Missing Thongs

It is still Friday though the morning has passed. I am terribly sorry to disappoint you, but I was unable to get a thing written while I was out of town. I didn't even get NEO out of his case. I racked my brain however and came up with a story to post. You may think it a little strange when you read it, but then I was only 7 years old at the time. I hope you find that my writing has improved somewhat.:) And don't laugh too hard. And by the way, Amber, Angela and I didn't actually write these, we dictated them to my mom who wrote them down. I will try to do better next week.

And by the way, if you are longing for the next part of "Meleah's Western" just talk to Meleah. I won't write the next part until she has read the last one and asked me some more questions. :) After all, it is her story.

Chapter 1
The Runaway Thongs
by
Amber

One day Rebekah and Angela and Amber were playing outside. They were playing in the sandbox. They put their thongs by the side on the sandbox.
Then their thongs started sneaking away. Then Lassie went and saw them walking away. Then they walked around the block. Some people that were riding bikes saw them. They said, “Look at those thongs walking away! We had better go and try to catch them.”
Then they said, “We can’t catch them. We’ll have to run over them.”
“Now we can’t run over them. They are fast shoes! I guess we’ll have to go on our bike ride.”
Then Rebekah, Amber, and Angela got out of the sandbox to put on their thongs to go play inside. But they did not see their thongs. So they went inside and saw if Bekah had some more shoes in the shoe box. But Rebekah didn’t have anymore shoes. Then they asked Mrs. Morris if they could go and walk around the block. Then they saw their thongs. They ran after their thongs! Their thongs ran faster and faster! Then their thongs ran and ran and ran, and ran across the street and they couldn’t catch them. So they went inside. Amber and Angela had to leave.

Chapter 2
The Thongs Are Lost!
by
Rebekah

One day the thongs were missing. Amber, Angela, and Rebekah were trying to find them. They looked by the sand box. They weren’t there. Since they weren’t there they looked by the swing set. They weren’t there. They looked by the little tree house. They were not there. They looked on top of the little tree house. They were not there. They looked by the big tree house. They were not there. They looked all around the yard. They were not there. They looked in Lassie’s doghouse. They were not there. They looked on top of Clover’s cage. They were not there. They looked under the porch. They were not there. They looked in the mailbox. They were not there. They said, “Hhmm - Where could they be?” They didn’t know what to think. “Our thongs, the only one’s that we have!” said Rebekah. “They disappeared,” said Amber. They were about ready to give up. After a few more minutes they gave up.

Chapter 3
Amber, Angela, and Rebekah Find The Thongs
by
Angela

One day Amber, Angela, and Rebekah went to look for their thongs. When they got outside they went to the brick church. When they got to the parking lot they saw one of Rebekah’s thongs walking to them. Rebekah put it on. Then they saw one of Amber’s thongs and one of Angela's thongs. They put them on their feet. Then they walked around the block.
When they got to the corner they saw Angela’s other thongs. It was sleeping. They carried it. When they got to the brick church again, they saw Rebekah’s other thong running away. They turned around and went the other way (Amber, Angela, and Rebekah did). Then they saw Rebekah’s thong laying in the sun. Rebekah ran up to it and stuck it on her foot. Then they saw Amber’s other thong sleeping. Then Angela’s thong woke up. Angela put in on her foot. Amber carried her sleeping thong. When they got back to the house Amber’s other thong woke up. She put it on and went home. Angela did, too. They went to bed when they got home.

THE END

I told you I had improved.:) At least I hope I have! (Just a note for those of you who don't know what a "thong" is, it is a flip-flop.)
