2. Couponing is a growing trend in our country. As more people are losing their jobs or their hours and pay are being cut,
they are looking for ways to save money. Coupons are an easy means of doing this. Yes, it may take a little work, but the
payoff can be worth the time. If you get the daily paper already, you don’t have to spend any money to get the coupons.
In addition, there are online sites that allow you to select and print the coupons of your choice. Many stores even double
or triple the value of the money saved. So if you want to find an easy way to help your family save money during these
tough times, try couponing. There’s nothing to lose and money to gain

3. Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a beautiful, magic frog named Frogella. This frog was so beautiful that
people would come from far and wide to admire her. As if being this beautiful were not enough, Frogella could turn rocks
into diamonds. Her father feared that an evil villain in the neighboring kingdom had plans to kidnap Frogella and use her
magic to get rich. He visited the magic penguin and asked that she put a spell on Frogella so that no one from the
neighboring village could recognize her. She sent a potion home for Frogella to drink. To everyone in her village, she
remained a beautiful frog. But, they knew the spell worked when the evil villain came to town and asked Frogella if she
knew where he could find the beautiful Frogella. When he left without seeing Frogella, the town celebrated with joy.
Their beautiful frog was safe!
