The Haunted Treeby Kelly Hashway
Mark turned the corner and
stared at the empty bus stop. He
swallowed hard and his hands started to
shake. Being the first one there wouldn’t
be a problem if the old oak tree that
marked the bus stop wasn’t haunted.
“Where is everyone?” Mark
whispered.
The sun wasn’t quite up yet, and the darkness was making the oak tree look
scarier than usual. The tree was the gathering place for the bus stop. All the kids stood by
it and talked while they waited for Mr. Meyers to drive up and take them to school. When
other kids were around, the bus stop wasn’t so scary. But Mark was alone, and it was
dark.
The oak tree’s branches swayed in the breeze, and Mark heard the strange
“Ooooh” that sometimes came from the center of the tree.
Mark hurried to the other side of the street, trying to stay as far away from the tree
as possible. He didn’t take his eyes off the tree. The bare branches looked like they were
reaching out to grab him. He heard the “Ooooh, ooooh” again.
“I’m not afraid of you,” Mark called in a shaky voice.

“Who are you talking to?” Will asked, walking up behind Mark.
Mark jumped. He turned to face Will and relaxed a little now that he wasn’t alone
with the tree. Will stared at him, waiting for an answer.
“I thought I heard something.” Mark shrugged and crossed the street, heading for
the bus stop. Will followed.
“Maybe you heard the ghost in the tree,” Will said.
“Oooh, oooh.”
Mark and Will jumped.
Something moved across the hollowed out spot in the tree.
“There’s something in the tree,” Mark said. He stood on tiptoes and peeked inside.
“It’s an owl!”
“An owl? That’s what’s making that strange noise?”
Will asked.
“Maybe it’s hurt,” Mark said. “Let’s tell Mrs. Abrams
about it when we get to school. She knows a lot about
nocturnal animals.”
“I guess there’s nothing to be scared of now,” Will
said.
“I’m still pretty scared of the math test we have
today,” Mark said.

Monarch Butterflies:Beautiful But Poisonous
by Kelly Hashway
If you’ve ever seen a monarch butterfly, then
you’ve probably noticed their bright orange and black
colors. It makes them easy to see in the sky. You may
think this would put the Monarch in harm from
predators, but these bright colors are actually what
protect the butterfly. Monarchs eat a plant called
milkweed, which is why they are sometimes called
“milkweed butterflies.” Milkweed contains toxins that are not poisonous to Monarchs but are
poisonous to other living things. These toxins that are a regular part of the Monarch butterfly’s
diet make them poisonous to predators. A bird flying through the sky will leave the flashy
colored Monarch alone because it knows those bright colors mean the Monarch is poisonous.
Monarch butterflies actually begin eating milkweed as larvae. As you probably know,
butterflies begin as caterpillars. Monarch butterflies lay eggs on milkweed plants, and when an
egg hatches, the young caterpillar, or
larva, begins to eat the milkweed. The
caterpillar will eat the plant for about two
weeks and grow to approximately two
inches long. The caterpillar will then spin a
silk pad and attach itself upside-down to
a twig or leaf. Next it sheds its yellow,
black, and white striped skin. This is the
first step in the caterpillar’s transformation
to a butterfly.
Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com
Underneath the old skin of the caterpillar is a hard
layer of skin called a chrysalis. The caterpillar will keep this
chrysalis, or pupa, around its body and stay inside it for
two weeks while it changes into a Monarch butterfly. The
chrysalis will become transparent when the butterfly is
ready to emerge. The Monarch uses the blood in its body
to inflate its wings. Then it will hang in that same spot for
hours until its wings dry and it can fly.
Monarch butterflies can live for very different
lengths of time depending on what time of year they
emerge from their chrysalis and become adult butterflies.
If a Monarch reaches adulthood in early summer, it will
most likely live for only two to five weeks. But if the
Monarch becomes an adult at the end of the summer
months, it will migrate south and live for about eight to nine months.
Monarchs can be found all over the world in tropic and sub-tropic areas. And if you’d
like to observe them in your own yard, plant milkweed and wait for the Monarchs to come for
a feast.
