Warning! Watch Your Stacks of Gold!

By the Blackshear Library kids

It was the first of October in Kenya, Africa. Jet Li, a martial arts master, was in his home, admiring a 7 foot tall stack of gold he had gotten at the store a long time ago. Though he was able to break boards with his bare hands and fight several men at the same time, Jet was a peaceful man. He was only 4 feet tall, and the gold he was admiring seemed like a mountain to him.

while he was looking at the gold, a wizard from another story came in and cast a spell on Mr. Li. It was Severus Snape! He froze Jet Li with a wave of his wand, and Jet was powerless to stop what happened next. Snape, who many thought looked like a dragon, use a spell to shrink the gold until it was no larger than a vitamin pill. And then he swallowed it and walked right out of the room!

When the freezing spell wore off, Jet Li was as angry as a charging buffalo! He called his good friend and world famous spy, James Bond (the real one, as played by Sean Connery), and tols James what happened.

Bond tracked Snape to his hideout, cut him open (fortunately, wizards heal very fast) and got the gold back. Snape was sent to jail and when the spell wore off, Jet Li had his huge pile of gold once again.

Since there are no wizard proof jails in Africa, Snape soon escaped and is roaming around looking for more gold to steal. If you have any 7 foot stacks of gold, you've been warned!
