The baby seal looked like a bootiful white ball of fur. It made a muvment
toward its mother. Its mother will continu to feed it milk for twelve days. Seals eat
small fish and shrimp, not big fish, like the toona. Soon the whole communeity of
seals will swim north. It makes me sad and glumy, to say goodbye to the baby

What a shocking dream I had! I saw the world in the future. Garbage was piled
so high I had to use a brigde to get from one side of town to the other. The air
was so dirty that the laundry on a closeline actually turned black. I got caught
amung thousands of cars in a gigantic traffic jam, with thousands of horns
honking. The clattur was so unbearable that I covered my ears to block the noise.
The rivers and lakes were so polluted that a person would have to be very dairing
or crazyto go swimming. I was glad when I finally woke up in my room. I
hope that the future world will not be like this, as some people clame it may be.

Leah was my best friend. I got a letter from her last month. She told me
about the speshal way she saved her familys farm. I wish I could have seen the
expression on the auctioneers face when Leah offered him one dollar for her
fathers tractor!
We lost our farm in the sprinktime, and then we moved to Oregon. I havent
seen Leah in a year. Whenever I have a few spair pennies for a stamp, I write to
her.
Life has been difficult for farm families everywhere because of the drought.
We had to be as thirfty as we could. We thruw nothing away, not even empty
flour sacks. My mama used the material to make clothes for my sister and me.
She could even make a pot of soup strech for three or four meals. Times were
difficult, but they will get better.

During World War II, my family and many hundreds of other JapaneseAmerican families from cityes and towns everywhere were forced to live in
government camps. We were guarded by soldjers. It was a difficult time for all of
us. It helped to pass the time by playing baseball. First we had to make a
baseball field. We used shovles to clear away plants to make a space for the
field. Then we packed down the dust and made it hard. Some men found wood
for bleachers. Our mothers used the covers from mattressies to make uniformes
for us. Our friends back home sent us bats, balls, and gloves. I was really
nervous during the first game. I wasnt a very good player and didnt want to
make any misteaks. Guess what? I hit a home run!

Did you know that Choctaw is an endangered Native American langauge?
It is only spokin by 12,000 people, today. An organization working to keep alive
Choctaw and other Native American languages prins books and makes records
available for people to use. In histry class we are learning Choctaw words and
phrases. One of the girls is a member of the Choctaw trieb. She and her relitives
speak Choctaw at home. Some of us would like to study Choctaw. I know it will
take a lot of practice because it is so different from English.

My uncle has always enjoyed working with wood. He says it gives him time
to be quiet and thotfull. I like to wach him while he works. He likes to witle small
birds and forest animals from pieces of wood that he finds on his hikes. His
favorite wood to use is bersh. He uses sandpaper to make the wood smooth, so
it won't skracth him. Then he carefully uses a knife to make the shape of the
animal. The first time I saw a piece of wood shanjed into a real-looking rabbit, I

Dear Seth,
Last week I went whale watching. The humpback whales were so beautiful.
It makes me so sad to think that one day whales may disapere. I think it is
unkinde for people to hunt them. There is an internatunal law against killing
whales. Some nations think whaling is not harmful, but I disagrea. Experts say
that it is uncertin if all whale species will survive. In the past, whales have been
unluky. Today, people all over the world are trying to save them.
