a group story, written by 3rd graders
Cody, Taylor, Emily, Alyssa and Jorden
Once upon a time there was a girl named Tessa and she loved to eat carrots. But
everybody laughed at her, so she stopped eating carrots. She didn't like to be laughed
at. One morning Tessa woke up at her usual time and decided to get dressed. She walked
over to her dresser and opened her drawer.
All of a sudden her dresser--where she'd touched--turned into carrots! She ran downstairs to tell her mother what had happened. Her mother didn't believe her and she
said, "Tessa, you go get ready for school, missy." So she got ready for school.
At school,
she accidentally touched Robert and he quickly turned into a long, tall, orange carrot.
Tessa ran home fast and told her mother what happened when she touched Robert. Her mother rushed Tessa to see her doctor.
The doctor said he could not find anything wrong
with her. He sent her back home and told her to stay in the house and not to touch
anything. Tessa came home and the cat jumped in her lap. Next thing Tessa knew she was
petting a carrot.
Tessa could not help it everwhere she went she touched something and
it turned into a carrot. There were carrots all over her house. The next morning she
heard a knock at her door. It was a little lady who told her she could help her. The
little lady told her she had to eat carrots and not worry if the other kids laughed at
her. Tessa ate a whole bag of carrots. She loved carrots and had missed then so much.
The
next morning she got up from bed and went down stairs then hugged her mother. Her mother
did not change into a carrot. Nothing happened and from now on she ate carrots and was
fine. Tessa no longer cared if the other kids laughed at her. She ate her carrots and
lived happily ever after.
