Hey I'm Maddie and I have a lot to say about myself. First of all I live on 68 acres of land and it's an alpaca farm. Alpacas are kinda like llamas but smaller. I also have horses, donkeys, goats,dogs, a duck, a cat, and a water buffalo. I'm in level 5 gymnastics!!!! My best friends are Skylar R and Katie J. I LOVE STRAWBERRIES and TWILIGHT!!! I have a little 3 year old sister almost 4. I have light brown hair down to my shoulders and blue eyes!

Draft one: The map

=="Tanya come her please." Tanya rushed over to the king and greeted him "Yes Master?" "My best warrior, I need you to take this to Tokyo. You should pass through China Hut and climb Mountain Minnow then walk through the bright yellow gates and your there." "Yes Master, whatever you need." Tanya said as she took the Scroll of Peace. Tanya has been the Kings warrior for years. This is first big job though and shes a little unsure about it.== ==As Tanya walked out the big glass door, made of a million little tiles she heard the King yell "Be Careful." Tanya has always known the King liked her the most of anyone. She was now out the door and feeling lucky. She got on the right trail and went off. Tanya remembered that she needs to pass through China Hut, so off to China Hut she went , the most populated town in the world. Since she knew China Hut so well she knew just how to get to the mountain. She soon got to the mountain cutoff. There were three signs, one said Mountain Minnow and the other said Mountain Millow and the last said Mountain Snake. She knew to go to Mountain Minnow so down the road she went.== ==Tanya has never been to Mountain Minnow, but shes been to others. Tanya finally came to the huge mountain. She saw a ton of signs but all of them were crossed out and written in English. "Darn Americans, so hateful to us Chinese." Tanya said. She thought about how Chinese were being mistreated by Americans and crinkled her nose. So Tanya decided to take the trail that that the words looked most like Tokyo. As Tanya traveled she didn't know if she was on the right track but was confident she was. Tanya was walking along when she came to the part of the trail that split off into three. She decided to take the middle one, even though she was just guessing. As Tanya walked down the wrong trail she had a smile on her face.== ==About a week after, the king was very worried about Tanya but knew she would come back. Eventually a few weeks went by and the king got scared, so he sent out a letter to all kings saying that one of his best warriors was missing and showed a picture. A few days later the king got a bunch of letters all saying the same thing and a few with pictures. So the king decided to have all kings in reach come over. As they got there they all disguised the horrible problem. They knew that it probally had to do with Americans. They new about the signs and thought that was the problem. Then why they were talking one, of the kings most newest warrior who was not that smart and not noticed blurted out in the middle of there conversation "A map!" Everyone stared in confusion. He said "We can make a piece of paper with lines and signs and roads on it showing how to get there so they'll never get lost, we'll call it a map!" All the kings thought that was a great idea and eventually started making maps for all there warriors and one never got lost again. Eventually, as time went on the map got more advanced and easy to use. Thats how the map was created.==
