Once under a hill there was the village of Wazeroo, and upon the hill there was the evil mansion of the evil Humperdinker. And the evil Humperdinker was the Count of Wazeroo, and if he ever heard an insult at him from someone, he would send him to the stocks with 4 of his guards called the Dingers. Then after a week he would make them his own personal slaves, and as you guessed he had hundreds of them. But there was a secret group of warriors coming to attack his castle this very night......
But they lost. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!?!? THE GOOD GUYS CAN'T ALWAYS WIN! JEEZ!!

This is a series of stories about an orphan named Will, who becomes apprenticed to a Ranger called Halt one of the most legendary Rangers in all the land. Soon they set off to the Gathering, an important date in the Rangers Calendar, but when halt and Will get there, Halt recieves news that The Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, Morgarath, has sent out the two last remaining species of Kalkara, which have sided with Morgarath. Now Will, Halt and Halt's old apprentice, Gilan, set out to kill the Kalkara in the Book Ruins of Gorlan, the first book in the series. The others are great too, I promise you that. If you like Medieval fantasy, then these are the books for you.

"DID YOU MOW THE LAWN, DID YOU WASH THE DISHES, DID YOU WASH THE CAR, DID YOU FEED THE FISHES!?DID YOU WATER THE PLANTS, DID YOU FILL THE SPA POOL, DID YOU EMPTY THE PAN FULL OF OUR DOG'S DROOL!? DID YOU FIX MY YACHT!?" yelled Mr Yellalot.
"No, I didn't do any of those things 'cause I CAN NOT!!!"
The servant left Yellalot's mansion, and headed south-west, to find another place that suited him best!

Once on a rainy day at an airport now far from here was the most, funniest, dare devil thing a mouse and cat could do. The mouse named Mack was a grayish black and on very rare occasions he ran faster than a cheetah, breaking the speed limit. But the cat named ‘The Boss' was ginger and the boss of all cats.
Anyway, Mack had gone into an airport because he wanted a change of scenery. So he went inside being VERY careful not to be seen. Soon enough he found himself behind chair of the control room person. He didn’t want to get caught so he hid right under it and stayed still.
Meanwhile The Boss was smuggled in with three of his minions. The three minions created a small fight to distract the two Animal Control people on guard. As soon as The Boss was smuggled in he stuck to the shadows. When he found a deserted corner he shook all the rain off his fur.
“I hate rain,” he mumbled and grumbled all the way down the empty corridor and squeezed through a gap in a doorway and entered the other side of the control room. He unfortunately also spotted Moose who let out an unnecessary shriek of terror jumped and hit his head on the base of the chair. Then one of the control tower people saw them and said, or should I say screamed,
“MOUSE!!! CAT!!!”
Then she called the animal control. While she was talking, the other guy was sweating with his legs on his chair.
The Boss asked, “Why did you do that?”
Mack, who wasn't really listning said, “Gobble me…Put salt on me… EAT ME WITH PLEASURE!”
“Ugh, I’m really a vegetarian,” said The Boss.
“Oh,” said Mack.
Then they heard thundering footsteps coming down the hall and evil voices.
“They went in the control room. You block that door and I’ll block this door.”
Then two menacing Animal Control guards stood at the doors. One was brown with a net and goatee, the other with a net and moustache was white and he had a badge. Then they lunged for The Boss and Mack but the two victims escaped their grip and ran.
“I didn’t catch your name. Mine’s Mack. What’s yours?” Mack asked The Boss.
“To be honest it’s Mike,”Mike answered as they both sped around corners and raced along hallways. As they turned a corner and the Animal Control thundered down the hallway that was in front of them Mack sped away. But Mike was too slow and got caught.
“That’s ‘im, one o’ the little blighters,” said the brown Animal Control person
(or AC1).
“Yeah, but the mouse will be ‘arder to catch,” said the while Animal Control person (or AC2).
But Mack realized Mike was caught so he skidded hard to stop himself going any further. But he kept going until he smacked into a wall.
Then, a bit dazed, he turned around and rocketed back from where he came from. Eventually Mack saw the net behind the Animal Control people and sped towards the it. Then he silently nibbled at the net so Mike could get out.
“Thanks,” Mike whispered.
As soon as they had crept a few centimeters AC2 said,
“The net’s got lighter. I’m wondering if the darn mouse let the cat outta the net.”
He turned around and saw the two
“CHARGE!!!” he hollered.
Soon they were all darting left and right taking shortcuts wherever they could. As soon as they passed a couple of exit signs Mack got an idea.
“Mike, you’ve got to overcome your fear of rain!”
“What !? Are you crazy?” asked Mike. “Every cat is afraid of water and don’t you forget it.”
“Well your cats seem to like water, they say it’s the gift of the gods,” stated Mack.
“Oh well if it means ending this chase I’ll give it a try,” said Mike boldly.
“Okay, burst out a door … NOW!” said Mack.
They turned a corner and burst out the door.
“Get under cover,” said Mack.
“Na, I LOVE WATER!” said Mike happily.
Meanwhile the Animal Control accidentally chased their own boss and whacked him over the head when they caught him. Then there was only one thing the Animal Control boss had to say:
“YOU’RE FIRED!”
I know I would.

Electricity is one type of many types of energy. Electricity is found in houses, workplaces and nature. You use many electricity run appliances in your house. Some of them are washing machines, computers, radios and TVs.
Natures most powerful source of electricity is lightning. Lightning is made when ice and water is rubbed together. Lightning has been known to strike objects on the ground.
Batteries store chemicals like mercury, helium and others that make electricity. When you insert batteries in a battery run appliance and turn it on all the chemicals flow into the appliance and give it power to go.
The sun is a HUGE source of energy. Its energy is called solar power. Solar panels convert the sun’s sunlight into power for appliances such as torches, fans, calculators and maybe some toys.
Large amounts of energy come from power stations. Big turbines are turned by oil or coal to make electricity. Wind, water and steam can also turn them. Then it’s sent along power lines to houses, town and cities kilometers away. The rest is controlled by people. When someone wants something on they flick the switch then the electricity is put to good use.
