A Horse That Ate Jellybeans

Another limerick poem

There once was a horse
He ate jellybeans of course
He juggled and sang
With his friend Lang
Until the doorbell rang

This is just a little background on two famous explorers from history. this part is about Zeng He. Zeng He was born in southern China.His father was killed in battle. Zeng He bacame friends with a prince who became an emporer. The emporer wanted to show Chinese power to the world. The emporer sent a fleet of ships to trade with other countries. He put Zeng He in charge of the fleet. He made seven major voyages around the world. He brought back many things such as a live giraffe! When he first started his seven major voyages it was 1405 it took him about 28 years to complete his journeys.
This part is about Marco Polo. Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy. He was only 17 as he traveled on his long journey with his father and uncle. They were merchants looking for trading goods from China. It was 1271 when he traveled the long and dangerous Silk Road. He, his father, and his uncle became friends of Kublai Kahn.

A Silly Dog

This is a limerick poem that I wrote for school.
Once upon a time
A dog ate a lime
He danced around
He pranced around
And started to fight crime!

Viking Children

This is just a little article that I wrote about viking children in school. Viking children had a very interesting life. The children ate butter, cheese, bread, and smoked fish. The bread was made in a clay oven. The children helped grind the flour in the longhouse using a hand quern. Weddings, funerals, and religious festivals were celebrated with a big feast. Some feasts lasted for weeks!
Their clothes were clothes that an adult didn't need anymore. Their clothes were made from wool and linen. It takes a couple hours to make one piece of cloth. The children took a bath every Saturday. Their transportation was walking and sailing on a boat.
The children didn't go to school. Instead they helped their parents at work. Children became adults at the age of 15 or 16. Young boys were often sent away to live with a foster family for a few years. A girls father usually chooses her future husband.
The children and their families all lived in a longhouse together. The longhouse only has one room. There is a fire in the middle of the room and a hole in the roof to let the smoke out. They cover the top of the roof with a turf to keep the heat in the winter. That was my story, I hope you enjoyed it!
