BILL AND THE BOOM BOX ROCKET

by Artie S.

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Bill, who always dreamed of flying to the moon.

One summer evening when Bill was trying to go to sleep, he was bothered by his big brother Ron. Ron was playing his new boom boxtoo loud. The only way Bill could go to sleep was to put on some headphones and play a tape. His favorite tape had the sound of theocean waves splashing up on shore.

As he lay there in bed with his eyes closed pretending he was lying on the beach under a full moon, he began to daydream about flyingto the moon in a rocket ship.

The rocket ship was not very big--just big enough for two astronauts. He and his brother Ron were co-astronauts.

Bill called out to Ron, "Navigator ready?" Ron called back in the headset, "Yes, navigator ready."

"Mission control ready?" Bill asked into the headset. "Mission control ready. We will begin countdown in T minus ten seconds, nineseconds, eight seconds" . . . Bill's heart began to race . . . "two seconds, one . . . BLASTOFF!"

Bill and Ron were thrown back into their seats. They could feel the skin on their faces being stretched back towards their ears. Thenthey felt like they weighed 100 pounds apiece. Their rocket ship zoomed up into the sky so fast everything out the window was just ablur. It seemed like just a couple of minutes had gone by when everything got really smooth and quiet. They were now in outer space!

Bill was sitting in the front seat and Ron was in the back. Bill asked Ron, "What does it look like out the back?" "It looks like earth is

just a blue and white ball. You can see the clouds and oceans, but you cannot see any cities or trees."

Ron asked Bill, "Can you see the moon coming up?" "Yes, I see it," Bill said. "I think we will be there in about 30 minutes if mycalculations are correct. We're going 25,000 miles per hour and it is about 50,000 miles to the moon." "Cool," said Ron. "I think I willplay my GameBoy and listen to some music on my boom box." "You brought your boom box?" Bill was obviously annoyed. "You knowI don't go anywhere without my boom box," said Ron. He turned on the music and the boys listened. The time quickly passed.

"Mission control to Bill," came over the headsets. "Bill here." "You will need to prepare for landing in two minutes," said the voice."Roger, we'll be ready," said Bill. "Here we go. Hold on, it looks like it might be a rough landing." The rocket ship came in very rough.


8/21

So rough that both Bill and Ron's airbags deployed. Finally, they came to rest. "Bill, are you O.K.?" asked Ron. "Yes, I'm O.K., but thatairbag hit me in the face like a rock-hard pillow. I think my nose would be bleeding if I didn't have on this helmet. Let's take a lookaround and see if the rocket ship is O.K." "Good idea," said Ron.

They put on their moon walk suits. The moon walk suits were big and heavy. They had built in air conditioners to cool them when thesun was on them and a heater to warm them up when they were in the shade. Since they were in outer space, it would go way belowfreezing in the shade and get so hot you could get burned in the sun. When they stepped outside, they felt like they were floating on air.They only weighed about six pounds each. So when they walked, it was as if they bounced. They bounced up about ten feet with eachstep. They quickly gathered up some moon rocks as souvenirs. Then they began to inspect the rocket to make sure it was flyable for the

return trip. Things did not look good. The portion of the ship that housed the rocket starter was heavily damaged. The batteries thatturned the starter were completely destroyed. They began to fear that they might be trapped on the moon. "What are we going to do?"asked Ron. He looked scared. "I don't know," Bill answered. "Let's call Mission Control and see if they have any suggestions."

They went back inside and tossed the moon rocks aside. They called Mission Control. "We will get back to you" was the answer. Theyneeded time to think. "We only have enough food and water for one more day," Ron reminded Bill. "Yeah, we will really need toconserve it." They nervously sat in their seats and waited for Mission Control. No reply. After awhile, Bill jumped up and said, "I've gotit! Give me your boom box." Ron said, "What? Are you crazy?" "No just give it to me," said Bill. Ron surrendered his boom box. Billtook it and turned it on real loud and smiled. Ron looked sad. He just knew that Bill was losing his mind.

Then Bill turned off the music and flipped the boom box upside down. He opened the battery compartment and took out the eight largebatteries. "I think we can tape these together and make one big battery that will start the rocket," said Bill. "Hand me that duct takefrom the tool kit." "Sounds like a good idea to me," said Ron. Bill lined up the batteries in two rows of four and taped them together in abundle. He took a piece of tape and connected a wire to the batteries on each end. He hooked one up to the starter. He took the otherwire and ran it back up to his seat in the front. Bill told Ron to get in his seat. "If I touch the wire to the metal on the dashboard, thestarter should work and we can blast-off." Ron hoped that he was right. "Are you ready?" Bill asked Ron without waiting for an answer."Here goes!" As he touched the wire to the dashboard, they could hear the roar of the rocket. Before they knew it, they were zoomingback through space towards earth. "Yippee!" how they both yelled.

Just then, Bill's mom pulled the headphones off of his head and told him to go on to sleep. It was easy for Bill to get back to sleep,because he hoped he could pick up his rocket ship dream right where he left off.

Lenny the Flying InventorBy Jeff Smith

Once upon a time there was a funny guy named Lenny. Lenny was an inventor. He invented all kinds of contraptions. His houselooked like a mess, but he had some really cool things.

One day Lenny decided he wanted to fly.

"I am going to invent some wings and fly," Lenny told his friend Rudy.

"Now I really know you're crazy. You won't even get off the ground," said Rudy.

"You'll see," said Lenny.

So he went down to his workshop and began working. Day and night, he worked. No one saw Lenny for weeks. Then one day he cameout of his workshop with a great big grin on his face.

He called Rudy on the phone. "Rudy, tomorrow I will fly, but I need your help," said Lenny.

"Did you really build some wings?" asked Rudy.

"Yeah and they are really beautiful," said Lenny. "They're a little heavy though. I need you to help me drag them up to the top of KillDevil Hill."

"What did you make them out of?" asked Rudy.


12/21

"I made them out of some scrap metal I had laying around from when I built my helicopter last year," said Lenny.

"Metal! Don't you think that will be too heavy to use for wings?" asked Rudy.

"No, I calculated all of the angles. I will be like a human airplane," said Lenny.

Rudy just rolled his eyes. "Ok, I will be over first thing in the morning and we'll try them out," said Rudy.

"See you then," said Lenny.

The next morning they dragged the wings up to the top of Kill Devil Hill and Lenny strapped them on.

"Are you sure those are not too heavy? asked Rudy again.

"No, the faster I run, the lighter they will get. The wind will lift me up and I will be flying," said Lenny, quite confidently.

"All right, I am going to get a running start and take off," said Lenny. So, Lenny backed up about fifty feet and started running. As heran, the weight of the wings started to wear out his legs and he got lower and lower to the ground. Just as he got to the crest of the hill,his legs gave out and he skidded across the ground on his face.

After Rudy rolled around on the ground laughing for about a minute, he got up and asked Lenny if he was Ok.

"Yeah, Yeah, real funny," said Lenny. "I guess you may be right they are a little heavy, but I know the shape is just right. I will just goback to the workshop and make them out of another material. Something lighter"

A couple of weeks later Lenny called up Rudy.

"I've done it," said Lenny.

"You've done what?" asked Rudy.

"I reworked the wings. I made them out of wood and tissue paper. These things are so light I may get going by simply jumping off theroof. Come on over, I need a witness," said Lenny.

"I'm on the way," said Rudy.

When Rudy arrived, Lenny was already up on the roof with these hilarious looking pink wings.

"Pink wings!" laughed Rudy.


13/21

"Yeah, this is the stuff I had left over from when I invented that giant Pig robot we used on Halloween last year," said Lenny.

"So you think you're just going to jump off and fly?" asked Rudy.

"Yeah. Here goes," said Lenny.

He backed up a little and took a quick dash and a jump.

Aaaaaaaaaaagh, SMACK! The wings broke right off and Lenny landed on his head in the middle of some bushes next to the house.

After Rudy rolled around on the ground laughing for about a minute, he got up and asked Lenny if he was Ok.

"Yeah, Yeah, real funny," said Lenny. "I guess they may have been a little weak, but I know the shape is just right. I will just go back tothe workshop and make them out of another material. Something not as heavy as the scrap metal and not as light as the tissue paper."

"Sounds like a good idea to me," said Rudy as he rolled his eyes.

A couple of weeks later Lenny called up Rudy.

"I've really done it this time," said Lenny.

"You've done what?" asked Rudy.

"I reworked the wings. I made them out of wax and balsa wood. These things look just like bird's wings. Meet me at Kill Devil Hill, Ineed a witness," said Lenny.

"I'm on the way," said Rudy.

When Rudy arrived, he saw the wings. They did look good!

"I need you to help me strap them on," said Lenny.

Rudy helped him strap on the wings. They fit real snug. There was a handle under each wing out near the tip for Lenny to use to movethe wings up and down and a belt that went around his waste so that they would not fall off.

"Here we go," yelled Lenny as he backed up and began running towards the crest of the hill.

He didn't slow down and just as he got to the edge of the hill, he started to lift up into the air. He was flying!

Personal Response- Lenny the Flying Inventor

I thought Lenny the Flying Inventor was a clever short story. I enjoyed how Lenny the main character was persistent

in trying to achieve his goal of being able to fly. I believe that the story, although fictional had a good lesson to teach

people about thinking sensibly.

This short story is about a character called Lenny. He loves to invent things. He had an extreme desire to be able to

fly. So he set out to design and build the best contraption to be able to do so. His friend Rudy was a true friend. Each

time Lenny was ready to test his machines Rudy would be right there to humour his friends crazy ideas. After a

number of attempts Lenny creates an invention that enables him to fly, at least for a little bit. In the end he decidesthat inventing things that remain firmly on the ground is less harmful to the body.

I love the way Lenny didnt give up on his crazy idea of being able to fly. The fact that he made so many attempts

proves that he is a determined character. He worked long and hard on his creations and even though it must have been

tough to fail so many times he kept a positive attitude. It reminds me of the time when I was learning to ride my bike.
