The Circle of Love by Brittany The fireman found the kente’ and put it in his pocket for his daughter. She put the kente’ on her doll and it came alive. Her doll came alive. She told the little girl what her life was all about and how important she was. She said, "Your life is more important than anything in this world." "It does not matter what color you are but what does matter is what is in your head and your heart." "Always love your Mom and Dad," the doll said. "When you have a lot of money you can have a lot of stuff but it does not make you happy." |

The Fireman and the Kente’ by Brandon P A fireman named Michael had just put out a fire. On the ground he saw a piece of material. It was red, yellow, green and pink. He thought his daughter, Laura, might be able to use it. She loved making clothes for her baby doll. He took it home and gave it to Laura. She went into her room to begin making doll clothes. Suddenly she heard a loud noise outside. She grabbed the cloth and ran outside. A little boy named Jonathan was shooting a tree. The bullet had hit the tree and bounced back and hit him in his leg.
