Me and Santiago’s Stories Compared

 

Santiago’s Story

 

I started out simple

As a shepherd, but then

A dream changed my course

And that’s where my story begins

 

I traveled to Tangier

Where I was robbed

So I worked at a crystal shop

For almost a year, which was so long

 

I earned much commision

And traveled in a caravan

Across the desert to an oasis

With an alchemist (an Englishman)

 

At the oasis

I met Fatima, whom I wanted for a wife

But traveled to Egypt, after much thought

With the Alchemist, a wise man who knew much of life

 

I then reached the pyramids

But a gang beat me up

Talked of dreams of treasure

So I went back to the Sycamore tree, and dug my treasure up!

Sierra’s Story

I started life in Texas

And then we moved here

Trinidad School’s small, and though I love it all

Texas is still always near

 

I’ll take a trip to France some day

In many years yet to come

I’ll be there for many hours, and see the Eiffel Tower

But for now I learn some French from my mom

 

Next I’ll move to South California

Near the ocean, and the Sun

I’ll become a vet, that’s my personal legend’s bet

And have a lot of fun

 

Then I’ll find a husband

Have two kids, a boy and girl

we’ll live together, forever and ever

with the years going by in a whirl

 

Lastly I’ll see the wonders of the world

Many monuments, mountains, and more

I’ll hang glide, and have a nice ride

And everything, I will adore
