Mason Elementary School, Duluth, GA - 5th Grade


The Strangest Story EVER. Period.

Usually, in a story, the bad guy gets put in jail, or he escapes to do evil another day.  It's not very often that the bad guy in a story gets eaten.  But that's what happens.  You are not going to believe it, but the 5th graders tell me that it's absolutely true.  I'll tell the story and let you decide.

Our story begins with Shelby a cute, little, long-haired guinea pig.  She runs in the tunnels, plays in her activity ball and eats guinea pig food, just like a normal pet.  But Shelby has a secret.  Deep inside the tunnels of her home, she keeps a priceless fried chicken who can shoot laser beams out of its eyes.  But wait!  It gets stranger!

One day when Shelby is running around the living room floor in her activity ball, Bob, a chicken with painted blue stripes down either side of his body, walks into Shelby's house to visit.  Since Shelby is not home, he wanders around and finds the fried chicken with the laser beam eyes.  It's love at first sight! (I told you it got weirder!)  Bob and the fried chicken decide to elope, which means that they decide to run off and get married. 

When Shelby returned, she saw her fried chicken was missing and called her big friend Lisa.  Lisa followed the clues, including a note that Bob left, and tracked down the missing poultry.  She returned Shelby's chicken, but Bob suffered a different fate.  Lisa's favorite food was baked chicken and rice, and she decided to have Bob over for dinner, if you know what I mean.

What a strange and fun story.  But a lot of questions remain.  How did Shelby get the chicken?  Why did it shoot laser beams from its eyes?  Did the fried chicken really love Bob or was she just trying to get away from Shelby?  And was Bob delicious?  You can write some more and find out!
