Bush, our 43rd President, left the White House, he wanted to try something very different.Now he is using his new talent for portrait painting to honor the men and women who have served in our military. “President and Painter” (pages 16–17) is an inspiring reminder of the sacrifice and courage of veterans.This story also shows us that it’s important to try new things. The world offers so many interesting paths to explore that we can keep growing and learning all our lives. That’s what I hope to do. Someday, I want to learn how to draw or paint. I’d also like to learn to speak Spanish fluently. I’d even like to learn how to raise a baby goat! Wouldn’t that be fun?Are you open to an adventure in learning? I hope you’ll write and tell me what’s on your list of new things to try. I can’t wait to hear from you.Your friend,This magazine of wholesome funis dedicated to helping children grow in basicskillsandknowledge,increativeness,in ability tothinkandreason,insensitivityto others in high,ideals and worthy ways of living—forchildren are the world s most important people’.Portrait photo courtesy of the George W Bush Presidential Center..George W Bush s portrait .’of Sergeant First Class Ramon Padilla.

MYSCPhoto by Jeff MauritzenIsland HomeUnlike most mockingbirds the ,Galápagos guh LAH puh gus (---)mockingbird doesn t mock ’ “,”or imitate other birds Found ,.only in the Galápagos Islands ,off the coast of Ecuador in South America this is the most ,common of the islands four ’native mockingbird species It is .at home in many of the islands ’dry coastal and forest habitats,,.Galápagos mockingbirds usually live in pairs or small groups but may live in groups of 20 or more .Each group defends its territory .Parents may get help raising their nestlings often from their young ,of a previous brood.When it eats fruit ,the seeds are left in its droppings.That spreads the seeds across the bird s habitat’.It builds a nest of twigs or thorns in a tree or cactus ,lining the inside with soft plant material.Weighing less than a tennis ball ,the Galápagos mockingbird flies well but it often —runs instead.Powdery pollen shows that this bird was poking into the cactus flower likely ,going after nectar or an insect.With its long beak it eats ,foods such as centipedes ,cactus fruit and nectar ,and ticks it removes from iguanas.That steam you see rising from hot foods shows that heated water is escaping into the air.Almost all our foods contain water We usually think of water .in its liquid form But like other .,substances it can take the form of a ,solid liquid or gas Water freezes to ,,.form a solid ice and evaporates ()to form a gas water vapor().Water evaporates around us all the time without our noticing it ,such as when spilled water dries up.When we heat a food we raise ,its temperature along with the ,temperature of the water it contains .As more and more of the heated water molecules change from liquid form to gas the heated water vapor ,escapes from the food.Then as it hits cooler air the ,,water vapor turns back into tiny liquid water droplets in the air We .see this condensation as steam“”.Why does food steam when it is hot?Joseph Imgrund Age 9 Illinois•12 NOVEMBER 2019

The Case of theBy Marne Ventura•Art by Gaia BordicchiaEvan sat in his backyardclubhouse. It was a chillySaturday morning in November. At the same time each week, Evan’s Detective Agencyopened for business. He helped neighbors solve mysteries.“Help! Molly’s gone!” Someone pounded on the door.Evan jumped to open it.His next-door neighbor James rushed in and paced aroundthe room. Tears ran down hischeeks. He was still wearingpajamas. His hair stuck up. His boots were muddy.Evan pulled out a chair.James sat down and put hishead on the table. “Someonemust have stolen her,” he said.Evan patted James on theback. “Calm down, James. There might be another explanation.”James looked up hopefully.“Do you think you can find her?”Evan picked up a penciland his notebook. “I’ll need a complete description.”“She’s a turtle. You’ve seen her before, Evan.”“Color? Size? Did you notice any special markings?”“Olive green. With black lines.Really pretty. Her shell is thislong.” James held up his hands.About six inches,Evan wrote. “What else?”“Her neck is pale yellow.”James began to cry. “What if a raccoon took her?”“Take a breath, James.” Evangave James a tissue. “How longhave you had Molly? Where did you get her?”“She showed up one day lastspring. She likes our lily pond.”Evan wrote more notes.“I check on her every morning. She’s very shy. She divesunderwater when she hears me.”James sobbed. “What if a coyote got her?”Evan jotted down more notes.“Let’s go to the pond. Show mewhere Molly was before she disappeared.”James followed Evan to the backyard.“She likes to sit on that rockin the sun,” said James, pointing. “She stretches out her neck and smiles.”Evan scribbled in hisnotebook. “Was she on the rock the last time you saw her?”“Yes, she’s there everymorning, as soon as the sun isup. But she was not there today! What if she’s sick?”Evan lifted a lily pad to see ifMolly was underwater. No turtle, “She s’there everymorning.But nottoday!”Missing Turtle“Someone musthave stolen her.”20 NOVEMBER 2019

just the reflection of the clouds that covered the sun. He added this information to his notebook. “I’ve found some good clues,” he told James. “I need to check some facts online. Meet me in my office in 30 minutes.”Evan hurried home and asked his mom if he could borrow her laptop. He opened the browser and typed turtles in Northern California. He clicked on images. He found a photograph that matched James’s description. It was on a website written byscientists who study turtles.He found more facts on azoo website. He printed twopictures of turtles and a page ofinformation and brought themto his clubhouse. He pinnedhis notes and printouts to theevidence board. He studiedthe information. He tappedhis pencil against the tableas he thought.James showed up early, butEvan was ready. “Did you find Molly?” James asked. He was no longer wearing pajamas.“Not exactly,” said Evan, “but I know where she is.”“Is she OK?”Evan pointed to the papers on the wall. “Let’s look at the clues. First, I think I know why Molly likes your pond.”“Why?”“Molly is probably a Western Pond Turtle.”“That makes sense.”“I also know why she stopped sunning herself on the rock.”“Raccoon? Coyote? She’s sick?” A tear ran down James’s cheek.“James, think about the weather lately.”“It’s colder?” James sniffed.Evan nodded. “What do some animals do when it’s colder?”James thought. “Bears hibernate. Ducks fly south.”“You’re on the right track,” said Evan.“Molly flew south?”“Not south,” said Evan. “And, of course, she didn’t fly. It’s possible Molly is spending the winter in the mud at the bottom of the pond.”“So she’s not gone?”“I believe your turtle will come out in the spring,” said Evan. “But you might not want to call it Molly anymore.”James opened his eyes wide. “Someone switched Molly with a different turtle?”Evan pointed to the wall. “Which picture looks more like your turtle?”James pointed to the one with the pale yellow neck. Its shell was shorter from top to bottom. Its tail was thicker and longer than the other turtle’s tail. Its head was bigger.“That’s a male Western Pond Turtle, James,” said Evan. “So maybe your turtle needs a different name!”“Let s look at ’the clues.”“Which picture looks more like your turtle?”

Patience “How did you get to be so strong?”Sahana flopped onto the floor. “I’ll never be as flexible as you are, Dadiji.”Sahana’s grandmother had been bending and coiling her body for more than 50 years. She could stand on her hands and pull her body into a ball.“Sahana, your name means ‘patience.’ You need patience for yoga,” said Dadiji.Like many schools in India, Sahana’s school was holding a yoga contest. Sahana wanted to make Dadiji proud. But she could barely stand on one leg.Dadiji returned to the kitchen. Sahana kept practicing. She stood straight, arms frog. The pose made her thighs hurt at her sides. Mountain pose. Standing still isn’t that hard, she thought. She moved to her hands and knees and arched her back. Cat pose.These are easy, Sahana thought. The competition will be harder.She lay on her belly and pushed up on her hands. Cobra pose. Her arms soon got tired and she sank to the floor.She wandered into the kitchen.“Finished already?” asked Dadiji.“It’s hard,” Sahana said. “How did you get to be so strong?”Dadiji smiled. “Patience.”The next morning, Sahana was a By Annette GulatiArt by Nabigal Nayagam Haider Ali-Sahana wanted to make Dadiji proud But she could barely .stand on one leg.to Pose32 NOVEMBER 2019

She heard Dadiji s voice ’in her head .Patience.and she wanted to stop. Then she remembered her grandmother’s words. She took a deep breath and held the pose longer.Sahana practiced a new pose every day. But first, she went through the poses she had practiced the days before. She started to feel stronger. Her arms and legs stopped wiggling.The day of the yoga contest arrived.On the bus, Sahana’s stomach whirled like a summer monsoon. What if I can’t hold any poses?When the bus stopped at school, she ran to the gym. Her heart thumped.Families arrived. But Dadiji wasn’t in the audience. Dadiji has to see what I’ve learned, Sahana thought.“It is time to begin,” said their teacher. “Your first pose will be Eagle.”Sahana curled her left leg around her right leg. She bent her arms, winding one around the other. Focus.“Triangle pose.”Sahana stood with her legs apart and arms at her sides. She slowly bent to the right. She heard Dadiji’s voice in her head. Patience.Camel pose. Bridge pose. Bow pose.“Your last pose is the Wheel,” said their teacher.Sahana lay on her back with her knees bent. She took a deep breath and placed her hands on the floor behind her. She pushed as hard as she could to raise her stomach toward the ceiling. A few more seconds. But her arms felt soft and wiggly. Sahana sank to her mat. She would not win the contest.I messed up, Sahana thought. Dadiji would be disappointed. Maybe she’s not here. She glanced at the audience.Dadiji stood near the doorway, and she was smiling. Sahana immediately felt better.“Thank you, children,” said their teacher. It was the end of the program.The audience cheered wildly.“I didn’t know you could do all those poses,” Dadiji said when Sahana walked over to her. “I’m proud of you.”“I worked on being patient, like you taught me.” Sahana balanced on one foot and put her other foot on her thigh. With hands together, she lifted her arms into the air. Tree pose. “I will grow stronger every day.”What if I can t hold any poses’?

The Brave KnightBy Oz Spies Art by Deborah Allwright•The Brave Knight had neverrescued anyone. He was afraid of the dark. His stomachflip-flopped when his horsegalloped over the drawbridgethat led across the river to the fields beyond.The Brave Knight was not so sure he was brave.“Youmustbe brave,”exclaimed the people in thekingdom. “You are the only one who’s ever met the dragon!”But the Brave Knight knew the truth.A year ago, on a sunny day,he left the castle. The castle was built on a mountain. Heclimbed the rocky cliffs anddiscovered the dragon’s cave.He caught a glimpse of thedragon’s huge body. Loud snorescame from the sleeping giant.The Brave Knight shook.And he scrambled back down the mountain as fast as he could go.He wasn’t brave. He wasafraid of the dragon, just as everyone else was.Then, one day,something awful happened.The Brave Knightwas not so sure he was brave.One day the,drawbridge fellinto the river.

The drawbridge fell into theriver. The bridge was the onlyway to reach the lands on theother side. Those fields supplied all of the castle’s food.No one knew what to do.“I have an idea!” said theking. “I’ll use my canoe.” He putthe canoe into the river. But thecanoe leaked. The princess hadto throw a rope to the king to rescue him.The king tried to use a ladderto cross the river. But the ladder was too short, and it crashed into the water.After a week without adrawbridge, the kingdom was in trouble.“The only food left is two jarsof my famous pickles and theprincess’s applesauce!” said the king’s cook.The Brave Knight thought.He knew of something thatcould reach across the river.He gulped. “Wait here,” he told everyone.He needed a peace offering.I hope this will do,he thought, taking a jar of the cook’s delicious pickles.He climbed the mountain. Hisstomach flip-flopped. He tiptoed to the cave.The dragon was awake. Helooked directly at the knight and opened his mouth wide. The Brave Knight trembled.CRUNCH!The Brave Knight couldn’tbelieve his eyes. The dragon was chewing on a tree branch.The dragon burped.“So, you’renota people eater!” whispered the Brave Knight.“Here, try this.” The BraveKnight took out one pickle and placed it on the ground.The dragon ate it. He ateanother. The Brave Knightpetted the dragon’s bumpy skin.The beast gave him a slimy lick on the cheek.“We need your help,” said theBrave Knight. “Will you come with me?”The Brave Knight climbedback down the mountain. The dragon followed him.When they entered the castlegardens, people screamed. Theother knights mounted theirhorses. “Be gone, beast!” shouted the king.“Wait! He can help!” said the Brave Knight.The Brave Knight held out a pickle for the dragon. Hewhispered into the dragon’s ear, “Can you be our bridge?”The dragon bobbed his scalyhead. He stretched all the way across the river, where the drawbridge used to be.The Brave Knight climbed upon the dragon’s tail and walkedalong the dragon’s back. “Thank you,” he said.When he returned from theother side of the river carrying food, the people cheered.Then they all crossed theriver. First the king and thenthe rest. They all returnedto the castle with more food.That evening, the king’s cook made a feast.The Brave Knight sat withthe dragon, feeding him picklesone by one.Maybe,he thought,Iam a little bit brave after all.C“Wait The dragon !can help!”R U N C H !

AskizonaCeramics-ClassBy Lissa RovetchArt by Amanda MorleyDear Giving Up,I know exactly how it feelsto be disappointed with the waysomething turns out.Last month, my grandparentsplanned a visit around the timeof their wedding anniversary. Idecided to make them a specialpresent in my ceramics class.After spending forever sketchingout the design, I spent evenlonger trying to form the designout of clay.“I like your heart,” my friendMiley said.“Thanks,” I said. “It’s apresent for my grandparents.”She leaned over my shoulderand read the carefully engravedwords: “Together Forever.Happy 35th Anniversary,Poppy and Gran!”“I keep working and working,but I just can’t make it lookright,” I said with a sigh.“I know what you mean,” saidMiley. “I keep trying to get myelephant’s trunk right, but it’srefusing to cooperate.”“Aww, I think the trunk isfantastic!” I said.We had to wait until the next class for our creations to dry and get fired in the kiln. Then we painted on the glaze and had to wait again for the second firing. Finally, our pieces were ready to take home.“Yes! Mine came out awesome!” said this kid named Jake. He grabbed the tray off the shelf. CRASH! His mug, Miley’s elephant, and my heart shattered all over the floor.“My elephant lost her trunk!” Miley shrieked.“My piece is ruined too,” I said. “A broken heart doesn’t exactly make the best anniversary gift.”“And that,” our teacher, Rick, said to Jake, “is the reason our slow-down rule is so important.”“I’m sorry!” Jake said to Miley and me. “Really, really sorry!”“All is not lost,” said Rick. “Bring everything over to the repair station. Let’s see what we can do with some magic glue.”At first, the whole situation seemed kind of unfair. The magic “A broken heart doesn t exactly ’make the best anniversary gift.”CRASH!Success40 NOVEMBER 2019

glue worked only on Jake’s mug. The elephant trunk and heart were in too many broken bits to put back together. Luckily, Miley had a whole different way of looking at things.“You know,” she said, “now that my elephant has a short nose instead of a trunk, it looks kind of like a puppy with big floppy ears. I think I’ll call it my doglephant!”I laughed. “That’s the cutest doglephant I’ve ever seen!”“I’m guessing it’s the only doglephant you’ve ever seen,” she said, giggling. “But I’ll take that as a compliment anyway.”“It’s so cool how you just turned that accident around into something happy. I wish I could do that with this pile of pieces.”“Well, my dad is an artist. He always says creativity is messy and mistakes are happy accidents,” said Miley. She looked at the pieces of my heart. “If only the edges weren’t so messed up, you’d be able to fit these back together like a puzzle.”And right then, I knew what to do. About a month ago, we learned how to use mini tiles and muddy stuff called grout to make mosaics. I asked Rick if I could make one by using the pieces of my broken heart.“Excellent idea,” said Rick. He found a base I could glue the pieces onto, and he helped me mix the grout.When it was all done, Miley said, “That turned out great! You can still read the words and everything.”“It is pretty cool,” I said with a smile. “Thank you for helping me come up with the idea.”So, dear Giving Up, you should definitely NOT give up. My present didn’t turn out at all the way I’d planned. It turned out even better! My grandparents use my mosaic as their favorite trivet.Next time you feel disappointed that your art doesn’t look the way you’d like, remember what Miley’s dad says: creativity is messy. See if there’s some way to turn your “mistake” into a “happy accident.”Ciao for now,ArizonaAnd right then ,I knew what to do.“My dad always says creativity is messy.” NOVEMBER 2019 41
