One day I was walking into a toy store, and suddenly I saw a bottle. It said, "Do not open. But, I opened it. Then I saw a lady, and do you know who it was? It was Barbie! Which Barbie, you say? Well, it was the one who could ice skate. I asked if I could try her ice skates and she said, yes.

---- Subha Chelvam *** The Do Not Open Box One day I went to a beach and found a box. It was huge, and I took it away from everybody. I went into the trees, and I tried to open it, but it was too hard to open.

My friend, Ashley, was at the beach, and I asked her to come and help me. She said, What is in it? I said, I don't know, because I can not open it. It won't budge. Ugh! Oh, just come on and help me, and we might find treasure in it.

We went to where I hid it, and we started to pull and pull and pull, and finally it came open. But when we opened it, a slob of green filled the air and became a horrible, horrible monster. The monster said, Are you afraid of me? We said, No, we are not afraid of you. I pulled the box shut and the monster went back to the chest and we buried it and never dug it up again. Whew! That was close.I said. Yeah! Ashley said. Then we went back to the beach and never opened a box that said DO NOT OPEN again.

---- Rachel Lawrence *** Do Not Open I went to a store and the door at the back was taped with a black marker, and it said Do Not Open. I was scared, but I opened it.

There was a big safe in there. It had money in it. I heard a noise. It came from the back. I was so afraid, I ran.

It was so dark. I did not know where I was going, and suddenly the wall clapped together. I was stuck in the back. All I saw was a wall. It was starting to stink. I blocked my nose. The boss heard the noise, so he came to my rescue. He called 911 and they came in a flash. I was so happy when I was rescued.

I went to the hospital and I had a broken leg, a broken neck, and a broken shoulder. I had to sit in a wheelchair. I went to town in my wheelchair.

People helped me. I was so happy that I got out of the hospital.
