Dear Diary, 
I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning. We had breakfast and dressed up. Today we all went to Sunshine Amusement Park  near Pune. We reached there at 11am , bought our tickets and went inside. I was so thrilled to see the rides. My parents and cousin enjoyed the Thunder fall ride. My favorite ride was Water Splash. After a couple of hours, we had our lunch. Then again we had another Wave pool and the scariest ride that is the Space Gun. We got back to our home in the evening. It was the best experience I ever had with my family in which we all had a great time and enjoyed a lot. 

Joseph.

THE THIRTEENTH BULLET

THE THIRTEENTH BULLET    The mountainous countryside of Owari enjoyed a peaceful existence. The villagers felled trees and burned charcoal, which they would carry over the narrow trails to the nearest towns. Hunters were successful here, for there was plenty of game. As the days passed by, nothing ever happened that was worth the telling. Until suddenly everything changed, and not a single day went by without something happening to upset the whole village. At first, fowl began to go astray, then cattle began to disappear. Even worse the villagers themselves began to fear for their safety. Often those who were confident of knowing their way did not return home from the fields at nightfall. In the morning they were found with torn limbs and mauled faces. The villagers knew that some unknown beast was terrorizing the forest, so they went many times to track it down. They spread traps, but the beast was unusually clever. It was as though it knew exactly what the villagers were...
