Short Stories
Max’s Good Habit

Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all

of his free time. His friends tease him because he would rather read

than play video games, but his parents and his

teachers are proud of him. They say reading is

important, and it will help him learn about the

world around him. They also tell him it is a good

habit to read on a regular basis.

One day Max was reading a magazine article

about volcanoes. He told his friends all about

volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. The

very next week, his class was assigned a science

project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their

project group? Max’s friends weren’t teasing him anymore.

Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The

assignment was to create a poster board with information about

volcanoes and to build a volcano model.

Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his

project partners could read about them too. They also went to the

library to look for more information about volcanoes.

The group met at Anna’s house that night to organize the

information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster

8
board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important.

Then they decided on the following together.

What causes volcanoes to erupt? The release of pressure when

magma rises up through cracks in the Earth’s crust

causes volcanoes to erupt.

How do volcanoes form? Lava from eruptions

cools and forms new crust. The crust builds up

after several eruptions to form a volcano.

How hot is lava? Lava can get as hot as 1,165 Fahrenheit.

The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They

used cardboard and modeling clay. First, they made a volcano

shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in

brown and red clay. The red was lava flowing down the volcano.

They also attached red clay to the top of the volcano to make it

look like it was erupting.

The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud

of their hard work. When they turned in their project, their teacher

was proud too. Thanks to Max’s good habit, they earned an A+ on

both parts of the project.

 Helping Hally

Sam was sitting on the couch, watching television. His mom

walked in the door with Hally, their dog. Hally walked right

over to Sam and licked him hello.

“Hi Hally! How was your

checkup?” Sam asked.

Hally just looked at Sam.

“We have to help Hally,”

said Mom.

“Help her how?” asked Sam.

“Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her

litter? We picked her because she looked like her mom. She

is brown with spots, with long ears, and she was energetic,

so we thought she’d be strong, like her mom. But how does

she look now?” Mom asked.

“Well,” thought Sam, “She’s still brown with spots and long

ears, but she’s not very energetic or strong anymore.”

“That’s what the vet said, too. We haven’t been letting her

exercise as much, and we’ve been feeding her a lot. She

would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked

her more. We have to start walking her more often, so that

10
she’ll stay healthy for a long time. Will you help?”

“Sure!” said Sam. He decided that he could play fetch with

her every day in the yard, because then she could run and

run and run until she was tired. The first day, they only

played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired.

But Sam kept playing with her every day. Soon, they could

play for an entire half an hour! Hally looked stronger every

day, just like her mom. Sam felt great about helping Hally

get strong again
