Written by Little Me: "The Unusuel Kite"

In elementary school, we had an activity called Squiggle. The teacher would draw a simple shape in each child's notebook and then the child would turn it into a picture. Depending on the children's age and grade, a word, sentence, or whole story was written to go along with the picture.

This Squiggle and story are from September 2, 1999. I was in 2nd grade.

One day a girl named Rachel was trying to make a kite. She was only five so it was very hard. She worked hard and in an hour she hadn't made a real kite but she liked what her unusuel (sic) kite looked like. She made it very colorful and prety (sic). She thought it was good enough to fly. She went outside and started to fly it. She named it The Unusuel (sic) Kite. She flew it for hours and then the kite got blown out of her hands. It blew farther and farther away from Rachel. She started crying. It blew a mile away and then it landed. Two days later a boy a mile away found the kite. His name was Billy. He was one so his mom was watching him when he picked it up. He tried to chew on it but his mom got him just in time. She started flying it and when it was in the air she let go of it. It blew far away. It blew all the way to Rachel's house. She found it and showed it to her mom and told her how she made it and it flew away and an hour later came back. The End
