strands of dna song and story:)

this is a song that ambrey made up. she's 7.

there's a worm in my body
that goes up and down
there's a worm in my body
that goes round and round
there's a worm in my body
that goes side to side
there's a worm in my body
that's trying to hide oooOO.

the expression and tune makes it even better. will have a video one of these days.

A day in the life of first Nations Kid
by Ashti

I woke up before the sun this morning.
Everyone was making so much noise.
"The eulachons are here" my sister yelled in my ear.
And then I said "stop yelling I'm trying to sleep!"
Then my mom said "wake up it's time to go berry picking."
Then I took a bath in the river.
I felt clean after my bath.
After I took my bath I went berry picking with my mom.
Next I had breakfast, we had dried berries and clams for breskfast mmmm.
Afterwards I helped my dad by controling the fire.
Then my dad said "I could play with my friends".
My friends and I played tug a war.
Next we played hide and seek.
It was so much fun.

After my friends and I watched these two boys stick fighting.
Next my Dad asked me to go fishing with him I said "okay".
I helped my dad get the nets.
I got five eulachons, my dad got 20 eulachons.

After, it was lunch time.
My family and I had the eulachons that my dad and I had caught.
We also ate urchins.
next my mom asked me to help peel the bark of the cedar, I said "okay".
Then I helped weave baskets.
After I went to the bush to relieve myself.
Next I asked my mom if I could go canoeing with my friends and she said "yes".
After we got back from canoeing it was time for dinner.
For dinner we had a big feast.
We ate, berries, oysters, clams, mussels, urchins, smoked salmon, and euladchons.

After I sat by the fire with my Dad.
Then the Chief said "he was going to tell a story".
I liked the story I guess even though I fell asleep in between the story.
Next my mom carried me into our room.
ZZZ The End!!

The pics were great will scan them one day:)
she is 9.
