A little story for you

Hello again!

Today I have a little story for you. This was an assignment for my Children’s Literature class. We had been talking about religious stories and how there were several different versions of those stories depending on the author, age group and other things.  We were told to write our own version of Noah’s Ark for a particular age group. I chose to write for a group of 8-10 year olds. I’m posting this on here because my teacher really liked it (yes, I have gold star syndrome) and I am particularly proud of it.

Grampa Noah’s Story

Gather ‘round and let me tell of the day God told me to build an ark. Y’see, times had gotten quite rotten and God had it made up that he would make it right again. So he told yer Grampa Noah to build and build and gather and gather. So that I did! Two by two they came. Yer pa’s, they helped me lots they did! When the doors closed the rain did start a-pourin’! Yer lovely gramama and ma’s, theycooked might good meals fer forty days and forty nights. Mighty good meals! Then at last the did stop and yer grampa Noah sent out a rave. That bugger came back empty-beaked he did! So the next week yer grampa Noah sent out a pretty lil dove and he brought back a bright green olive branch! Ooohhh how we danced and praised God! We landed the next week and what d’ya know?! There was a band o’ color in the sky. God’s promise, y’see, that a flood like that would never happen again. Now off to yer chores youngins!

Hahaha now I’m completely embarrassed but I hope you enjoyed it anyways.
