THE HISTORY OF THE M&M BY AYLA

Two cavemen were sitting around doing nothing when they suddenly saw a dark brown powder on the floor. One said to the other "why don't we try putting it in milk and mixing it so we can drink it?" It sounded like a good idea so that's what they did and after mixing the cocoa and milk in a pot for a long time they got tired and went into their caves to sleep. BUT.... they forgot to take the pot with them so it got left out and froze in the night. When they woke up the next morning they were very angry and wanted to throw the mixture out but then a cave girl from the village came up to them and started yelling at them for no apparent reason. They got so freaked out they they tried to run away but she caught them and started throwing coconuts at them. They got really angry and threw the pot with the defrosted milk and cocoa mixture at her. The pot broke in midair and just the chocolate flew into her mouth. Then an amazing thing happened: the girl smiled and swallowed the chocolate, she loved it! And tried to tell the cavemen how good it was but she couldn't because the huge bar of chocolate gut stuck in her throat !!!!! Luckily one of the cavemen immediately got it out of her throat and the girl told them that they should make more of the chocolate but this time to avoid the danger of big chocolate bars break it down into little bite sized balls. The cavemen followed her instructions and when they were done, before giving them to the other cave people, carved two Ms on each ball because their names were Marg and Murg.
And that is how we ended up having the M&Ms we eat and love today.

Youtubelandia

Here is a story that I made up. Enjoy! 

Once upon a time there was a land, but not the fairytale kind of land with castles , or an underwater land. This was a very different land, it's name was Youtubelandia.  From a distance , it looked liked any other city or country but when you looked a little closer paying attention to the details you could see that it wasn't. I have been to Youtubelandia and so I will share with you all that I saw and my experiences.  The houses there,were square and in the shape of computer screens. Inside the average house there were three types of rooms: the kitchen that was simply a wall with buttons ( later we will find out what they were for) , the bedrooms that were quite big with mattresses and pillows and the bathroom that was medium sized and had red beams that were for scanning ( we will find out more about these later) on the walls. But stranger than the buttons and scanners in their houses were the people inside them.  And they were the part of Youtubelandia that surprised me the most of all. Because they were shaped like boxes with keyboards on the bottom and arms and legs,inside each of these boxes there was a black space that; when the Youtubelandians talked would not speak words but would show videos. The people of Youtubelandia did not have names such as Sarah, Tom, Amy... but they had usernames like: princess_amy54 , Dragon slayer_ tom19, Sarahpinkfactory34. My Youtubelandian friend Vcfairygirl_isa for example instead of saying "i'm happy" would show on her screen a video of a rainbow or of  happy person and by doing so would express her feelings. Her mother cakey_30 who I also met would not say "Thats wonderful darling" but would comment on her daughters video using the keyboard. You may be wondering how I know all of this so here is the story of how I stumbled upon Youtubelandia.

It was a sunny morning in New York and I decided to take a walk in Central Park. I had just gotten a chocolate drink from Starbucks and a book and was looking forward to devouring both of them; when a little girl told me to come with her. At first I resisted but in the end I decided I should go with her and see whatever she wanted to show me so that i could get on with my day.  She brought me to a bench at the far end of the park where she told me to close my eyes, I obeyed and then she asked me to hold her hand and walk forward. I did that and found myself walking into a tree! I fainted and when I woke up I saw that I was on some kind of street. I looked up to find myself in front of Youtubelandia. I will be forever thankful to that girl in the park and in fact she is sitting in the room next me right now,plugging her self in to the wall in the kitchen and pressing the button that says ideas on it. While I'm typing this in a large room with a mattress and pillow smiling ,proud of myself for having been able to recount all that has happened to me in the past few months. By the way the scanner in the bathroom would scan the Youtubelandians for bad content and take it away.

I hope that someday all of you reading this will be able to see Youtubelandia for yourselves but for now I hope you liked my story!
