Writing Strands Paper 3

                        Chapter 1                                 Camden      11-21-14


An elephant named Freddy, was in the jungle that had random animals.   Freddy was a big boy elephant.  Freddy’s trunk was so long it sometimes touched the ground!  Freddy was marching around in the jungle when he saw a boy chipmunk and a boy raccoon.  Freddy thought sadly,  “Man, I must be a giant.”  Then Freddy sighed and sat down.  The chipmunk and the raccoon saw that he was depressed, so they asked him his name and why he was sad.  Freddy said,  “My name is Freddy and I am sad because I am a giant.”  The raccoon and the chipmunk said their names at the same time.  “You first,” said the raccoon.  “Ok, my name is John.”  “And I’m Smelly.”  “You don’t smell smelly,” said Freddy.  “That is my name,” said Smelly.  “Uh, um,  yah,  we will think of something to help you with that.”  said John.  “Really?  Thanks!”  said Freddy.  “No problem.”  said John.  “It should be what everyone should do.” said Smelly.  John and Smelly started to think.

  “Oh I know!” said Smelly who was beaming very big.  “Let’s go to the zoo and show Freddy elephants, raccoons, and chipmunks.”  “That’s a good idea, Smelly.”  exclaimed John.  “Freddy, do you know if there are any zoos around?”  asked Smelly.  “I can see one, Smelly.” said Freddy, who was pointing at the zoo.  “Then what are we waiting for?”  asked John.  Freddy, John,  and Smelly headed over to the zoo.   Smelly showed Freddy the raccoons.  “That is what I am.”  said Smelly.  Then Smelly showed Freddy the elephants.  “That is what you are.”  said Smelly.  While Smelly was showing Freddy the elephants and raccoons, John was looking for a chipmunk.  Soon enough, he found one.  John showed Freddy the chipmunk and explained that that was what he was.  “Oh…,  it is just I am big and you are small?” asked Freddy.  “Exactly.”  said John.  “Thanks guys!”  exclaimed Freddy,  who had twice as big as a big smile.

Chapter 3




  “Can we be best friends?”  asked Freddy.  “Sure,  if you help me change my nickname, - I hate my name.”  said Smelly.  “Smelly,  you are now…, Striped!”  said John.  “Thanks John!” said Striped,  who was happily smiling.  “And now we are best friends!”  said Freddy.  Then,  John,   Striped, and Freddy went walking back into the jungle with big smiles on their  faces.
