Up

Once upon a time, Carl was sitting in his house. A knock at the door came. He got up, and then he looked out his seeing thing. It was a tiny hole. He winked one eye. He opened the door. He looked side to side. A boy was on the porch. He didn't see him. He looked the other way, then he looked back at the boy. The boy scared him.

The boy said, "Hi Mr. Frederickson. I found the snipe, and I followed it under your porch. But this snipe had a long tail and looked more like a large mouse. Please let me in."

"No!" Carl slammed the door. "Oh, alright, you can come ....... in."

Russell ran in. His heart beated so fast, because he was breathing so fast. Carl narrowed his eyes and made a funny looking of his mouth. Russell took off his back pack and went over to the picture of Ellie when she was a little girl. She had goggles on. He looked up at her and pointed at the picture.

He laughed, and said, "Heh, heh, goggles."

Carl put his mouth down and narrowed his eyes again. Russell walked over to the map where he was going - South America. He said, "South America. A land lost in time. Are you going to South America, Mr. Frederickson?!"

"Don't touch that! You'll soil it!"

Russell said, "You're smart. Most people take a plane, but you'll have all your TVs and clocks and stuff. Is this how you steer your house?"

Russell made a plane noise. "Oh, this way goes right aaaaaand that way's left. Hey look! Buildings!" He ran over to the window. "That building's so close I can almost touch it."

Russell and Carl imagined if Russell was tied to a rope and Carl was hanging onto the rope. "Don't jerk around much kid!" He accidentally let go of it. And it went back to where they were standing at the window.

Then Carl went over to cut the strings of the balloons so they would go down much so Russell could go home.

The End
