Kyle liked Lucy more than any other girl in the school, but he had an odd way of showing it. When she walked ahead of him in line, he kicked at her shoe. When she passed him on the
school yard, he called her "Lucy the Loser." He even wrote a mean word on her homework
during the bus ride to school. But what puzzled Lucy the most was receiving an invitation to
Kyle's birthday party. Figuring that he was just planning a mean trick on her, Lucy decided not to
go. As Kyle eagerly awaited Lucy's arrival, Lucy talked on the phone to Jacob. When Kyle
finally realized that Lucy was not coming to his party, he was devastated.

The little grey mouse that lived in my wall prospered for many days on nibbles of my lunch. I'd
pack a meal before bed and, while I slept, he would take small bites of my lunch, which I left on
the counter. He'd take a cracker crumble here, and a bread crumb there, but he wouldn't take too
much and he'd always clean up after himself. Things were going quite well for him and I didn't
even know that he existed, until he got sloppy. One night while I slept, he ate all my chips and
left a big mess. When I awoke to this sight, I knew what had happened to my chips. The next
night he returned for another snack. He found a nice, delicious piece of cheese... lightly balanced
on a mousetrap. Now I don't have to share my chips anymore.

Ulysses spent all his free time reading books and felt that he was very intelligent. One day a nice
student from his class asked him if he wanted to go sledding. Ulysses responded, "I've read about
sledding in books, and it sounds miserable. No, thank you." On another day, a different friendly
student asked Ulysses if he wanted to go out for hotdogs. Ulysses responded, "I've read that
hotdogs are filled with rat parts and pig bellies. No, thank you." Nobody asked Ulysses to hang
out again, but he did read about friends in his books.
