From the Neighborhood School writers’ corner in The Paper, March 1978. Original student wording, names and printed age information are preserved.
Once upon a time, the biggest chocolate factory in the world was holding an auction. They were making so much chocolate that the factory blew up. Right that instant, chocolate was sweeping the country.
About ten miles away, a boy was fishing, when he got swept away by chocolate! It was his most exciting day, although it was the thirteenth of July and everybody says Friday the 13th is unlucky.
He swam with the chocolate through three barns, two house, one pasture, and around the world until he came to his house. He lived happily ever after, but could never look at chocolate again.
