A story

My daughter just finished third grade. School let out a couple of weeks ago, and I just had time to go through some of her papers. She had a writing portfolio, and some of her stuff was really cute. I asked her if I could post one of her stories and she said yes. This one was written January 4, 2005. They were working on Transitional, which is the first, then, finally stuff. I left the punctuation the same as she had it. And when commenting keep in mind she isn't quite nine yet. ;)

Down in a Pit is a Spaceship

Hello, my name is Mallisa Love. One day I went to Outer Space. I want to tell you about it. First, I was only about seven years old when I fell into a pit. Next, when I got to the bottom of the pit there was a huge spaceship right in front of my face when I looked up! Then, I didn't know how to open it, so I kicked it and all of a sudden it opened up. Last, when it opened up steam came out of it! So I went inside of it. I saw hundreds of buttons everywhere! I didn't know which one to push first. I finally found the right button and pushed it. I pushed it and I went to space. It was so fun that day! The end.
