Paddington’s Adventure to the Supermarket 

By: Isabella R.

            Marmite

Paddington is a friendly little bear that everyone loves. He lives in London, England with Mr. and Mrs. Brown along with their children, Judy and Jonathan. One day when Paddington was home alone he decided that he would go to the supermarket to get some more of his favorite snacks, bread, and marmalade. When he finally found the supermarket he ran inside and immediately found the jam aisle. He found the marmalade and went to check out at the counter. The clerk asked, “Just marmalade, really?” Paddington replied, “Yes sir, that is my favorite snack after all. Do you like marmalade?” “No,” he said, “I like Marmite.”  

The Noisy Bed and Breakfast

By: Karina

Lewis walked into the quaint bed and breakfast, a bell ringing as he opened the door. He sat on a tattered armchair while a lady shuffled toward him. She slowly smiled and offered him some toast, to which Lewis nodded. To the tune of the creaking wood boards, the lady walked through a dimmed corridor. Soon after there was an angry cacophony. A door closed then opened, and there was immediate silence as the grinning lady hobbled over to the man with his buttered toast. “No,” he said, “I like Marmite.” “Oh, of course, dear,” The lady said and walked through the corridor.

The Spreading Festival

                        Marmite vs. Ketchup

There once was a famous town for its different spreadings. Every year there was a festival in town for people to vote which spreading is the best. There were many spreadings you could pick from like ketchup, mustard, ranch, BBQ sauce, marmite, and many others. When the voting began lots of people started debating over which one is best. Then randomly someone yelled, “No,” he said, “I like Marmite!” The crowd was in silence for quite a while then they started debating again. At the end of the day, the votes came in. The host shouts, “ 78 Ketchup, 60 Mustard, 67 Ranch, 57 BBQ sauce, and 1 marmite. Ketchup wins!”
