Joe entered the shelter one stormy day on the outskirts of London. His clothes were wrinkled and soiled. He hadn’t eaten in over three days, and his stomach was growling.
“Would you like a fresh bed and a shower?” a kind voice spoke to him.
In surprise, he looked up and gulped. There she was, the Princess of Wales, standing right there in this shelter. She was smiling at him.
Joe looked around. Maybe she was speaking to someone else. But no, he was the only one who had just come through the door.
He turned and gave her a grin. “Hey, Princess, are you speakin’ to me?”
“I am,” she said and returned his grin with one of her own.
Joe grabbed the towel and looked up. He saw a sign for the showers. He headed down the hall.
“Say, when I get myself all presentable, do you think I could ask you a few questions, Your Highness?”
Diana smiled again. “That would be just fine. Go ahead, get cleaned up. I’ll have some hot soup waiting for you when you get out, and I’ll show you to a bed. Looks like you could use a good night’s sleep.”
“I could! A warm bed would feel mighty nice. Thank you.”
As Joe turned and headed into the showers, Diana thought, “This is why I came. If I can make the world a better place for just a few people, than I’ve accomplished my mission.”

“The White House is on fire!” yelled the servant from the kitchen area.
“Mrs. Madison, you must leave at once!”
Dolley turned around and watched as the kitchen burst into flames. The fresh biscuits for dinner were gone. The spaghetti, and soon the house, would go up in flames. As she glanced around, she realized that history would be lost, if she did not act quickly. She had to think fast.
Up the stairs she ran, grabbing the original oil painting of George Washington from the wall. It could not be redone. It could not be replaced.
Smoke billowed up the stairs.
“Madam,” her servant cried. “Hurry! Run!”
Dolley nearly lost her footing at that very minute, but caught the banister. Smoke filled her nose, her eyes, and her mouth. She tried to breathe.
“Just get to the front door, and everything will be all right,” she heard herself mutter. One foot in front of another . . . .
“Madam, where are you?”
“I’m here, Susanna.”
“Follow the sound of my voice!”
Dolley followed the sound of her voice and soon reached the doors of the White House. Her lungs filled with air as she sprinted across the lawn with her coat flapping in the breeze. Her husband smiled as he saw her hurry across the lawn.
Under her arm was the precious painting of George Washington. Even in disaster, his amazing lady, Dolley, had saved a piece of history.

“What did you get on your test?” I reached over and grabbed Gary’s paper. He reached over and grabbed it back.
He smiled weakly, and his answer was pathetic. “An F.”
I grinned. “Beat ya! I got an A.”
At recess my teacher, Ms. Lovell, asked me to stay in. Usually that wasn’t a good sign. She said, “Travis, what do you think you could have done this morning instead of torturing Gary after the test?”
“Gee, Ms. Lovell, I guess I could have offered to help him, but he is just awful in math!”
“Well, Travis, sometimes you are aren’t so good in other subjects, but you just happen to be a wizard at math.
Why don’t you trade time for the stuff you are good at, and he can help you with your writing? Will you just give it a try?”
“For how long?”
“There is another math project I’m assigning. I will give you a week to work on it. How does a week sound?”
“Okay.”
After lunch, Ms. Lovell assigned us partners for the next math project. My partner was Gary, of course. We worked and worked—after school, before school, and on the weekend. When the project was due, we proudly presented it to the class. Gary knew what he was talking about, and I wrote a great report.
Then, the big surprise. Ms. Lovell gave us a pop quiz on the material! When she handed it back, Gary grabbed my paper. “Hey, Travis, what did you get?”
I stared in amazement. His paper had an A+ on it! Guess Ms. Lovell’s idea had worked, a little too well! I moaned and grabbed my paper before he could see I only got an A.

“I hate writing!” wailed Anthony, as the substitute teacher entered the room. “It stinks, and I refuse to like it! Can’t we do math instead?”
“Sorry,” she said with a grin. “Your teacher says to work on writing, so writing it is.”
The sub pulled a magnifying glass, a small notebook, and a trench coat out of her bag. We started to watch her intently. This didn’t look like a normal lesson. What did this strange new sub with short, spiky hair have up her sleeve?
“How many of you have ever wanted to be a detective?” she asked. Everybody, even Anthony raised his hand.
“Well, being a good writer is just like being a good detective. You have to start with the right equipment. Cindy, what equipment would a good detective need to solve a mystery?”
“I think he would need to have a magnifying glass, a notebook, and a pen.”
“That is a very good start! Tell me more . . . .”
As the class period moved along, we all became absorbed in the lesson. She reviewed things that were really important for successful writers. She talked about topic sentences, transition words, main ideas, details, and conclusions. At the same time, she kept going back to the detective equipment. It kept our attention, and before long we were coming up with great ideas and strong sentences. It was amazing! We were all feeling confident.
Bzzzz. The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. We were all caught by surprise. Where had the time gone? What spell had she cast over us so that we wanted to learn about writing? What if she was right, that writing was like being a detective? Could we really be successful writers, and like it too?
At that moment, Anthony interrupted my thoughts. “Hey, Miss A., do you think you could ask our teacher if you could come back another day? I think I might like to learn more about this writing stuff!”
I smirked to myself. If she had Anthony on her side, anything was possible.
