Carmen knew she was in trouble with her teacher. Normally, she’s a good student, but yesterday just wasn’t working for her. No matter what she did, it didn’t seem to work. That included her English assignment with Mrs. Wilson. She’s such a hard person to get to know.
She slept on the problem all night. She remembered a story her Mother told her about giving an apple to her teacher. She wondered, would it help with Mrs. Wilson?
She put the apple on the Teacher’s desk and thought, what’s going to happen?”
Mrs. Wilson saw her and said, “Thank you.”

Jerry had heard a talk about history and thought of his future. His parents told him last night at dinner, “Jerry, you can be anything, anything at all. Remember, you are always the Architect of your own future.”
His girlfriend Lisa came to see him, and he almost couldn’t remember her name. The words Architect and future kept popping into his head.
He must have gone through those two words hundreds of times.
It was now bedtime, and his parents had just left his room. Suddenly, he said, “Eureka. I’m going to be the Architect.
I can build the future.”
Ben knew the rule. His Dad sat beside him; they worked together on Ben’s math and English homework. Ben kept looking outside.
Ben said, “Dad, we’ve been at this for two hours. I want to be with the other kids.” His Dad said, “Ben, Mother, and I go to work every day so we can have a nice life, right?” Ben said, “I know, Dad.”
His Dad's voice was firm but kind, “Ben, we love you and this is your work, and I’m here to help you. Remember, it's ‘Work before play.” Ben, appreciating his dad's guidance, replied, “Thanks, Dad.

Growing up, these two boys—Reggie on the left and Billy on the right—were friends. For the past few months, they fought in the schoolyard daily. But today seems different. Billy almost always started the fight. Today was different. After each boy said some nasty things to each other, Billy yelled at the top of his lungs, “Please stop. I don’t want to battle with you.”
Billy said, “Reggie, I don’t want to fight. My mom and dad fight. You were my best friend. I want that again. Reggie, I really need my friend.”
Reggie said, “I’m right here.”

Bill and Billy met in school in the second grade. They knew that they would always be friends. They went everywhere together. If you found one boy, you found them both. They loved to play Football.
When they were in the eighth grade, they played flag football. Both boys were tackles on defense and offense. Nearly everyone who met these two guys thought they were brothers.
One day, Bill said,
“Hey Billy, why aren’t we brothers?” Billy said,
“Because we have different moms and dads.” Bill said, What if we choose to be family.” Billy said,
“I’m in; we’re family.”

“Dad, do you think the Sheriff will let me keep my claim?” His dad said, “Davey boy, don’t you worry. You found this gold in the mine you dug, fair and square.”
“Yes, but Mr. Jones down in the valley claims everything on this mountain is his," said Davey. His Dad said, “Did you steal this gold ore?” Davey said, “No, sir, I dug it out of the mine with my own shovel. It took me almost a week to dig my mine and fill my wheelbarrow.”
His Dad said, “The gold is your reward for all your hard work.”

LaDon asked Trey, “Why do you carry that backpack with you wherever you go?”
Trey said, “When I was young, I said something awful. I said it to Dad and Mom when I was talking about school. Dad told me that the word I used was wrong. I questioned that. He introduced me to the dictionary that I carry with me all the time. It has more than 500,000 words.”
LaDon asked, “OK, but what’s the point?” Trey pulled his shoulders back a bit and confidently said, “I’ll always be able to find the right word when I need it.”

Reyann loves dinosaurs. She even dreams about them. In the small town of Denoville, Ohio, lots of people talk about dinosaurs.
The town newspaper says it’s been 69 million, 953 thousand, and 581 days since a dinosaur ate someone. Reyann said,
"I personally don’t think that’s correct. Our neighbor is a really old man. He is smart, too. I asked him if he remembered when the last person was eaten. He said,"
“
Your Dad is brilliant. Ask him.”
My Dad said,
“Mr. Wilson is right. Here’s something you need to remember: I’ll always tell you the truth.
I don’t know.
