Treated Equally

Once, a long time ago, when blacks and
whites were treated differently, there was a school. And that school was for black people. One day, the Negro leagues came to
The school to give a first grade class a ride on their bus. Now, there was one boy in that particular class, named Reggie. He was all about fun and loved to go on field trips. on the bus, it was a real tight squeeze because everybody in the class had to sit in the back of the bus. That was the law back then. Finally, they stopped at a restaurant to eat.
Everybody except Reggie went inside. Reggie stayed outside , where he stared and stared at a certain white boy. This certain boy was about the same age as Reggie. He was staring right back at Reggie. The boy’s name was Will. Will waved at Reggie when he thought no one was looking. Reggie waved back. Then Reggie’s teacher came out and said, “ Reggie? Oh Reggie there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you! It’s time to eat.” “ I’ll be in soon.” Said Reggie. You better be. Said the teacher. After she left, Will walked away. That night at home, Will told his grandfather about the black boy who waved to him. Grandfather already knew, for he was at a white restaurant just across the street. I was looking out the window when I saw you. B-but-I-I-thought-no – one was looking. Will stammered. I know. Said grandpa.
Over at Reggie’s house, He told the same thing – or something like it – to his mom.What should I do? Asked Reggie. I really want to play with that white boy.I’m sorry Reggie but you can’t do anything. Yes I can. Reggie thought to himself. Martin luther king J.R is brave . I’ll ask him to do something about it. Martin Luther King J.R was Reggie’s neighbor. Martin was very brave and once said he would do something amazing. But he never did. So, the next day, Reggie went to Martin Luther King J. r ’s house to talk to him and think of a plan. “sure!”Said Martin Luther King J.r I’m always up for a challenge. Great! Said Reggie. But what can we do to make blacks equal to whites? Don’t worry Reggie.Said Martin. I have a plan. So Martin Luther King j.r went to make a difference. And when he did, the laws got changed. Reggie’s mother said to Reggie one night at the dinner table, You were right Reggie. You did make a difference. Well, along with Martin. I’m sorry I misjudged you. You have done well. The next day was Will’s birthday. Will’s mom took him to a restaurant witch was now for blacks and whites. Reggie wanted to try to go to a restaurant that used to be for whites only. It was Reggie’s little sisters birthday, but she was only one. Reggie and Will wanted to go to the same restaurant! When their parents took them, It was at the same time too! They met at the restaurant and their parents exchanged phone numbers, and where they live. They found out they only lived one block away from each other . From that day fourth, Reggie and Will were best friends. Now there is a statue of them with Martin Luther King J.r in the town square. And that proves that everyone can be equal and get along. What happened to Will and Reggie? Well , their at school playing together as best friends.









The End!!!!

What is Christmas Really About?

What is Christmas?
Once,
There lived a family.
That family celebrated Christmas every year,
but they didn’t realize what Christmas was really about.
There was one girl named Suzie,
Who was only four.
On Christmas Eve,
Little Suzie asked,
“What is Christmas really about?”
“Well,”
said Grandpa,
“maybe I can help you out there.”
Then with that,
We went to the shelf,
And pulled out
The Bible,
And read aloud
The story of Jesus’ birth.
“Once there was a man
Named Joseph.
There was a
Woman named
Mary
Who was pledged
To be married to Joseph.
Now, at that time
King David
Issued a decree
That a census
Should be taken.
So everyone under
King David’s
Rule
Had to go to his or her
Hometown to register.
So Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem
So he could register.
At that time Mary was pregnant
With a child.
That child was
Jesus Christ.
They went from door to door
Of inns to find a place to stay.
But nobody
Would let them stay

Because Mary and Joseph
Did not live
In Bethlehem.
Mary and Joseph
Were very tired.
Finally,
A good innkeeper let them stay at his inn.
But,
His inn was full,
So he let
Mary and Joseph
Stay in the stable behind the inn.
There,
Mary gave birth
To Jesus Christ
Who later on in his life
Did miraculous
Things.
Jesus ended up dying on the
Cross
For our sins,
But that’s another story.”
At the end of the reading,
Everyone was silent.
Now they knew
What
Christmas was really
About,
And grandpa could help them celebrate
Jesus’
Birth.
Later on,
That family started
Going to church.
They became Christians,
And they lived happily ever after.
