Story:

"The Missing People"

Once upon a time, there was three boys - J_, R_, and T_. They liked to hang around a seaport named Wilmington. One time they were sitting around the port talking when a ship came floating up.

"Hey! These are the cars that have been missing from Japan!" T_ said.

"Let's go check it out."J_ said.

When they got on the ship nobody was there.

"What in the world happened here?" R_ screamed.

They began to search around the ship. But still they found nobody there!

"Help! Help! Anybody, please...Help me!" a man said in a distance.

"Hey! I heard something!" R_ said.

"Let's go check it out," J_whispered.

"OK," said J_.

They found a man laying under a table.

"What happened?" asked T_.

"An anaconda attacked us and I'm the only one that survived," the man said.

"Hey, we'd better get out of here before it gets us too!" we all said together.

So we got out of there. We took the man to the hospital. The doctors looked him over. He checked out ok, and he came on with us.
