Once upon a
time, a long time ago, far, far away, in a land named Granite,
there lived a girl
named Grace. She lived with her cruel Aunt Lois because her mother and father
had died in a car accident when Grace was only two years old. On Grace’s 12th
birthday, Aunt Lois sent Grace to school.
While she was gone, Aunt Lois took
all Grace’s things and threw them in the river!
She then went back inside and
put pins in her bed! She waited for Grace to return, but she never came home.
Aunt Lois went to the school,
but she was not there either. The teacher told
her that Grace had gone to live with her friend Liz. Oh! Joy was in Lois’
heart! She didn’t have to take care of Grace anymore! However, the next day,
Grace was back. “Aunt Lois” yelled Grace. “I missed you so much!” and with just
those words, her Aunt decided that Grace was worth having
and they lived
happily ever after. The End.
This is a sweet story, though it started out very sad. Thank you Bridget for sharing your writing and illustrations. Keep up the creativity.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the likely incidental inclusion of both the town name and Grace. Granite... a firm foundation and Grace... love when it's not deserved... shown very nicely in this little story
