Dear Diary,

Today was an amazing day I took my flight to Egypt and immediately started to dig for some artifacts! This all happened because two weeks ago, I had received a phone call from dr. remove and he said that they found a map of wonderful treasures like King Tukniumitsanimi’s gold right beside a busy market street. Once I started digging, my colleagues and I asked for the map we looked at it very well and started to dig 8 meters in the hot dessert then I finally saw something it looked like it was made out of straw. At least the hole was big enough to fit the three of us we started to dust the sand around and then we dug up something. It was like a poster but made out of straw and it had pictures of a tall man and the sun shining down on him with two slaves on either sides of him. According to legend this is a picture of Pharaoh Aton, being raised up into the sky where the gods have waited for him, for centuries. Pharaoh was the ruler of all Egypt for years; some people even say that he was the best Pharaoh who ruled Egypt. The hieroglyphics say that he lived a wonderful life and that he died at the age of 207. Pharaoh died when he was taking a night walk and that a sand storm gulped him up. Legend says that it was a way of the gods taking him peacefully. It was a good way of dying like this because the legend said the grains are people and they praise him and then the grains sprinkle a potion that put you to sleep and lets you go to the gods much more easily.
Like I said today was an awesome day!

Dear Jesus,

Today I saw the most beautiful thing ever I saw the sun was setting and in the front of the big orange star, there was a tree branch that looked like a cross and then it looked at it and it was so amazing and wonderful, I saw so many things that amazed me I feel so awesome just seeing these wonderful things. I also saw something cool because I passed by ambleside and in the squiggly lines in the middle was birds in the distance formed like a smile, sent from above! And now that was exordinare! I love all these thing that I see they are so amazing I can just fall in love with them because there are so lovely. The last amazing thing that I saw in my life is when we went for a walk-a-thon and the earth was just waking up but when the earth wakes up it is so beautiful especially when the fresh dew fall has fallen and in the morning it is sunny yet cold and also beautiful. Because the sun is trying to shine thought the trees and through the little patches of free land the sun shines thought it looks so beautiful. It looks like this because the light also hits the dew drops and it sparkles it just looks like God was there walking beside me! That is the end and it is around 252 words.
