TEXT 1 STAY IN SCHOOL
BY Margo
Falls
It
was quiet under the sea.Bubbles of air floated to the surface as did pieces of
seaweed.The school of fish swam about movina
through the water in a tigh group.They seemed to be facing the same
direction as they circled about,all exept one fish.His nome was Arcehibald and
he never seemed to get it right.If the school were swimming to the
left,the Archibald would swim to the
right.If they headed up toward the surface,Archibald swam down to the dark depths below.
‘Why
are you always swimming the wrong direction?”Timothy Fish asked.If you’ll be
eaten by a shark,or an octopus?
Archibald
blew an air bubble and watched as it made its way to the surface.”Its
crowded.Why should I always do everything the same as the rest of you? I like
being different”.He blew another bubble and giggled”.
One
day,,Archibald,you’re going to find yourself in big trouble.You’ve got to stay
with the scholl,Timothy warned and swan away with the others.Arhibal swain over
to the oysterbed.He started poking at them with his fins.”Wake up, sleepy
heads”,he teased.The oysters weren’t happy.Archibald was so busy teasing the
oyster that he didn’t see the long tentacle as it reached to grab him.Suddenly
he,felt it wrap around his body.”Help! Help!” he souted.He looked into the
octopus’s eyes.Don’t eat me!....
Why
not?You’re not with your school.You like to swim alone.I’ve been watching for
some time now,waiting for a chance to grab you and eat you for supper”, Oliver
Octopussneered.”When the school of fish
goes to the right,you go to the left.When they head down to the bottom,,you
swim up to
the
surface.You’re different and different tates good.Ha ! Ha! Oliver pulled the
fish toward his mouth.Arhibald was just aboutto be eaten when the entire school
of fish swarmed around the octopus.”let go of him !” Timothy said,hitting the
octopus with his tail.The other fish did the same and soon Oliver let go of
Archibald.”Quick,Archibald.Follow us ! “Archibald didn’t hesitate.He swain with
the school until they were far away danger.From that moment on Archibald stayed
close to the others.If they swam to the left,he swain to the left.If they swam
to the right,he swam to the right.It was much safer in school than being alone

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,First of all, I would like to thank the organizing committee for
