Multicultural Week Story

Once upon a time, at a school far far away, there was a festival called Multicultural Week. The students were filled with excitement for the abundance of food that would be present at lunch during the week.  They anticipated the festival weeks before it began. Finally, on a cool spring day in April, it arrived. The bell rang and lunch began. Students ran out of their classrooms and flooded to the horseshoe. People were shouting and rushing to get into line. Burritos, samosas, cheesecake, pizza, donuts, and every other food imaginable was being sold. People piled food onto their plates and ate with their friends. The sound of laughter and music was in the air. But sadly, the hour passed by quickly, and it was time to go back to class. The students trudged to their 5th period class, with their shoulders drooped and frowns on their face. "Cheer up everyone! We still have a whole week to go!", their teachers said. The students slowly looked up and at each other, smiles forming on their faces. Their teacher was right! The excitement wasn't over! They cheered up and went to work, dreaming of what the rest of the week would hold, and happily waiting for tomorrow. The end.
