"Pool Parties and Puddles"
by

I go to school at Twin Maples, which is a boarding school. Yesterday, something really fun happened. And I will tell you what it was.

It was a bright, sunny day. I was in my dorm, talking to my best friend, Tara Cathrine Cummings. We were planning a great pool party when suddenly, BOOM! The bright, sunny weather turned to a thunderstorm. "Well, so much for the pool party," I said sadly. "Wait," said Tara, "We can't have a pool party, but we can play in the puddles!" "Yeah!" I said. First we asked Mizz Kink (our very nice teacher) if we could. Most teachers would say no, but not Mizz Kink.

So we played in the puddles for a long time, with everyone at school joining us!
