Stiltgrass

This morning the gang of homeschoolers got together for a community service project and this is what we did:  We went to the park and the ranger told us about the park. We then went to the bird garden and saw that it looked like a huge patch of very tall grass...  It was Stiltgrass! (which is actually a weed, even though it's called Stiltgrass.) And so the ranger said: "This is the bird garden. It's very busy in the summer and spring with millions of birds, all attracted to the native plants. Unfortunately, it's currently under the
Iron root of Stiltgrass, a invasive species. It grows in Japan, and they dry it out and use it for packing foam.
It came over in hurricane Fran. The story is that all the crates were dumped into the ocean, and it was washed up on beaches around the world, where it grew inland and now it's everywhere. Now, to get rid of it, you'll be pulling it up and putting it in a big pile. The best way to pull up Stiltgrass is to grab it where it's brown and pull it up from that. Now, there are other plants here witch you don't want to pull up. The plants that we planted are marked by blue ribbons, so don't pull those up. There are poison ivy, blackberries, gorse bushes and other herbacious hazards. There might also be snakes, "(There was a collective wanting to get in the Stiltrgass.)" So watch out. That's about it. Start pulling!" No-one needed telling twice.
The multitude was then unglued! We rushed into the weeds! Our thoughts were on uprooting them, right down to the last seed! We started pulling up the Stiltgrass as fast as possible, which resulted in many flying weeds that were projected far onto the first possible target and any unwillingness to weed the patch was discarded at speeds rival to a light particle with a jar of merengues chock-full of salt and iodine which were on a crusade to find out what that means...  Anyway, Will was the first to discover a lot of spikes( Which caused a lot of pain in spots that came into contact.) And I was the first to find a Iron pole (Which causes a headache at the top of the head).  And so we first pulled up the Stiltgrass along and on the path until you could walk on it without touching any Stiltgrass. After a while, I was the first to find a chunk of Stiltgrass taller than me and pull it up, and Will invented his distinctive method of burrowing through the Stiltgrass and I mistook him for a giant mole and he chased Blythe around the patch 8 times, so I went elsewhere and Avery fell on Will while he was tunneling, and so his burrow collapsed and he was literally buried in Stiltgrass, plus he didn't mind. I was just uprooting a large patch of Stiltgrass when I lost my sandal. I saw a
lot of weeds, Will, Noah, Dylan, a corn snake, Blythe, Avery, and plenty of Stiltgrass!
