Since I originally posted this, the author informed me that I had entitled her story incorrectly.  I have since made the appropriate changes to ensure accuracy.

For my birthday (not really, but I’m gonna claim it), Natalie composed her first short story. It was inspired by a little writing assignment (Critters in the Garden) in her More Literacy workbook from Mother Goose Time. She was instructed to draw a picture of what critters she might see in a garden, and then draw or write a story about it.

She was so creative that my mommy heart can’t help but share it with the world-wide web.

Because some letters look like the animals.”)

 

The No Family Mole
by Natalie Harwood

Once upon a time, there was a mole. And he was very lonely because he didn’t have a family.

There was also a rabbit, who jumped into a hole, thinking it was her den. But it was the mole’s hole.

She jumped in and she found the mole and asked him if he would be her friend.

The mole said yes because he was lonely.

But after a while, they were still lonely.

Then a worm squirmed in and thought it was her home.

AND THEN the worm asked the rabbit and the mole if they wanted to be her friends and they said yes.

Now they were not lonely.

The End.

 

I’m anticipating an illustrated version to come. Stay tuned!
