IN CLASS SILLY STORY
One sunny afternoon Tess turned into a pink fairy armadillo and traveled to Africa. She had a sweatshirt and pants on, and of course, she had her phone. She was as big as a wooden horse and had a long snout. Suddenly something was sneaking up in the grass behind her. It was a hyena! The hyena tried to eat her. She curled up, and her shell protected her. The hyena’s sharp teeth couldn’t get past her thick shell. So the hyena had to dig up the ground for fruit. He didn’t like the fruit so he got in his jeep and drove away. He had a very hairy long mustache and a tour guide hat. Tess uncurled out of her shell and ran to the fruit, ate it, and turned back into Tess.
