     I have double-spaced the text so that teachers can simply print it out and use it for exercises or for their own analysis.

      The worst day I had in my life was yesterday, 9/25/86. On 

the tire yesterday, I brused my behind. Now it hurts. Plus, I 

almost cracked my head on the top pole. The next thing that 

happened yesterday was the V.C.R. wouldn't record a show I 

wanted to watch. Then the most worst thing my cat got out and 

went in the ceuar. Then he jumped in another tunnel in the 

ceuar. Finally when we left he came out. I thought he would 

fall in the deep, deep, hole Then I had to take care of Mack. 

Boyy!!  Was he heavy Then I had homework. I was pooped 

at the end of the day! Yesterday, I was left in the car with my 

baby brother. When we were in the car it was raining, 

thundering, and lightning. As soon as Mark finished his bottle, 

he was scared to death. I was scared, too. I told myself 

"If dad doesn't come now, I'm going in with Mark." So I did. 

When I was out of the car, here comes my dad!  Whoo! I 

thought we were going to get hurt. But we didn't. What is your 

favorite gem? I had a great time yesterday. There's this hill 

next to my driveway, and when you go down it on your bike, 

it's like a roller coaster!  During the summer I had to go to 

playcamp.  One day at playcamp, we went to Kings Dominion. 

We got there by a Blue Bird Bus. When we got there we split 

into four groups. My group people were Diane, Tereasa, 

Matthew, and me. First we went on Smurf Mountain Roller

Coaster!  I sat with my best friend Tereasa. Boy! Was that 

fun! Then we went on the Diamond Falls Ride! We went up, 

up, up, and we turned and went down the slide, and Splash! I 

was soaked!  Then we went in the Troll Mines. I didn't look 

because I was afraid something would pop out in front of me. 

Then we went on the swings, Scooby-Doo, Fairis Wheel, 

played a game, climbed a net and when we got to the top 

Tereasa and I went down the giant tube slide, we were going to 

go on White Water Canion but it was closed. Then we got some 

lunch. Then we played one more game, and I won a Giant 

Pink Dog!  I'll bring him one day, just tell me when! 

Yesterday, my mom went to start a fire, and when she 

opened it, there was a big mouse! You see we have a cat 

and each time he comes in, we think he brings in a mouse or 

something and stores it somewhere.
