The Bad Turn by Lily Trudgen


Lily - 4th Grade

            Once upon a time, in the magical dragon-filled woods, there lived the Dumbo Duck family. One summer day they had an adventure. But, wait, wait, wait. Let me tell you more about their family. Joseph, the dad is 40, Sweetie the mom is 37 and Gracie the duckling is 9. They lived happily in a little cottage right in the middle of their forest, never fearing the kind dragons.
           
One day Gracie was flying around a tree in boredom when she stumbled across an amazing apple. She picked it with her beak and washed it at the creek. She ate from the wonderful apple and POOF! She turned into a tree. Instantly the apple became whole again and floated back up into the tree.
           
Joseph and Sweetie searched fearfully in the woods for Gracie. They flew over the woods looking in every nook and cranny, but couldn’t find her. So Sweetie sat down, put her wings over her eyes and started crying hopelessly. Joseph came over and hugged her comfortingly with his wings.
           
Then Sweetie began to look up tearfully and pray when her eyes fell upon the beautiful apple. She flew up with speed in her wings and picked it. She gave the apple to Joseph and he ate it, POOF! Gracie quickly turned back into a duck. “I love you, guys,” Gracie said excitedly while flying in circles and doing flips in the air. And they all lived happily forever after and never ever ate apples again.
