Once upon a time there were 3 people. Two of them were 8 and the other one was 5. The two 8 year old girls bossed the 5 year old. The 5 year old was nice and helped people who were hurt and gave money to those who were poor. The 5 year old was very sad, because they were mean to him. So, he left town. He went on an adventure to England. He did not like it so he went to Florida and then Australia.

He could not find a place to live or happiness so, he went home to Louisiana. To his surprise, people had planned a welcome home party for him. Even the bossy girls were there. He was shocked and happy. Everybody was excited to have him home.

The next day, he was so excited. Today was Jack's birthday. He rushed out of his bedroom. He waited for people to come at 6 p.m. There were a lot of people invited. He could hardly wait. Finally, it was time. He rushed to the door and opened it. Sadly, he closed the door because no one was there. Then there was a knock and people came rushing through the door. Everyone was excited and ate cake.

Jack's piece of cake was weird. The more he ate of his cake the less it disappeared. But, when he turned it around, he saw a password and a button. This was a mystery and a new adventure. He guessed the password and pushed the button. But what did it mean? As he was trying to figure out the mystery, it was time for everyone to leave. It had been a great day and wonderful party.

The next day, he decided to go to all the bakeries and ask if they put a button and password on the cake, but none said "yes." He had gone to every bakery except one. When he arrived, he asked him about the mystery cake and too his surprise he said yes. It said he put the button and password in the cake so people

could save money. Well, "I think I solved the password!" "WHAT!" said the man as he walked away. Turns out, he would save money because once you figured out the mystery code you would get a free piece of cake. "What a sweet treat," thought Jack.

The next day, Jack went to the library. He was very excited. He loved reading. There were so many books to choose. Jack only wanted one book, but he could not find it. It was his favorite book so, he asked the librarian if it had been checked out. She said, "no." He looked up and down the book shelves and finally he found it. This was an ultra rare book. A book on space and very special for him. This book had a gold

medal on the the cover and won best book in a competition. Now Jack could sit back and let his imagination take flight.

As Jack read his book, he was lost in his imagination. He was playing outside when his house began to float due to lack of gravity. He loved space and could not wait to play in it. But first, he had to put on a helmet, because there was no air is space. He looked at the wonderful planets. Then he saw an alien space ship getting closer. There were little tiny aliens peeking out the spacecraft. Jack wondered if
