Papers

Every so often I go through the den and try a different way of organizing the girls' papers. They play a lot of school (usually Julia gets to be the teacher) and draw a lot of pictures and write a lot of stories. Sometimes they make their stories in to books and ask me to sew a binding, or they staple them. Sometimes the books are very long and sometimes very short. And I find them everywhere.


Here is a sample:

The Curse of the Flying Pumpkins, by Holly

Once upon a time

there was a Girl

She was sleeping

She had a Bad
dream wich is

called a nightmear -

they Pulled her By her

feet to a castle

ChaPter two

A Bad Gey shooted

her with a Gun
ow! ow! She said

chapter three

she got Put in

Prison for doing

nothing the

PumPkins should

shouted. No you

She was crying.

a ant came along

go Away she said

No! said the ant. No!

No! No! the Girl cryed

as hard as posible.! everybody

they were put in prison

In another castle

all the People all cryed

chapter four

I can't imagine what's going to happen next. And I'm not sure where the bad guy with the gun fits in the story or in her head. I bet the ant saves the day.
