Genre writing by grade 2

I gave various story sheets to my grade 2 batch last month and asked them to write different stories based on different genres. They gasped and almost fainted. But, a little encouragement was all they needed. They wrote horror stories, mythological stories, mysteries, and historical stories. They were too excited about their stories to leave them with me for publishing. I managed to catch hold of these.

Historical story by Maanya Khandelwal:
3000 years ago, there lived a king and a queen. Their names were Mayaa and Tete.
One day, people from their kingdom asked the king for some money. Tete gave them some money, but they wanted more money. Tete didn't have any more money. People began fighting with Tete and Mayaa.
Tete and Mayaa died. They were kept in a box then. Now they are called mummies.

Historical story by Teisha Gulati:
Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Jim. He lived with his parents.
His parents died. Jim felt very sad and lonely. He remembered what his father had said, "Stay with an animal when we die". Jim used to be very scared of the animals. But he was alone and he knew animals wouldn't bite him.
He went to a forest and loved all the animals. He lived with them.

Mystery by Aarav Maharjan:
On Christmas, Sam was wanted to open his gifts.
He had seen his gift the night before but now he couldn't find it anywhere. He asked his mother. She said it was a riddle and he had to solve the riddle to get the puzzle. She said his gifts were in a place where we never go. He thought a lot about that place where no one would go ever. He went to the storeroom but realized that his mother often went to the storeroom. Instead of looking everywhere, he started thinking.
He found his gifts under the bed!

Sad story by Yoshitha:
Once John's parents went out for dinner. John didn't go out with them.
When they were on their way to the restaurant, a car came and dashed into theirs. They died on the spot. Everybody crowded near the car. They called the police. The police came but couldn't find out who had dashed into John's parents' car.
The mystery killer went to John's house and killed him too. He died.

Mystery by Samaira:
Sam was very excited to open his Christmas gift.
But he couldn't find his gift anywhere. He searched around the whole house. He searched around his apartment complex too. He asked his mother. She told him to look for it where the maid never cleaned and mopped. He thought a lot about it and tried to remember what his mother scolded the maid about regularly.
He looked under the bed and found his gift!
