Who Said It?
What twittering British lady is quoted below?:
"The Twittersphere is an odd and uncanny place. It's something like having fairies at the bottom of your garden. How do you know anyone is who he/she says he is, especially when they put up pictures of themselves that might be their feet, or a cat, or a Mardi Gras mask, or a tin of Spam?"
A. Camilla Bowles
B. J.K. Rowling
C. Dame Judi Dench

The Passover Story as told by Layla
Once there was a princess. And the princess found baby Moses. And she needed help taking care of the baby because she didn’t want the baby to be Egyptian. The Egyptians had a king named Pharaoh. He made them so tired by making them build pyramids. And then Moses growed up and he went to Pharaoh’s palace Moses said to Pharaoh, “Please let my people go.”
And Pharaoh said “I don’t believe you.” In the morning time when Pharaoh woke up he saw frogs jumping all over him.
And Moses came back and he said “Pharaoh I told you something bad would happen. Can you please let my people go?”
He said, “No, no, no I will not let them go. No, no no, I will not let them go.”
It was another night, and in the morning Pharaoh woke up he saw bugs. And the bugs went, “Buzzzzzzzz”.
When another night came past, he slept and then hail came down. Pharaoh opened the door when Moses came again and Moses said “I told you something bad would happen.”
Pharaoh said “I will really let them go now.” They ran quickly until he changed his mind, and he changed his mind and he ran behind them. And a miracle happened and the water split. And they ran across the water until the water closed. And then they sang "Dy dy dayenu!”
The Passover Story as told by Ari
Once upon a time in a land called Egypt there was a mean king named Pharaoh. He was yelling at the Jewish people, “You have to work harder!”.
Then the Jewish people said “We’re too tired!”
And Pharaoh said, “You can’t rest, you only have to work hard.” Then Moses came to Pharaoh and knocked so hard on his door and Pharaoh opened the door and Moses said, “Pharaoh, you’re working the Jewish people too hard. We want to go home.”
Then Pharaoh said “No, no no, I will not let them go.”
“Ok, Pharaoh, if you don’t let the Jewish people go, something terrible is gonna happen.”
Pharaoh said, “I don’t believe you, nothing bad’s gonna happen.”
The next morning frogs were jumping on his head and nose and toes and the Jewish people was doing that. So Pharaoh said, “You have to work harder than before!" Then the next morning, hail was coming down and the Jewish people were doing that because he was working them too hard. Then they leaved. And they run so fast and then a lake was in front of them. And Moses knowed what to do – he put the stick in the water and it opened. They run across and Pharaoh was following and it finally closed and they were singing Dayenu. And then they opened their sacks then they saw matzoh and then it was a miracle.
