The sun is nice and bright

The sun
is so bright
like you

But when
the sun
go's down
it's dark
but it's
still light

Then when
you wakeup
have a nice
sunny day

And on a
sunny day
make sure
you go
outside to
have fun
The sun is nice and bright!

JACK AND LINA
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack and his sister Lina. They were walking along a path named Silly Monkeys. They heard noises like birds singing, alligators snapping, crickets chirping, and wind blowing. There are all types of animals that live on the path also. Suddenly, Jack heard Lina singing a song. “What are you singing?” asked Jack. “I am singing rock to the beat,” Lina said. “Rock the beat, what kind of song is that?” replied Jack. Well it is an old-school song. Ohhhh! An old-school song. “Do you want to sing along?” asked Lina. “No thank you!” Jack and Lina saw a lot of things along the path. They saw flowers, lots of trees, and some amazing insects. Then they both got tired and went home to live happily ever after.

The End!

Vejigantes masks. They are used in a Festival in a place called Loiza Aldea, in Puerto Rico.
This winter, I went with my family to visit relatives in Puerto Rico.
We visited the Botanical Gardens and this is a statue of a Taino Indian,
made out of wood.
