned himself into a sixpence to pay the bartender, but Jack immediately snatched the coin and deposited it into his pocket, next to a silver cross that he was carrying. Thus, the Devil could not change himself back and Jack refused to allow the Devil to go free until the Devil had promised not to claim Jack's soul for ten years.

The Devil agreed, and ten years later Jack again came across the Devil while out walking on a country road. The Devil tried collecting what he was due, but Jack thinking quickly, said, "I'll go, but before I do, will you get me an apple from that tree?"

The Devil, thinking he had nothing to lose, jumped up into the tree to retrieve an apple. As soon as he did, Jack placed crosses all around the trunk of the tree, thus trapping the Devil once again. This time, Jack made the Devil promise that he would not take his soul when he finally died. Seeing no way around his predicament, the Devil grudgingly agreed.

When Stingy Jack eventually passed away several years later, he went to the Gates of Heaven, but was refused entrance because of his life of drinking and because he had been so tight-fisted and deceitful. So, Jack then went down to Hell to see the Devil and find out whether it were possible to gain entrance into the depths of Hell, but the Devil kept the promise that had been made to Jack years earlier, and would not let him enter.

"But where can I go?" asked Jack.

"Back to where you came from!" replied the Devil.

The way back was windy and very dark. Stingy Jack pleaded with the Devil to at least provide him with a light to help find his way. The Devil, as a final gesture, tossed Jack an ember straight from the fires of Hell. Jack placed the ember in a hollowed-out turnip...one of Jack's favorite foods which he always carried around with him whenever he could steal one. From that day forward, Stingy Jack has been doomed to roam the earth without a resting place and with only his lit turnip to light the way in the darkness.

OUR YOUNG ENTREPRENUER .. TARRIK

ROCK & GEM SHOW .. MOAB, UTAH

My story begins one October when mom and I were out for a walk looking for beautifully colored rocks. After collecting some we washed and oiled them to bring out their color. Later that day my grandpa and grandma tell us there is going to be a Gem and Rock show in Moab. This starts us thinking about going to Moab to sale our rocks.

We collect all our rock treasures and put them in the car  heading up to Moab. When we arrive we drive our car inside the Old Spanish Trail Arena to set up shop. We open our trunk and unpack the rock near our table. Then we help grandpa with his dinosaur bones and petrified wood. WOW! They were HEAVY! We then jump in mom's durango and head go to our hotel, it is called Jr’s Desert Inn, we were in room 101, It was average, but ok. What mattered was we had great fun at the rock show.

The next morning at 8:00 a.m. we headed to the Rock and Gem show to get our rock treasures ready for the big day! Man the arena was huge and noisey!  We  sold desert roses rocks, they are from Morocco. alabaster carved balls with 2 balls inside a ball. Amazing! Desert rocks, geodes, minerals and fossils. The next day I made a friend and her name was Maddie she was nice and gentle. So I gave her a crystal ball to make a friends with her.

We started to get busy selling my treasures. Later I went to the food court which was upstairs. I ordered some nachos with cheese. They were delicious, until I got some on my jacket.  During the show I  learned how talking with people and building a relationships with them helps you to trade things and increase your profits. I leaned how to deal with people and help each other. That was the best part of learning.  Around 7:00 p.m. everyone put blankets or sheets on there treasures to keep off dirt on there stuff, we did it to. The ending of an incredible day!

On Saturday my dad came up and traded with mom so she can go home to work, she took grandpa with her. Soon after she left I started to miss my mother,  but I still had a great time with dad! The whole weekend was a great experience. On Sunday the last day my dad and I head over to the Rock &  Gem show and sold more of my rocks. After the rock show was over all the sellers brought there cars and trucks inside the arena to pack there stuff and head home. But my dad and I took grandma and grandpa to Zaks is our favorite place to eat in Moab. We drove home and went to bed exhausted.
