Article #107 A Funny Thing Happened on the way to School 
Last  Friday  it  was  very  windy. I  was  walking  down  the  street  with  my friend John. We were having a difficult  time walking against  the wind. The wind was pushing against us, and we felt the force of it pressing against us. We even had a hard  time  breathing. We  were  walking  slowly. We  watched  the  leaves  as they danced and twirled in the wind. We watched a plastic bag as it flew by us. We saw a  little  boy  whose  baseball  cap  flew  right  off  his  head. His  cap  flew along  the sidewalk, and he had to chase it. He finally caught it, and he  held it in his hands tightly  after  he  got  it  back. The  trees  were  swaying  frantically. Their branches swished and waved in the wild wind. John and I were hit by flying bits of paper and leaves. We laughed when a garbage can lid rolled along and hit John in the leg. We saw another garbage can rolling along the road as if it was alive. Everything was moving because of the wind. Then, the funniest thing happened. I wasn't paying any attention, and a paper bag came flying up the street toward us. It hit me righ t in the face and covered my whole face. At first, I didn't know what had happened. I was  blinded. I  couldn't see  where  I  was  going. I  stopped  and held  out  my  hands. When I stopped, the bag fell off my face. I looked at John. He was laughing very hard. He  was laughing so hard that tears were rolling down his cheeks. He said that I looked very funny with the brown paper bag stuck to my face. I started to laugh too. We laughed about it all the way to school. John said that he wished he had a camera. He would  have taken a picture of me with the bag on my face.
