2. I was a piece of gravel named Gary the Gravel. I was a chip
of f the old gravel. while the other particles of gravel my family
and I were, I wanted to get off our mountain. I was never careful
for what I wished for. That proved to be a mistake.
3. One day, me and my familywere resting on the top of the
cliff, under an oak tree, when the oak tree's roots cracked me from
my family. I was only a little happy. Thirty-fiveof my atoms
cracked. It was a hot summer day yesterday, but today was really
cold, so exfoliation pushed me to the top of another spike. It was
freezing! Then I froze. The nextday was a really warm day. I thawed
and fifty of my atoms cracked! I only had 250 left. It was a bad
day for me.
4. I had fallen in to a .young river!I rushed down at a 63
degree angle. I felt like I was going to die. I lost 35 more atoms
and I closed my eyes. I wish that I wasn't so little. I wish I
could combat nature's force. But I couldn't. It was horrible. The
river rushed faster at a mature river.
5. The mature river wasn't very pretty. I lost about 56 more
atoms. The riverwas faster now The river pounded at my head and
thrashed in my cracks. I was being torn apart. Just when I thought
that I was going to die, It stopped, Ihad entered an old
river.
6. The old river curved a lot. I was tired and hungry( I was a
rock so I didn't need any food, so I suppose I wasn't really
hungry). I took a nap when I woke up I saw a lot of oxbow lakes. It
felt good to be able to relax. But this peace was short lived. I
had reached the delta.
7. The delta wasn't very happy . I was swished into the ocean
and it tossed me aroundI was so tiny. I was hurt beyond belief and
I had to sleep. I know I just had a rest, but the ocean tossed me
until I had lost 100 atoms!I wished that I could land on dry land.
I hated water. I wished that the oak popped off another piece of my
family gravel. I slept in the ocean
8. I landed on flat land. I arrived on a beach. Gary the gravel
only had57 atoms left. I was still alivebut barely.I felt good not
to be in any dangerous ordeals. I felt life going away from me. I
wished that I would. Then, I became a lifeless grain of sand.
