How to Train your Viking - by Abigail Zachko


Colonial Williamsburg Day 3, originally uploaded by szachko.
There once was a teacher named Sophie. She teaches young vikings how to be a grown up one. Sophie has brown hair with light brown high lighting, brown eyes, a big viking helmets, fuzzy brown pants and a dark green shirt.

Sophie was a good teacher. She would show her students how to through an ax. She would even tell them how to pick the off the ground. But there was one student that Sophie couldn't handle. Big Tooth.

Big Tooth had one giant buck tooth, a cut off left hand, (it was all wroped up so no one could see it), weird helmet with one horn a lot bigger than the other light green shirt, right leg cut off, (also wraped) brown fuzzy pants and short brown hair.

Big Tooth was horibble at everything.  He couldn't pick up a hammer (made out of only wood), he only ate beans, he only drank mile, he need help with absolutely nothing, well, at least Big Tooth says that.


"What am I going to do with him?"  Sophie said to herself.  She saw some beans and milk sitting on the table and that gave her an idea.

The next morning Sophie put up signs on Big Tooth's saying "Privet classes for Big Tooth at Sat., Sun., Mon., Tu., Thurs. (3:00-3:55)."  Big Tooth saw the poster.  It was Saturday.  Big Tooth got to Sophie's private class at 3:05.  He was only 5 minutes late.  (Who cares)  Sophie said to Big Tooth.  There are beans inside of this door."  Sophie pointed to the door.  "And milk inside the door too.  But..."

Gulp.  Big Tooth had a worried look on his face.

Sophie resumed speaking, "There is a dragon in there, too."

Big Tooth ran out the door with his arms spread out behind him.  "AHHHHHH!!"

"See you tomorrow" Sophie said hopelessly.

On Thursday, Sophie went over the same thing.  This time Big Tooth looked ready.  "are you OK?" Sophie said

"I'm fine.  I just did a little practicing with my daddy."

"Ok" Sophie said opening the door.  A massive dragon came out.  It had read scales, a tail as sharp as a knife and flaming red eyes.  ROAR!! He blew fire everywhere.

Big Tooth dauged every thing the dragon blew.  " I want my beans."  He said as he was getting closer to the door.  Finally, he got to the door.  The door close on him.  Slam!  Sophie went to open the door and put the dragon in another room.  Then she opened the door for Big Tooth.  She found him drinking his milk and a[n] empty plate next to him.

"You did great!"  Sophie said after a moment of silence.

Slurp.

The next day, the private lessons were over and Big Tooth did great at his regular lessons.  Even X-a a very strong girl who was top of the class congratulated him.

As the years went on, Big Tooth got better and better.  In fact, he was the 2nd best wiking in the world.  (The first was Sophie).
