Worry by Haley W.

If worry was a color it would be gold

It would be gold as the bright sun

If worry was a taste it would be just like mud and worms

If worry was a feeling it would be as stout as a cast

If worry was a smell it would be throw up

If worry was a sound it would be a horn blowing

If worry were a color, it would be black.

As dark as a big piece of coal.

If worry were a taste it would taste like hot cinnamon on your tongue.

If worry were a feeling it would be as terrorizing as getting embarrassed in front of the whole school.

If worry were a smell it would smell like spoiled milk.

If worry were a sound it would be like fingernails going down a big chalkboard.

If worry was a color it would be pink as her glasses.

If worry was a taste, it would be just like mayo.

If worry was feeling it would be scary as an asthma attack

If worry was a smell it would be nasty as a garbage dump.

If worry was a sound, it would be as painful as a screech.

One day Anansi met a penquin. “What are you doing?” Anansi asked. “Ice Skating,” said the penguin.

“I want to learn how.”

“Okay, meet me tomorrow.”

“Okay,” said Anansi.

Anansi came to the frozen pond the next day. He saw the penquin and went over to him.

“Okay, now teach me how to skate.”

“I don’t have to teach you.”

“What?”

“You already know how!”

“No, I don’t!” said Anansi.

“Try it,” said the penguin.

So Anansi did and he fell down.

He got up and tried again. He tried over and over until finally he skated across the ice.

“Wow! Thanks for teaching me,” he said.

“I didn’t,” said the penguin. “You can do anything you want if you set your mind to it.”

“I can, can’t I!” Anansi said proudly.

Anansi is a greedy half spider half human. Kaylien is a nice non-greedy kitten. One day Anansi was out strolling and he runs into a fury… Rock? No no not a rock a kitten, her name is Kaylien. They become friends soon after they talk a little. But since Anansi is greedy said to Kaylien. “I will beat you at a running contest.” Kaylien is not grreedy but she agrees, so they start to run. Guess what Anansi won so as greedy he is he rubs it in his face. Kaylien got offended so he stepped right on him.

If worry was a color it would be gray

As gray as a garbage bag sufficating someone.

If it would taste it would taste just like buttermilk.

If worry was a feeling it would be sad as a crying baby.

If worry was smell it would be as smelly a fish tank.

If worry would be a sound it would be as terrible as an opera.

One day a Rabbit was getting food and then Anansi came over and said how do you do that? The Rabbit told him all you do is go after it. Then Anansi said come tomorrow so you can teach me how. Rabbit said allright. So they came back the next day and rabbit showed him how to do it.
