The Kingdoms James Baldwin There was once a king of Prussia whose name was Frederick William. On a fine morning in June he went out alone to walk in the green woods. He was tired of the noise of the city, and he was glad to get away from it. So, as he walked among the trees, he often stopped to listen to the singing birds, or to look at the wild flowers that grew on every side. Now and then he stooped to pluck a violet, or a primrose, or a yellow buttercup. Soon his hands were full of pretty blossoms. After a while he came to a little meadow in the midst of the wood. Some children were playing there. They were running here and there, and gathering the cowslips that were blooming among the grass. It made the king glad to see the happy children, and hear their merry voices. He stood still for some time, and watched them as they played. Then he called them around him, and all sat down together in the pleasant shade. The children did not know who the strange gentleman was; but they liked his kind face and gentle manners. "Now, my little folks," said the king, "I want to ask you some questions, and the child who gives the best answer shall have a prize." Then he held up an orange so that all the children could see. "You know that we all live in the kingdom of Prussia," he said; "but tell me, to what kingdom does this orange belong?" The children were puzzled. They looked at one another, and sat very still for a little while. Then a brave, bright boy spoke up and said,-- "It belongs to the vegetable kingdom, sir." "Why so, my lad?" asked the king. "It is the fruit of a plant, and all plants belong to that kingdom," said the boy. The king was pleased. "You are quite right," he said; "and you shall have the orange for your prize." He tossed it gayly to the boy. "Catch it if you can!" he said. Then he took a yellow gold piece from his pocket, and held it up so that it glittered in the sunlight. "Now to what kingdom does this belong?" he asked. Another bright boy answered quickly, "To the mineral kingdom, sir! All metals belong to that kingdom." "That is a good answer," said the king. "The gold piece is your prize." The children were delighted. With eager faces they waited to hear what the stranger would say next. "I will ask you only one more question," said the king, "and it is an easy one." Then he stood up, and said, "Tell me, my little folks, to what kingdom do I belong?" The bright boys were puzzled now. Some thought of saying, "To the kingdom of Prussia." Some wanted to say, "To the animal kingdom." But they were a little afraid, and all kept still. At last a tiny blue-eyed child looked up into the king's smiling face, and said in her simple way,-- "I think to the kingdom of heaven." King Frederick William stooped down and lifted the little maiden in his arms. Tears were in his eyes as he kissed her, and said, "So be it, my child! So be it." The king's interaction with the children may best be described as

A) lecturing.
B) explaining.
C) provocative.
D) interrogating.

Nothing Constant

“Nothing is constant but change.”

—Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher

1

It was the last day of school; the kids were gone, the books had been collected, and Principal Drake was handing out final paychecks. This was normally a relaxed meeting at which teachers wearing casual clothes smiled and wished each other well for the summer. But no one was smiling today, because a story in the local newspaper had exploded like a crack of thunder.

2

The headline read, “Board of Education Plans New Middle School,” and the staff members of East Orange Elementary were rattled.

3

Principal Tom Drake opined, “I am concerned about a situation in which a newspaper already knows school district information that comes as a surprise to me and my teachers.” He continued, “But of far greater concern is what this means for us, for our colleagues at West Orange, and for students and parents throughout the district.”

4

Coach Melinda Gardner whispered to her friend, Mr. Dale French, “Old Tom is just worried the Board might ask him to retire and make someone else principal of the new campus.”

5

Mr. French whispered back, “Melinda, you be nice now,” but he couldn’t help smiling at his friend’s remark.

6

As the meeting went on, many teachers worried out loud about what might happen if grades 6-8 from East and 6-8 from West consolidated.

7

Ever since the two elementary schools had opened, decades ago, the district had proudly maintained a unique system. While surrounding districts had built new middle schools, Orange kept two elementary buildings—East and West—with K-8 graders in each.

8

Now, according to the paper, the results of the 2010 census were in. They suggested population growth would soon fill both elementary schools with K-5 students only. Apparently, the Board thought the time was ripe to build one new middle school for 6-8 graders.

9

“Will one campus need two middle school science labs?” Dr. Fred Davis, the science department head, asked the group in his usual shy, quiet voice.

10

“Since there is only one middle school library, is the Board going to honor seniority?” Mrs. Betty Green asked brashly. “Or the Board could just keep whichever librarian has the coolest photos on her social media site,” she added sarcastically.

11

“Mrs. Green is worried her lack of computer skills might finally hurt her,” Coach Gardner whispered to Mr. French again.

12

“Coach Gardner, please!” Principal Drake scolded his gym teacher for whispering. “You would not tolerate it if your students were rude. This turn of events has caused real alarm so let’s be sensitive to each other’s concerns.

13

“I apologize for both of us, Tom,” Mr. French offered. “But let’s not get carried away and spoil our summers over this. We don’t know if this proposed new campus will actually be built. The census projections could be wrong. Even if they are right, the cost of raising taxes to pay for a new school might not go over well with voters.”

14

Mr. French continued, “I plan to enjoy my summer and expect another great year. Chances are we’ll all have jobs because several teachers retire every year and the Board moves us around to fill the vacancies. Some of us may have new assignments, but we’ll all land somewhere.”

15

All around the room there were nods of agreement. The atmosphere of gloom gave way to the usual feelings of accomplishment and relief at the end of school.

16

Mr. French offered one more uplifting thought. “Each spring we graduate our eighth graders and send them on to Central High. If they can adjust to a new building, I think we can too.”

17

With that, the teachers adjourned and summer vacation began.

How do Mr. French’s words reflect the theme of this story?

A.
He apologizes for being rude by whispering at a meeting.

B.
He points out that citizens may not accept a tax increase.

C.
He looks forward to summer vacation with relief.

D.
He encourages people to accept change without fear.

In a personal narrative, the narrator can best highlight the qualities of the subject with
A. descriptive labels.
B.strong examples.
C.background information.
D.concluding statements.

The Coat By: Lex Wilford Eighth grade, Mrs. Jaffrey’s class. It was always cold in Mrs. Jaffrey’s class. It was always freezing in there. And every day I wore my coat to her class she told me not to. “Why not?” I asked her. “It’s cold in here. I’m cold.” “Because you’re not supposed to wear your coat to class,” she kept saying. Seemed pretty stupid to me, so I kept wearing my coat to class, I was cold. After a few days, Mrs. Jaffrey told me to hang my coat in the principal’s office. Told me to stay there for the rest of the afternoon. Told me to write her a five hundred-word essay on why I shouldn’t wear my coat to class. “Why?” I asked her. “I can’t do that. how’m I supposed to do that?” She looked at me over her horned-rims. Her lips were white. She had her arms folded. The north wind coming up off the practice fields outside glazed the windowpanes along the wall with ice. “Be creative”, she said. I sat in the principal’s warm office and wrote a hundred sentences, like the ones I’d written on the detention hall chalkboard for Mrs. Jaffrey after school: I will not wear my coat to class because someone might mistake me for a bear and shoot me. I will not wear my coat to class because I might sweat so much the class will flood, and somebody might drown. I will not wear my coat to class because I might get so hot, I’ll catch fire and burn the whole Junior High down. That kind of thing. It was more than five hundred words. I thought it was pretty creative. Mrs. Jaffrey didn’t think so, though. Neither did my old man. Next day, he showed up outside Mrs. Jaffrey’s class with my essay in his hand. Checked me out of school. Told me to put on my coat. “It’s in the principal’s office,” I told him “Leave it then,” he said. It was cold outside. Ice coated the trees, the rooftops of houses, the windshields of cars parked along the curbs, the sidewalks, the streets. The old man drove too fast, dodging fallen tree limbs in the road, his pickup truck sliding all over, down to Pecan Park. He told me to get out. Told me to open the tailgate. Told me to bend over and read each sentence, one at a time. There was a new two-by-four in the bed of the truck. The wood was white. He picked it up, stood behind me. I read a sentence, and then he hit me one. Then I read another sentence. He hit me again, there were a hundred sentences. He kept hitting me. The wind blew up hard and it started to sleet, and all around the park tree limbs groaned and cracked and snapped off. I didn’t have my coat on. I was cold. Ice fell all around me. The Coat by Lex Wilford

The Story of Cam and Tam Kyle Ellington 1Once upon a time, a widowed man lived in a small kingdom and cared for his kind daughter, Tam, by himself. Eventually, the man remarried, but his new wife was cruel to Tam. Tam’s life worsened when a baby girl, Cam, was born. Tam’s father and stepmother showered Cam with everything she desired, leaving Tam to live a desolate, lonely life. She cleaned the house, cooked the food, hauled the trash, and collected the water. 2One day, Tam’s stepmother sent her and Cam to collect fish. Though they were half sisters, Tam and Cam had contrasting personalities. Tam fished continuously until her basket overflowed with fish, while Cam lazily lounged in the sun. Upon realizing that she had no fish to take home, Cam decided to steal Tam’s fish. When Tam wasn’t looking, Cam poured Tam’s fish into her own basket, snickered, and fled home. 3Tam wept when she saw the empty basket because she knew that punishment awaited her; however, she stopped crying abruptly when a beautiful woman appeared. The woman grinned sweetly and told Tam not to weep. 4“Your misfortunes will be over soon, Tam. Inside your basket, you will find one fish. Take it home and care for it,” said the woman. 5Tam put the fish in the well behind her house. Each time Tam neared the well, the fish surfaced, which made Tam very happy. One day, because Tam's stepmother despised Tam’s happiness, she removed the fish from the well and returned it to the river. The next time Tam visited the well, the fish did not surface. Tam instantly knew what had occurred and wept. Once again, the beautiful woman appeared. She instructed Tam to visit the fish at the edge of the river whenever she needed help. 6A few weeks later, the Autumn Festival began, and Tam’s town erupted with activity. Tam planned to attend the festival, but her stepmother wrote a list of many chores for her to complete. Saddened, Tam visited the water's edge and asked for help. In a moment, the beautiful woman appeared before Tam and instantly transformed Tam's shabby clothes into a stunning blue and silver dress. 7Tam raced to festival, where she earned praise as the most beautiful woman in attendance. Tam shimmered like a star in the glowing gown, but having everyone's eyes on her made her self-conscious, and she ran away. In her haste, she lost a shoe on the staircase. 8Later, the Prince discovered Tam’s lost shoe. He had seen Tam at the festival and hoped to marry her. He traveled the kingdom seeking the woman whose foot fit the shoe. When the Prince arrived at Tam’s house, she tried on the shoe and it fit! The Prince was jubilant and asked Tam to marry him. Eventually, the Prince became King, and Tam became Queen. Though Tam never took revenge on her family members, they lived in agony knowing that if they had been kinder, they could have lived with Tam and the King.
