Let's write a story together. Each participating class will start a story then email it on to the next designated class to add to it.Stuck in Mud
written by Sandy Lake students,
Sandy Lake, Manitoba, Canada
One day Leanne and Lizzy went for a hike to
the top of the mountain. They walked through
really thick bushes and used their raft to get
across a pond. As they hiked, they came upon
a puddle. They had no choice but to cross the
puddle. Suddenly Leanne got stuck up to her
knees in mud that was at the bottom of the puddle.
Anne Riles 1st grade, Sope Creek School
Marietta, GA continues the story:Anxiously Lizzie kept encouraging Leanne to walk out
of the mud! Every try just seemed to sink Leanne
deeper. They called out for help but had seen no one
on the trail earlier. The girls decided to sing to
help keep calm. Lizzie found a broken branch and held
it out to Leanne, No matter how hard she pulled she
just wasn't strong enough to pull her friend to
safety. As they sang "What a Wonderful World," a
rider on a horse appeared. He had heard the singing
and came to see who it was. He quickly threw Leanne a
rope tied to his saddle and his horse slowly pulled
her from the mud. It definitely was "a wonderful world!"
At the end of the month, email us the finished product for publication at this site.(Please put your community name and "april" in the subject line.)
