Children's Stories

When you're having a child tell you a story, you never know what to expect. There is a story about a pumpkin patch that both of my sons have had to do for a homework assignment. Its funny to go back and read Jakob's after Andy's. Here is Jakob's first:

Scary Pumpkin Patch

Once upon a time, a pumpkin named Jack went off to a camping trip. And he saw a bear. And it frightened him away.
He came back and he lived again in the pumpkin patch. All the pumpkins ran away in a storm that came. Then Jack was lonely. Then he found his friends.
When he found his friends, they went off on a bear trip. A storm came and they went on a boat. Then the storm got bigger and bigger and then their boat sunk. They found land and forever they went off looking for treasure.
They found lots of gold. They were filled with joy. And then they went off for another treasure hunt. And then they ended up in a forest. A bear found them. They ran away back into their patch.
The next day they explored again. They explored for giraffes. They found the biggest giraffe of them all.
The End.

So this year it was Andy's turn. As he doesn't like scary things(although 2 years ago he said he liked the "darkness" on Twitches...), he put a slightly different twist on the story. And here is his:

A Scary Pumpkin Patch

A scarecrow scares you away from the pumpkin patch. When you ask him to let you go, he lets you go. The patch is scary because there are scarecrows all around the patch. And the pumpkins are alive and they stare at you. But they are happy pumpkins because they like to be jack-o-lanterns. There are also happy flowers because they like to be flowers and like to be watered.

I love to write stories and so its fun to see their imagination come to life!! Hopefully they can continue to tell and write stories in the future. :)
