My name is Chris and I believe we should make Clones
My first reason is when we are bored we can play with our clones
My second reason is if my friends can’t play I’ll clone them
My third reason is I can make my clone go to school while I play with my clones.

Once there were two friend that went swimming in a lake. There were ducks and baby ducks too. They jumped again and they did not know how to swim so they were teaching each other and having a great time. There names were Tommy and Sandy. They were mostly like cousins, but not cousins. They did a lap when they learned to swim. It was a great and sunny day to go swimming at a lake. The lake was very big but the ocean is bigger. They splashed water in their faces. Sandy had a red t-shirt. It was almost 3:00 in the afternoon. Time to go home yelled Sandy’s mom.
The end.
