My Grandpa’s Floating Head
By Veronica Gray, 11
  My Grandpa Jones (that’s what I call him) was the best warrior. I don’t know where, but he told me a story about his young life when he had a whole body.
“Jan, can you please scratch my chin?”
“Sure, Grandpa,” I said. “But can you tell a story of your young life when you had a body?”
“O.K. Fine. I was in the jungle washing my clothes when a strange beast crept up behind the bush and growled. I got so scared I dove into the lake that I was washing my clothes in and once I got to the other side, I ran as fast I could go. I leaped over rocks, but the other side was filled with strange beasts that were scarlet red.
 I saw them and ran the other direction until I hit the water again. I ran on the sand until I saw camp and I was shocked that nobody was there. I swam across the lake and ran to camp. The end.”
“Well, what happened to your body?!” I asked.
“That’s a different story. You just asked about when I had a body. Now rub my feet.
“Grandpa, you don’t have feet!” I exclaimed.
 “Oh, yeah and massage my beard,” Grandpa added.
“You don’t have a beard!”
“O.K. So stroke my moustache.”
“Nooooo, Grandpa. You are going to have to have my brother do that.”
“Pete,” I yelled. “Grandpa wants you!”
