5. I was on the Wiz Kids team at my school, Spalding Elementary. Since my team
won the first round of the competition, we won the privilege to go Washington
D.C. for the national quiz. What I didn’t know, was that a huge coincident was
on that day, was that Prince Henry the Navigator was visiting the President for
the Navigators Award. The Prince heard the Wiz Kid Competition was that
weekend. Now Prince Henry was always a stupendous Wiz Kid. So, he decided
right then and there to amble down to the quiz building. When he got there he
was astounded by the sight of…… me, an 11 year-old girl in a wheel chair with
a miniature computer attached to it. I guess he thought I was an adventurous
girl with a minor injury and he sashayed toward me.
