Old Friends and New Friends

Ash and Juni came to visit.  We went on a field trip to Davison Orchards.  I met a girl and it turns out that she is in my community class and my musical theatre.  In musical theatre we are doing a play called Christmas in Egypt.  It is very fun.  If anyone who reads this comes, I can sing you what I know. 

 Grandma is moving here!  She'll be here next month.  We can see her almost every day now.  We can go to her house, she can come here and we can have playdates and sleep overs.

Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.  Then she wanted to try going around the world so she started off from her hometown in Miami, Florida.  She would land on Howland Island.  Sometimes she would take stops in places like Calcutta India. Amelia was only a few miles away from Howland Island when everything started to go crazy.  She lost contact and started going down.  At least that is what some people think.
 Nobody actually knows what happened.  Some think that she was captured by the Chinese and there is proof.  A young man was hunting on one of the Chinese islands and found her briefcase with all of her information and passports.  He handed it in to a man, never to be seen again.  Some people think that she survived and went back to America disguised as someone else.  There is proof for that too.  An elderly woman was noticed looking exactly like Amelia Earhart.  Everything was the same.  Same nose shape, mouth, tear duct size and everything.  When they put pictures of her on top of pictures of Amelia, they are a perfect match.  When they asked her to do fingerprints and tests, she immediately declined and said that she was not Amelia Earhart.  Some people think she didn't want the fingerprints because she didn't want the fame.
Another theory is that she ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean but there are no traces found.
Before Amelia's flight she joked, "find me if you can".  Some people wonder if this was a joke at all.
People have started to find things that belonged to Amelia on beaches.
I like Amelia a lot.  She is so mysterious how nobody has figured out what happened to her.  It is mysterious and creepy at the same time.  Find out more next time on Miky's Mysteries.......

Why the Nile Floods-A Myth

There is one question that people used to ask about the Nile. 

 Why does it flood at the same time every year? 

 A Myth 

By Mikayla Watson

The nile floods every year because of a man.  One day Malachi Mazoovius was walking down the road to get some potatoes for his mother's stew.  Along the way he saw a cheese stand and so he decided to get some cheese too.  As he walked a little farther he saw an onion stand so he got some onion and garlic.  He walked a little bit farther and he saw a tomato stand so he got some tomatoes.  Suddenly, he realized he had to get the potatoes so he hurried on.  He finally found the potato stand but beside it was a stand that had lettuce so he bought some.  All of a sudden he realized he was out of money and couldn't buy the potatoes.  He brought what he had back to his mother for the stew.  She was furious when she found out that he hadn't got the potatoes but she would have to make do with what she had.  She made a stew.  When she tasted it, she immediately knew that it was so bad that she could not use it.  Sadly, she threw it into the river.  All of a sudden the river started overflowing.  She had put too much stew in the river.  Because of her clumsy son now every time the river overflows it's because he decides to go and get some potatoes for his mother's stew.

Edge of Extinction (code name flood)

Edge of Extinction is a really good book. It is about Sky Mundy. When her dad (Jack Mundy) goes missing, she devotes her life to finding him.   There was a gigantic problem.  There were dinosaurs.  Sky had heard that if you're top side for less than an hour, you're most likely dead.  On her 12th birthday, her friend Shawn Riley opened up her dad's compass and there was a note inside.  He had actually left her something, a map and a note.  Despite what she had heard, she travelled topside.  A few days later she met a boy named Todd, and his village.  That's all I'll say so I don't give the rest of the book away.
