Gnomes go to school
By Christa M.

Once upon a time there was a Gnome named Randolf who was starting school for the first time. No, he wasn’t 3 years old and starting pre-school, he was 100 years old and starting Middle. You see, Gnomes start school when they are 100 because they live until they are 900. And they start at Middle (it’s a Gnome thing.) So being 100, he was quite nervous (I know you are wondering where this is going but it’s going somewhere, don’t worry.) So Randolf bought all his school supplies and things and went to bed early the night before school started. But when he got to school there were police cars in front of the school. Worried, Randolf ran into the school.
"What’s wrong?" Randolf asked a student (by the way this was a private school so there weren’t that many students, or teachers for that matter.)
"Mr. Loson the Science teacher was kidnapped!" He replied.
"Wow!" said Randolf.
"I know." "By the way I’m Wilmer."
"I’m Randolf," replied Randolf.
"Randolf?" asked Wilmer.
"It’s a family name." Randolf said dejectedly.
"Oh," said Wilmer. Suddenly, a mysterious voice came over the intercom.
"Hello students and staff. I think I have what you are looking for."
Suddenly, Mr. Loson’s muffled voice came on over the intercom saying something that sounded like "Kelp free!"
"If you want your Mr. Loson back you’ll have to find him! Maw Haw Haw Haw Haw. Oh sorry. I got carried away."
"Now what are we going to do?’’ someone asked.
"Well like the mysterious voice said", replied Randolf, "we’ll look for him."
"Well, where is the intercom kept?" asked Wilmer.
"I know," said a student, "the principal’s office!"
"Let’s go." said Wilmer. So off they ran into the principal’s office and there in the principal’s chair was Colonel Sanders!
"Colonel Sanders?" asked Wilmer, "aren’t you dead?" Then the Colonel took off his mask and there was William Shatner.
"Who are you?" everyone asked.
"I played Captain Kirk on Star Trek."
"Oh yeah."
"Well why did you kidnap Mr. Loson?"
"Well it’s kind of embarrassing, but I was wondering if I could be the janitor at this school?" William asked.
"You’re a millionaire and you want to be janitor at our school?" everyone asked.
"It’s always been a hobby of mine."
"Oh."
"Well, can I?"
Everyone looked at the principal.
"Well?" they all asked.
"Ah, sure," he said. So things went back to normal and Mr. Loson was fine except for the fact that no one understood why William Shatner wanted to be a janitor. Oh, well.
