1. Journey of a Grain of Sand
I was thinking about this title the other day. This is not about a
grain of sand. I always thought it should be called, Story of a
Brave Granite, but that's the way it is. Let's just cut to the
story now.
I was a little granite who went on a big journy. After my
endless journey, I have become a shale stone. This is how it
began:

2. Journey of a Grain of Sand
One day, a giant rainstorm hit the mountains, where I lay still for
days. The sky was as dark as the deep bottom of the ocean!
Suddenly, I was starting to move by the flood that was caused
by the horrible rainstorm. I kept rolling until I hit a river.

3. Journey of a Grain of Sand
I cried for help while I was trying to get out of the river. I kept
flowing down the river until I was at the bottom of the mountain.
The water roared while water was being spilled all over me. I
thought I would be craked into a billion little pieces before the
terrifying storm ended!
The storm ended about an hour later. My heart was pounding with
relief and my face was showing glee but little did I know I had
much more trouble ahead of me.

4. Journey of a Grain of Sand
I was a bit calmer, but I was still a little bit worried about what
would happen when the river would come to an end.
Soon, I was feeling a bit noxious. It's because I was in a roller
coaster of meanders! They were getting bigger and bigger! My
head was spinning so fast that I felt like I was going to... well,
you know.

5. Journey of a Grain of Sand
I was relived like I was when the storm was over. I was relived
because there were no more meanders to be seen.
I was panicking again when I saw saw something else in the
distance of the river. I took a close look and noticed that it
wasn't bad at all. It was just an oxbow lake. It was HUGE! It was
bigger than other ones I have seen before. At least I didn't get
stuck in it. It was already formed.

6. Journey of a Grain of Sand
Days and days have gone by. I was getting very bored. Suddenly,
my eyes opened with more relief than ever before on my
journey. My face was covered with a giant smile. The end of the
river was there!
A delta took me out of the river and into the ocean. How nice it
was to not worry about anymore obstacles in my path, and of
not being in that rapid river.

7. Journey of a Grain of Sand
A few months later, I noticed something different. I
was a shale! From that point on, I have always
been wondering how this happened.
So that's my story. Everytime I think about my
journey, I always put a huge smile on my face and
tell the whole story to myself over and over again.
