The Missing Cat Mystery: A story about kittens, cousins, and vacationing written by my very own 6 year old! Ellie loves to write stories and I finally have "permission" to share something with you here on the blog. Please leave her a comment as she is anxious to hear what you all think about her story. If you get this via e-mail, stop by and leave her a message, will you? You are in for a treat with my newest "guest blogger."
Chapter 1
We get to see them
One day, I went with my cousins into the garage. What I saw
was 3 little cats cuddling up with their mother! When I went out of the garage
I saw Lexy treating the cats like stuffed animals. I told her to stop and she
did. When I came back to the garage…Nina was just petting the cats. I got to
pet them too.
Chapter 2
The Names
The next morning, me and my cousin Alyssa got to name the
cats. I named the black cat Clowe. Then we found out that her name was actually
Princess. Alyssa named the stripped one Zebra, and Alyssa named the last one
Ginger. Their favorite place to play was under some wood.
Chapter 3
The Escape
Later that evening, Princess went into the woods. I tried to
go after her but there were too many branches and poison Ivy. Later she came
back and I was so happy to see her. I held her. I put her in my lap. I got to
pet her. Alyssa wanted to hold her, I told her, “You could hold her later.”
Chapter 4
All Disappear
The next morning all the cats were gone. So I went back
inside. After lunch, I saw one of the babies! But the other two were still
gone. I looked in the woods. I found a string. I tried to throw it in to the
woods but there were too many branches. I looked under cars. Under trailers.
Then finally: I. Gave. Up.
Chapter 5
Came Back
The next morning when I woke up I found Princess! I was so
happy, but where were the others? Then some wind blew, and out of the cabinet
came…Ginger and Zebra.
Chapter 6
Good Bye
It was time to leave…I had to say goodbye. I felt like I was
going to cry. I said, “I love you.” I said, “Good bye.” And I hoped some day…I
could have my own cat…until we get a dog.
I kissed her… I hugged her. I sang to her until she fell
asleep. Then I said good bye to her one more time.
True Story
From one writer to another, Ellie, I must say this was a wonderful story! I could see everything happening in my mind as I read your words.
ReplyDeleteThere is one thing all writers tell each other, and that is "Write what you know." And you did just that! Keep it up! I look forward to reading more stories from you!
I LOVED the story about the kittens. I even shared the story with my daughter, Emily, so she could read it to her 3 little girls. Keep writing and sharing your stories...I'd love to read more!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful story Ellie! And it's true : you write what you know.
