'What a week 1' te the theme

I. By ANDY LIBERTI Syracuse School Sixth Grader It s January 13, 2011, at 10:07 a.m. My dog Scruffy (alias Mighty Dog) and I are walking down the street. “Yuck! Look at all this trash, Scruffy. We have to do something about it,” I said. “People are dying because of all this trash! I have to stop it!” Back in the laboratory, Mighty Dog and I were making an invention. “I’ve done it. I just built a garbage eating fuel making machine!” I went down to the sheriff’s office to ask him if I could use it to make the city clean a,gain, like it was in 1986. The Sheriff -satd,“ Are you kidding-?- Last time you had an invention the whole town was in the dark for a week!” “This is my greatest invention,” I said. A •» "Okay, try it,” The Sheriff said. The machine eats the garbage, then it comes out tubes into gas space ships. It looks like a mechanical dog. I took the mechanical dog out of the laboratory. The city started to look normal again. We had only one problem. Every gas ship on earth was filled up. Then-I thought. “What way can I clean up garbage without using it for fuel?" “L’ve got it!" I yelled, "I'll burn it for heat! But how will I

That got too hot so I had to find another way to get rid of garbage. “I’ll recycle it and put it in warehouses. Like, to make cans or something,” I got a big vacuum and sucked up some of the trash.

Finally all of the planet was clean just like it was in 1986.1 really forgot how pretty it was, but the trees were all gone so we couldn’t live there long, because we wouldn’t have any oxygen. I thought that was the big problem, but another one came about. I was going crazy I could just dig myself into the ground, because of all the little specks of trash. The vacuum couldn’t clean them up though. “That’s it! I’ll dig the trash for fertilizer.” In two days everything was colorful again. There were trees and flowers.
