The Tale of Sunny Bunny and Cotton Ball

Written by Lilly (edited by mom)

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sunny Bunny. One day she went for a walk. On her walk she saw a fox, a fox with fox pups! Sunny Bunny was scared. So she ran until she found a house.

Sunny Bunny tapped on the door. Out came a girl named Cotton Ball! Sunny Bunny and Cotton Ball had tea and some pie.

When it was time for Sunny Bunny to go home Cotton Ball said, "Wait! What about the foxes?"

Sunny Bunny said, "Oh No! I can't go home!"

Cotton Ball had an idea! She told Sunny Bunny to wear a coat of kitchen utensils in case the foxes go after her. That way she would have weapons and a coat of armor to protect herself.

Sunny Bunny liked the idea so the two friends said farewell to each other and Sunny Bunny went home. The end!

Test on the OO sound...

Going through Lilly's take-home assignments I happened to find a test she did. The test was to write one sentence using words with the OO sound...Lilly always has more to say (taken from actual test, which she got an A on):

I went to my room and saw a big pink balloon. I went to the moon and had food there, too. I went to my room, it looks like a ZOO!

LOVE GONE LOST (about a dog)

I fell down, my cries...cause of that. But by the time I went back to life in my home by the sea...Love makes me happy but sad makes me sad. Mad makes me mad. (Ooooo) Come back! I am sad but, just...I can't feel my love! (Ooooo) There you are back in the room! Just go! (I can't see my love.) Just go! (I can't hear my love!) Baby, come back! Love. The end!

Edited by mom to add an interpretation: First, a synopsis...Lilly was watching My Dog Skip with me and I forgot that it had some deep stuff in it...she was shocked when the little boy hit his dog and then when the dog gets attacked by the bad man and ends up in the hospital she was struck with every emotion imaginable...so here is the interpretation in quotes:

I fell down my cries...cause of that. (she literally fell to her knees when she started to cry)

But by the time I went back to life in my home by the sea...(not so sure what this means but I'm thinking by the time she gathered her emotions she started to cry again)

(And basically the rest is self explanatory...she is explaining her emotions on how those scenes made her feel...I'm very proud of her because this is mature stuff coming from a 6 yr old and she was able to verbalize it in such a creative and deeply personal way!)
