Mr.Dudly was an amazing crime scene investigator. He solved millions of crimes and robberies. He had an eye like a hawk. He could see the littlest thing in a picture or crime scene. He was also extremely good at matching finger prints and getting the persons finger print that he thought did the crime. He would go to there house or invite them to have dinner and he would be taking and then he would have them place a finger on the pad. He was extremely good at what he did. The thing Thea made him stand out from all the other crime scene investigators was how he interigated people and asked witnesses questions. He would do the same thing he did to get people's finger prints but he would really push the people to tell him what he wanted. This is why Mr.Dudly was the best crime scene investigator.

There I was sitting under the gleaming streetlight at night. Then I heard a noise... Boom! Then again... Boom! Finally I saw a bear digging in a dumpster. When he came out he had a jar of honey in his arms. He started to eat the honey until, oh no he sees me I better run . Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Growlllllllll! The bear was picking up the pace. I better run faster. I continued to run until I saw a tree branch that I could grab onto. So I grabbed the branded and swung my self around so that I was now behind the bear. The bear continued to run and then, oh no he ran off a cliff! Dun! Dun! Dun!

There was once a cardboard box in a haunted house. The box took up half of the room. Once a little girl who lived there was walking down the hallway when she noticed the box. It had never been there before so carelessly, she walked in the room. She walked closer and closer. When she reached it she reached her tiny hand out for it. But she couldn't touch it since one of the flaps started to open, than the other one. By this time she was frightened. But she was also curious on what was in the box. She looked down to see what the in the box. Soon, she was pulled down the box with a force. Once she was in the box both of the flaps closed and she was never heard of again.

“Emily can you please go down to the basement and get me the box of winter clothes, but do not touch the box!”
“I have never been down there before so I’m kind of exited.” said Emily
So Emily went down to the basement and saw the huge box, as she walked closer and closer to it, it started to open. Emily had to go in and see what was in there. Emily jumped in and saw a whole new world. She saw baby donkeys and unicorns playing together. She also saw rainbows too!
“I have never seen anything like this before.”
However, when she turned around she saw the portal closing so she quickly jumped back in the portal so she would come back to the real world.
“Emily wake up!!” said Emily’s mom
“I was sleeping?”
“Of course you were because you were so tired yesterday and you went to bed early. Don’t you remember?”
“Oh I remember.”

Something that I hate to love is bagels with cheese and mustard. This bagel is a real thing that real people eat but not to my friends. My friends and cousins will come over and watch me eat then sometimes gag. Here is one of my friends said "I hate mustard. I would throw up if I ate that." I like to eat this but i hate people judging it.

It all started when me Ronald bear met that trickster man with his street light. It happened days ago but here is the story. It was a stormy night and I was walking around the streets of upstate New York. I was sniffing around for something to eat and came across my favorite scent in the world, it was honey!!! But then a man in a black jacket popped out of nowhere!
"Hey Mr.Bear, I hear you like honey." Said the man with a grin. "Just climb to the top of that street light and I will give you all the honey you want." Is what he said while pulling his fedora down over his head.
I couldn't resist this tempting offer. So I began to climb.
"Now you got it sir, just keep climbing. Oh and make sure you touch one of the colored spots." He said now almost laughing.
I climbed and climbed and climbed until I finally reached the top.
"Oh, remember to touch the colored spot!" He laughed.
So I did. But then when I touched the green spot it grabbed my paw! It started pulling in my arm and then shaved off all the hair! This man was a hunter trying to sell animal fur. I ripped my arm out and jumped on the man! Let's just say he broke a few bones!😂

Knock, knock, knock, "Hello, who's there!" called a gruff, female voice.
"It's me, Tom," I called, "or The Bear as you like to call me."
"Okay, you can come in," Mom called back.
The reason all the secrecy was this, we were being attacked by The Wild Bears. They were bears like us, but they wild and wanted to take over the world of us bears. "Mom, can I go to the streetlamp to meet Sam, I heard he's going to show me a present," I asked.
"Okay, Honey," she told me, "be careful."
"Alright Mom, I'll be careful," I growled over my shoulder as I began lumbering back down the road. When I got to the streetlamp I saw what Sam had brought. It was a gigantic jar of honey wrapped up in ribbon! "Where did you get that," I gasped out in wonderment!
"At a large Honeybee nest in the woods near my den," he replied calmly.
"Could you take me there?!" I asked.
"Sure," he answered.
We set off at a brisk pace off toward his den...

As I looked at the huge box I could not believe what was inside. I moved forward and one of the flaps opened and an evil looking man popped out of it. He said “My name The Evil Do’er and I have come to make every school give more homework.” No I thought I must stop him but before I could say something he ran. I chased him through the city and down to Flaherty school. Luckily there were no teachers there to give ides to. He got into the school and I followed him in. We ran down the intermediate wing and into Mr. Pestone’s class but he was not there. I cornered The Evil Do”er but he ran through my legs. The chase started again but he was tiered. I went back to my house and got a net. I found the Evil Do”er in the town hall talking to the secretary of the school’s and caught him. Then it was back in the box and shipped to a mental hospital.

What I hate to love
I hate to love the smell of dirt. I kind of hate this because not a lot of people enjoy the smell of dirt and it’s like I’m the only one and that I’m super different from everyone else. I also hate to love this because dirt is messy and also sometimes there is worms in dirt and I do not like both of those things. The last reason I hate to love the smell of dirt is because I love it so much that I just jump right in it before thinking and I get all dirt and disgusting and that is why I hate my love for the smell of dirt.

It was half the size of the room. As I walked towards it a flap began to open. Then a polar bear climbed out. He said" Hi, I'm Gerald."
"What you can talk!?" I sputtered out.
"Yes I can." Gerald informed me.
"Where are you from?" I asked.
"The North Pole." Gerald told me.
"Why are you here?" I asked Gerald.
" I am on a secret mission for Santa to see who's naughty and who's nice." Gerald said.
"Am I on the nice list?" I wanted to know.
"Yes because you have been nice to me." Gerald told me." Do you know any naughty people?" Gerald asked.
"Yes, there is a bully."I told Gerald.
"When can I see him?" Gerald wanted to know.
"Tomorrow you can meet him."I said.
"Ok thank you." Gerald said.

Write a story that includes a streetlight, a bear, and a jar of honey.

Once there was a bear. A brown bear. A big, hungry, brown bear. He loved to eat. In fact he devoured everything in his way; fruit, leaves, branches, twigs, bee hives, snow, hail etc. He would also eat everything in his way; water, dirty water in sewers, and especially honey. He loved honey so much, that he even snuck out of the woods and crept through the dim street only lit by one streetlight. He had found a house that had several jars of honey. He wanted to sneak into their house and steal several jars of honey. The streetlight flickered on, and off. He snuck into the house. The back door wasn't locked, but it was hard to get open without thumbs. When he got in he could smell that savory aroma in the air. He snuck into the kitchen and saw the tower of jars full of honey. He took only one jar of honey because he could only hold one or else he would drop them. He snuck out the door and had to carefully close the door or else it would make noise. Finally, when he got outside back to the woods he ate the entire jar, honey and all. THE END! =)

I've always loved my street, the nice gray houses and the darker gray shutters. But everyone else hates it. There is a house at the end of the street that is full of iridescent colors... everywhere. You want to know who lives in it? Prepare to be amazed. The person who lives in this house is an old lady that is 89 years old. She wears dark clothes with small tan shoes. A long black cloak and a small white scarf that hangs down of her neck. Well, really I only saw her once but thats what everyone on the street says and also thats what she was wearing when I saw her too. There is a legened that she is an evil which who cast scary spells. And others say she is a loner with no friends. But I'll never know the truth!

As I started to walk towards the immense card board box in my room, one of the flaps began to open. Then another one opened slowly. Now I started to really wonder what was in the box, because many strange things had happened the entire day and I wondered what kind of strange creature would be sitting in this box. But I couldn’t think for much longer, because suddenly, a sound came from the inside the box which made me jump. I jumped backward so far that me back hit my door and made a slam. But apparently the slam scared what was in the box, and out came the creature. I screamed as I heard more of the noises it made before. But, the creature in the big box, was only a puppy! The puppy was tan with a few white spots, and he was definitely not the size of the box it was in. I thought he was really cute. My mom came running in saying,
“Why are you screaming? What’s wrong?”
But as she opened the door she said,
“Oh, I see that you have already found your birthday gift. Well… I hope you like it!”

I was walking home from my friend's house one night when I smelled honey, which I am allergic to.
"Huh," I muttered,"That's weird."
Suddenly, all the streetlights went out, and I tripped! Let's just say I didn't scream like I was five. I got up and felt someone breathing on the back of my neck! I started running the other way, and tripped over a furry leg. With my face on the cement, I could hear heavy, lumbering footsteps. Then a streetlight flickered on and I turned just in time see a figure dash back into the shadows. Then all the streetlights turned on and there was a crash! I whipped my head around and saw a bear with honey all over itself and a shattered ceramic pot of honey at its feet. I don't know where the bear is now, because I fainted and found myself under a parked car!

Spring:

As the immense box started to open I backed away because it hasn't been open since the beginning of winter.But then a cub came out with a mama bear following him.They must have been hibernating in there all winter and I didn't notice.They looked like they were very hungry.The mama bear and baby bear had not eaten all winter.So then the bears started talking to me and I realized I could understand them.They were very friendly bears so I invited them to have blueberry pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast at the Pancake Palace down the street. They all lived happily ever after.

After I looked closer, I saw that one of the sides were starting to open up.Then I saw something start to emerge from inside the box.I started to back up while the box was opening and just as I was about to leave the room, something came blasting out... and it was a, den of cute little kitties!

Once I was walking down a beach in St.Marten. I saw a beautiful grove of coconut palms. Under one tree was a little straw hut. Inside the hut was a box that took up half the hut. I walked closer and the box opened. Inside was a small coconut. Little did I know that when I ate it I opened a portal to a land of happiness and beauty. I entered the portal and closed it behind me. I lived there happily ever after. TheEnd

"Umm...mister pilot? One of the millions of jars of honey we are transporting to England just fell out of the emergency hatch as we were flying over Shaggyville," said the co pilot.
"It's alright, Shaggyville could use an extra jar of honey," said the pilot.
BACK IN SHAGGYVILLE
Late at night, 12:54am to be exact, a large furry honey loving creature lumbered out of his cave. Now, he normally wouldn't be up this late and out of his cave, but tonight he had a reason. He could smell something, something strong,sweet and tasty! He was determined to find out where this delicious scent was coming from!
The creature wandered the streets of Shaggyville. As the scent got stronger the creature ran faster! He started to gallop down the streets and then came to an abrupt stop. He had found what he was looking for. A jar of honey, bigger than the creatures paws sat right on top of a dimly lit stoplight.
At first the creature jumped up and stretched is big furry arms as far as they could go, but that did not work. Next he tried to knock down the street light by running into it, but that didn't work either. Finally the creature climbed up the street lamp and got the jar of honey. As the creature sat on top of the street light eating his honey he thought "it's good to be a bear!"

Timothy the bear loves honey. The taste just makes him happy. One day when he was walking down the street he saw a jar of honey that he really wanted. He stopped for a moment when he realized he was on Puckle street. This would be no problem on any other street but Puckle street has the longest street lights. The bear tried to get the honey before the light turned red but he did not make it. After 2 hours when the lights turned green he got the honey.

Once there was a bear. This bear loved honey, but he hadn't ate it in so long. So this bear went on a hunt for it. He spent all day looking for it but he couldn't find it. Then he looked up and there at the top of a streetlight was a jar of honey. This bear wanted that honey so bad. So he through some velcro onto it. Then he got fur and through it up so it would stick to the velcro. Next he called the fire department. He said "my cat climbed up a streetlight and is stuck up there."In 5 minutes the fire department was over and up the ladder getting the cat down [honey].When the firefighter examined it closely and saw that it was honey he gave it to the bear and said "I thought it was your cat." After that the bear ran for his life.

One night Mr.Grizzly was under a streetlight eating his daily jar of honey when he heard something. "Oh no" , said Mr.Grizzly. "It's the bees, they want my honey". "Ha Ha Ha, the bees will never find me in my house". "Do you he's in the house that says Mr.Grizzly?, Hmmm let's check" , said the bees. Luckily, Mr.Grizzly had a hose and sprayed the bees away. Now ain't that just the bees knees?

It was a dark and stormy night that morning. I had just woken up when I heard a strange noise. “THUMP!” THUMP!” It sounded like it was coming from the attic. I carefully pulled of the covers and slipped out of bed. “THUMP!” “THUMP” I crept out into the hall, barely breathing my hands as cold as ice. “THUMP!” “THUMP!” I climbed up the ladder into the attic. “THUMP! “THUMP” I slowly crawled towards the sound my heart in my throat.”THUMP!” “THUMP!” I finally saw it. AN immense cardboard box that took up half the room. As I walked towards it one enormous flap opened by itself. “THUMP!” “THUMP!” Another flap opened. “THUMP!” “THUMP!” Slowly, something long and thin and dark slipped out of the box. Slowly a long tentacle of inky blackness emerged from the box and started slithering towards me. Sliding deceptively along the ground, it crept inch by inch towards me. I was paralyzed with fear. Then with lightning quickness it wrapped itself around my leg and started pulling me towards the box. I tried to scream but couldn’t. More tentacles whipped wildly wrapping around my arms, my legs, my chest. All the while they were dragging me slowly towards the box. Then I was raised above the ground and was plunged into the box. The folds closed quietly, blocking out the last rays of the full moon. Then, all went black. Black. Black.
