2. Part 1
Hi! I'm Gary Granite. Today, you are
going to learn all about my life. You will
also learn a lot about the rock cycle. I
hope you enjoy the story of my life!

3. Part 2
One day, when I was just a little granite, I was just
resting on the top of a mountain, but then some rain
came and started to push me off. It took me all the
way to the edge of the mountain. I was teetering
over the edge. The rain eventually pushed me off
the mountain. I rolled down like a tumbleweed in
Texas. I was so scared.

4. Part 3
I rolled and I rolled down the river until I came
to a peaceful river. I knew I had to go
through my rock weathering soon. I was
bracing myself for the very painful moment.

5. Part 4
While I was flowing down the river peacefully, I heard
a very loud sound and forbidding sound. I knew the
glacier was coming. I was very frightened, but I
knew this has to happen to all rocks. The glacier
crushed me, and turned me into rock flour. It was
painful, but I knew that I was halfway done with the
rock cycle.

6. Part 5
My rock flour felt like baby powder. I felt like
crushed pumice. I felt so little and helpless. My
powder kept splitting up. Life was miserable for
me. I kept flowing down the river until I reached a
sand bar. I had to get ready for my painful
transformation from granite to sedimentary rock.

7. Part 6
The sand bar crushed, crunched, and
destroyed me. I turned into very small bits
of rock. It was like I was a baby again. Life
was miserable for me.

8. Part 7
I kept flowing down the river until I got caught on a dinosaur
drinking water. I saw a bunch of other rocks getting caught on
him too. Eventually the dinosaur died and all that was left of him
was his bones. I covered his bones and the dinosaur became a
fossil. I could finally rest, and that was the story of how I
became a sedimentary rock. That reminds me, I have to go
change my name to Sam Sedimentary. Bye!
