SNAPPING TURTLE OUT OF CONTROL
On October 17, 2015, there was a turtle, and he was very mad. He started snapping at people and bugs. A girl was sitting at a pond in her backyard, and a turtle popped out of the water. She saw it snap at a bug; it was a mosquito. Then a few seconds later, it snapped at another bug. It was a flea. Then the turtle snapped again; this time at the little girl. The turtle got the mosquito, the flea, but it did not get the girl. The turtle has yet to be caught by authorities.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Movie Review
In the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the main character, Jack Skellington, King of Halloweentown, finds Christmas Town, but he doesn't quite understand the idea. In Christmas Town, he sees snow, and little children everywhere. He sees lights, decorated trees, and great big bags filled with toys. Christmas Town is a very jolly place, but Jack isn't used to being nice all the time. But he likes the idea of it. He tries to change Halloweentown, but it doesn't work out too well.
