"Irland's Big Dance"
by

O
nce upon a time there live a young girl (7) who lived in Ireland.

One day, her Grandma told her about the Dance for young girls under 10, first all the children had to sign up for the dance. Next the dance instructor took everyone to the "store of that is not said". Then each little girl would pick out a costume and a dinner dress.

 

The little girl wanted to do this so bad, so she asked her Grandma if she knew where she could sign up. Her Grandma didn't know her family was too poor. The girl went to everyone she could think of to ask where she could sign up for the dance, but no one knew. She finally went to the park for a walk, and she past the bulletin board, and she saw a poster for the dance. She was so happy; she ripped the sight off the board and ran home.

When she got home, she asked if she could use the phone to call Leslie Monte Lafayette at 1-624-132-7089. Her Grandma said that she may. So she told Leslie that she wanted to sign up for the dance. Leslie said, "Yes of coarse, meet me at the 'store of that is not said' at 16 hours." the girl said, "Yes I will come. See you there".

She was so happy she ran to the store. She looked around till 4:00 when she saw Leslie. Leslie told her to buy a dinner dress and a costume, so the girl did. When she brought the clothes home, her Grandma said, "I probably have to teach you the Irish jig for tomorrow.

All night she tried to teach the little girl while they drank hot chocolate. The girl finally did the Irish jig almost perfectly.



The End
