I am a farmer and my name is Cloraine Smith.I am traveling to Xian to sell my fathers corn.I am traveling there with my little cousin "Tommy".Tommy is 6 years old.I am taking him with me to help sell my fathers corn.When I am there I am going to visit some markets to explorer what they have there to buy and sell.My father asked me to do this for him to help him get some money for our family!My father is also a farmer.As I am taveling to Xian I am going to take my great great grandmothers cache.A cache is a little bank that you can hold money in.That cache is very very special to me,it is special to me because my grandmother gave it to me a couple years ago and she passed away.When I get to Xian I am going to explorer all the kinds of food they have there so maybe I can trade or sell them my fathers corn for there goods.This is a very important trip to my father and he wants to make sure we are doing a good job so he gave us an old time country phone to communicate with.He checks up on Tommy and I to see what all we sold or bartered!As I was wandering around the country Xian to find a restaraunt to search for some goods to barter or sell,I came apon this restaraunt called Zambothery Diner.As I walked in to that resaraunt I saw this tasty looking food that I could buy.I am going to barter my fathers corn for that tasty looking food.The food was called Scattish.I bartered some of my fathers corn for some scattish.

Tommy and I just arrived at Smarkand.We are looking for some farmers that would like to buy or barter my mama's squash.But then I came apon this wealthy looking gal.I had asked the nice wealthy gal if she would like to try some of my mothers delicious squash.'She said no ma'am'.'I said beg my parden'.She said im sorry but I dont have the money.But you look wealthy to me.Yes I do indeed but this is all from my grandmother Delighla.Oh I sighed.But the nice wealthy gal asked if I would like to trade her something for my mama's squash.I asked what do you have to trade me.She said I have some of my left over gardafraines.I said sure ill see what that is.So I took some of the nice gals gardafraines to take home to my family.After Tommy and I got done with that, we headed to a flower shop.It was called'Flowers All Around'.Tommy and I went to check it out a little.I have found this gorgous bouque of dandelions.Dandelions are my mama's favorite flowers in the whole world.So Tommy and I decided to buy my mother dandelions for her birthday that is comming up in three weeks.Then after we got done with that we headed to this fabric store.As I walked in I saw this wonderful,fabulous,spectacular! It was a zebra printed piece of silk.It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.Tommy just stared,gazing at me like I was a freak or something.Tommy sugested that we should head to a safe shelter for the night.

What would it be like if Wooly Mammoths were still alive today?
If Wooly Mammoths were still alive in our day, life would be bazaar! Exspecially if there were only a few living.People would be going crazy trying to figure out information and facts about the Wooly Mammoths.Scientists and Researchers would be going crazy trying to figure out more and more information about them so when they are extinct they can make movies and wright books about them.
