SPRING FEVER AND THE MAGIC MAP THE EASTER I WAS TINY
EASTER TASKS

Third grade

There is a girl named Spring
Fever, and she's putting aside
her winter clothes and coming
out with her spring clothes. She
is ready for all the spring stuff,
and she is even ready for Easter.
When she came out this morning, I saw her dress like she
was no ordinary person. She said today looks like a good day to
go outside. So, I told her to come here and showed her the old
wooden box that I found and what was inside of it. She said it's
just the old map. I said it isn’t just any type of map. It is a magi
cal map. Then she said how is it a magical map? She went back
to her house and brought a magnifying glass over, and then we
went outside.
The wind was blowing. We had to wait until the wind was gone
and when the sun came up the reflection showed little marks that
look like teeth marks, but they were little lines to show the path
to where a treasure was. Spring Fever said this is a magical map,
what should we do with it?
I told her to keep this for a long time. She said I won't let you
down. Spring Fever lost the map, and she came back the next
week without it in her hand. I asked her what happened, and she
said I lost it. So, we had to go asking everybody in the neighbor
hood if they know where it was. Finally, one person said “I saw
a map blowing by with blue glittery lines, but then I picked it up
and put it in the garbage.” I asked him if the garbage truck came
by. He said not that I know of, and then I followed that garbage
truck and chased after it.
Finally, I saw the map, but the truck got faster and faster. I
tried with all my might, but I couldn't go anymore. So, I tried
using the rope I had. Then I came back with nothing in my hand
but a piece of dust. Spring Fever asked where do you think the
garbage truck is going? It always goes to the dump hole, and she
said that's where we are supposed to go. So we chased the truck
until Spring Fever started to feel cold. She asked why is the cold
coming in? It was close to night, and she said I think I should be
going home. I said but what about the magical map, and Spring
Fever said, “I thought it was nothing anyway.”
That made me feel sad. So, I took my walk back home and
couldn't sleep because I kept on thinking about that map. What
was going to happen? The next day I looked in the box and
found the map. I wondered how the magical map got back in
the box. Spring Fever said, “It probably came back by itself with
its magic.” I said “Cool now we must hide this magic map for
now.” So, we hid it back in the wooden box, and Spring Fever
left to go home.

I’ve been so busy lately! This
morning my mama and I were
getting ready for Easter.(Eas-
ter is tomorrow) Mama was
making little sandwiches and
cookies for the Easter picnic at
church. I was painting eggs for
the Easter egg hunt. Since I’ve
been so busy, I haven't had any
time to rest. I... (yawn) am going to take a nap.
(Yawn) I’m up! Wait a minute. Why is everything so big? Oh
no! I shrank! Okay. I need to get my mama’s attention. (Mama!
) Oh look! It is my puppy Bodie. I am going to jump on him and
find mama. Terrible mistake. Turns out Bodie was going outside.
He must have felt me on him because he scratched me off. Now
I am lying on the ground trying to figure this out.
Oh no! My cousins are here for the Easter egg hunt. Here
comes mama. Hiding the eggs is usually Uncle Gregory’s job,
but mama is doing it this year. (Drop ) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Eggs
are falling everywhere! I want to go home, now! I am going to
hide in the shoe cubby. It is cold now. I will cuddle in a leaf that
is the size of a blanket.
(sniff sniff) I’m so sad. I want to get back to my regular sized
life. If I am so tiny maybe I should make the best of it. Just as I
thought this my cat, Pete came up to the shoe cubby. I jumped
and landed on her back. Pete was walking up to the swing. Oh
no! Pete has decided to climb up the swing and walk across the
pole that holds the swing. Hold on tight!
Here we go! I am scared and excited all at the same time! I
have to hold on tight to Pete’s fur to stay on. This is so exciting,
Pete and I are on top of the swing! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! “Pete, please
do not jump off this swing.” I shakily said. Here we go again!
I hope that saying that cats always land on their feet is true,
(phew) The saying is true. Come on Pete let’s have some fun.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Pete is really good at climbing.
This adventure has been fun but I think it is almost time to go
home. I am pretty dirty. Oh! I see a daffodil that is filled with
dew . I can pull it to wash off all of the dirt.I did this and now I
am sleepy.(yawn) Wait, that was all just a dream. That was crazy!
Guess what? I made it back just in time for the Easter picnic. Ha!

One day, I was cleaning my
garage because my mom said if
I cleaned it she would double my
allowance. And when I was mov
ing boxes I came across a box that
stood out of all of the boxes. It
was very old, dull, and wooden.
I decided with a little bit of hesitation to open it.
When I opened it my mouth flew open it was a shiny golden
ticket. I took the golden ticket out and read it. It said if you find
this you are very special and little do you know you are the chosen
one to be the Easter Bunny’s partner but it doesn't come easy.
You have to complete a series of 4 tasks.
Number 1, Find a golden egg. The Easter Bunny has hidden a
couple of golden eggs around the hotel. Number 2, Make it past a
child asleep without waking the child. If you wake the child you
have failed your 4 tasks and don’t get to be the Easter Bunny’s
partner. Almost finished, Task Number 3, You will have to sit in
a room with so many pieces of chocolate you can’t even imagine
how many pieces of chocolate. But you will have to resist eating
any of the chocolate. Hard right just wait it hasn’t even started.
Task number 4, you will have to complete an obstacle course
with water underneath you. Also you will have to hop over the
biggest egg in the whole entire world that was flown in from
Russia. Don’t think that’s it because it isn’t. You have to do what
I call the spider jump. After you have completed those tasks you
will have to do one more obstacle and it is the hardest obstacle
out of all of the obstacles. You have to do an escape room but
time is ticking and you have 1 hour to complete it. It has tricks,
it has locks, it has crazy doors. Some of the doors are terrible so
before you open a door make sure to look for more clues because
you can never be so sure.
That is all of the tasks if you complete them you proved your
self and you will become the Easter Bunny’s partner. Not only
that you will be supplied with infinite amounts of chocolate. And
like I said at the start I was the chosen one and I was the chosen
one for a reason because I completed all 4 tasks and became
the Easter Bunny’s partner. And my experience was hard but I
did make it through.
The jumping part was hard, aka The spider jump. And then the
escape room required your brain to think and to use creativity.
And having to sit in the room full of chocolate was just a hard
temptation test. And those are my reviews. Also he is looking
for another partner so you never know you could be the second
chosen one.

Spring Fever was the name
of this forty-nine year old man
who ended up having spring
fever. Spring fever is when you
love spring so much that you
just got to change your name to
“Spring Fever.” He even had stuff in his house that had a whole
lot to do with spring.
When his alarm went off early in the morning he slumped
down in the comer of his bed and stayed there. On the weekends
he was so happy because he didn't have to go to work. He started
to plant a beautiful garden with sunflowers and spring colors.
But once the weekdays came he did not eat breakfast or anything
he told his dog that he wanted to stay in bed.
But one day he decided he would go to work just to go once
he went. Everyone was excited to see him at work and not fall
ing asleep or anything. What made him stay was that he saw
beautiful apple trees and sunflowers and he stayed the whole day
after five to six months. He was very upset because spring was
gone but summer was here and many of his flowers died from
the heat . He started to stay in bed once again and never went to
work barely went outside his house was a mess from not getting
up on some days but when he went outside to get the newspaper
he saw a beautiful bunch of flowers he smelled them again and
again and again that he almost sucked all the sent out of them.
He put them in some water and he started to clean up his house,
until the flowers died. But more flowers were there and he looked
at the date it was spring . ‘’spring at last he said spring at last”.
He started going back to work.
At work they had a spring party with so many people and flow
ers that he could not even count them all. Once again they were
happy to see him. Once he got home he saw flowers growing in
his yard and around his house he was happy to see all the flowers
and green grass. Once he got in his house he saw a woman, he
asked the lady did she did all this she said yes ‘’because I also
have spring fever too” after a few years they got married and
had two kids one was a boy and one was a girl and he found a
way to make spring stay he started a inside garden they made
sure that the plants get watered, it got enough sunlight ,and wind.
After a few more years he owned a flower shop. His wife and
kids made sure that he went to work. Instead of getting upset
about spring leaving, he
actually enjoyed it once it left.
His family went on a trip for two weeks but then spring left
again he was upset.
And once again the house was messy, after a while his family
came back, and they saw what had happened they immediately
started to clean up the house.
It was also his birthday so they went to the flower shop to
celebrate his birthday. Many people were there. His party was
in the spring .
They had such a great time. But after that it got worse the lady
got it she already had it but it gets even worse it was spring she
started to pick flowers out of everyone’s garden but they said she
could because everyone new how she was but once she saw all
of them beautiful flowers it immediately went back to her old
self and started to pick all the flowers.
