"Penny-Bicycle"
Rachel S. Flynn, 8th Grade,

Saint Peter's Interparish School, Washington, D.C.

Today was my tenth birthday and my parents bought me a brand-spanky-new penny bicycle. It's a burgundy red with chrome spokes and handlebars. The tires are pink rubber. The pedals are nicely greased, so I can go real fast. I decided to show all my friends my penny-bicycle. Since it was Sunday I knew they were at the park playing marbles, so I went inside to get my lucky marble, "Bertha."

I headed down the street and decided to take the long way so I could get to know my bicycle and test it out. I think I'm on "Cloud 9" when the wind blows through my hair and I get goose bumps all over from the wind blowing against me. I love my new bicycle because it lets me be free and go where I want to go.

Soon, I got to the park where my friends were just finishing a round of marbles. I joined them with my lucky marble, "Bertha," and played until the rain started to come down and I headed home.
