This was a tough one. Those who attempted a good story that weaved the pictures together, have been declared winners! That would be: sydneym5, El-Miracle Akpan, unicorn, Clara Roberts, and Tryn28.

This is the story of the Independence of Nigeria. A long time ago on First October 1960 Nigeria got independence it all happened when white people ruled Nigeria because they thought they were super because of their skin color so one day one black man had enough of it but he could not win the war on his own so when he convinced some people.After they went to their master to tell him but instead he doubled their work and went to court and for punishment he sent the leader's dear friend away. so one day they left to gather many people soon the white soon tried to stop them so after they ambushed the whites after a very long time of battles between blacks and whites on one battle when the whites were retreating one of them shot his toe without the risk of him being dead he shot his toe to blame the blacks so the whites could get angrier and kill all blacks after he blamed blacks so after he died the whites planed revenge on one battle they were killed in court and after a few years slavery of blacks was stopped.

THE REVOLUTION OF EUROPE:BY EL-MIRACLE AKPAN;2 PARAGRAPHS

During 1966,there were a group of friends;who engaged in a group called the Revolution of Europe.They were consisting of 11 young lads named Ricky,Jon,Lancer,Bob,Jake,Alfred,Arthur,Saul,Samuel,Nicky,Thomas.They all sat together on a skyscraper,hoping that one day they would be known as heroes.Then Thomas said to Samuel,"Don't you think we should prepare for the upcoming war?I mean that if we want be known as WAR heroes we should prepare,right?". All of his friends agreed.John contributed by saying,"Yes,I think that we should all go to the master of war and the world;Albert Einstein.". Yes!they all chorused.They then approached his home and were kindly invited. Jon said" Grandpappy, do you have any tips for us,for when we grow up to be soldiers?". Albert Einstein replied "Yes" and gave them all they needed to know.They later graduated and performed excellently in the military that they were the TOP in command.

There was a great war between the Axis and Allied powers;they each tried to conquer each other but failed,caused a lot of suffering for their people;vowing NEVER TO END until a side has won.The Allied Powers only needed 11 good soldiers/generals to fill in the empty spot,so the Revolution of Europe was called.During a secret and special meeting,they traded facts about a woman named Sequoyia a female leader of the Navajo tribe which was filled with great warriors ,and agreed that the next day they should set out to America.they met her, and gave her gifts in return for information and soldiers.She gave them what she owed them, and after 3 months of fighting and war,the Allied powers won.To celebrate their victory and HUGE achievement,on the 17th May 1968 Jon,Nicky,Alfred,Arthur,raised the American flag.The rest of the group did not come because they were handling important documents that contained important national/financial information.They died 38 years later after fighting for the Berlin wall in Germany.They were remember as heroes and and role models by the people and their family.Their children,grandchildren,great-grandchildren and future generations were proud and always carried on the family legacy and famous motto:"Be true to yourself,decide YOUR future,and expect great things to come.",which in the whole of Europe was never forgotten.

THE END

“One day we are going to fall,”Dave explained to Albert as they walked across the metal beam. They were just sitting in a row with the other workers for a break, but it was now over. They were to continue building skyscrapers. Dave and Albert Einstein knew that if they fell it would be instant death. Albert cared less for his life then Dave and so as a joke he pretended to start falling.
“No!”Dave cried hurrying towards Albert. Boys down below who saw the action turned there heads into their mother’s back. But everything was fine. Albert laughed and stuck his tongue out as they continued to walk.
Dave looked down below at the civil war battle field that was being cleared. He looked as workers pushed the American flag back up out of the debris. Dave knew he had life good, but death was only below.

Einstein said to his wife and grandkids that when he was 23 he was on a beam of a building hundreds of feet up, and his buddy helped set up a flag with other soldiers.

Shortest story. ever.

The sun beat down in gleamings rays on the 11 tired workers sat in a line across a long beam. One of them held a newspaper and was reading off the contexts while the others stuffed their mouths with the precious food. Any food at all was dear to them.
"Lookie here!" drawled owner of the newspaper. "My Britches! Would you look at this picture. The wars over!"
A hoot sang out among the soot cover men and with rough fingers and exclamations, the newspaper was passed along. A black and white picture covered almost the whole front page. Four men stood pushing a American flag in the center of a battle field. The words: WAR IS WON were printed just below. Jimmy, the youngest of the group, was starin at his toes that seemed to be float a thousand feet above New York City.
"Do ya think that it will stop the depression and all?" He called over the other men's voices. The owner of the newspaper, Dan, smiled through his thick beard.
"By golly! I do! With people like them Albert Einstein and all, I can see this country back to a good state!"
Another cheer rippled through the hot air and suddenly below them, a chorus of whoops and cheers filled the streets of Manhattan. The news was everywhere. The was was over.

it was in the late 1930s. a group of workers sitting on a beam hundreds of feet above manhattan were eating lunch. one had a baloney peanut butter sandwich. "yum. my mary ann may be hard put to it to find food with the depression, but she is one master cook." " another said " I don't knw about your mary ann, but that hitler over in germany sure is cookin up a storm. he's has occupied the czech, austria, and poland. if i miss my guess, we'll have war before long. that guy has even banished the jews, including einstein from germany!. suddenly, the city was rocked with a strange cosmic boom. later, the workers found outthat war had been declared at just that moment.
