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

      My saddest day I ever had is when My dog got hit by a car. 

It happened when I was playing ball. It was at night when 

Fracles got hit. Fracles broke lose, and ran down to go to the 

apple trees. And he got hit when he was crossing the road. 

And whoevery hit Fracles did not stop. And then a man saw 

him laying by the road. He saw my playing ball and yelled up 

to my and said is this your dog. And I ran down the driveway 

and I said Yes. And I told dad. And I was crying. I feel good 

today. But my arms don't feel too well. You see I fell out of 

the tree last night. My foot sliped and I fell.  It didn't feel very 

good. But I didn't cry. But when I had the car wrick I didn't 

cry ether. I feel good today. But my eye hurts. I can't see very 

well. I was at the brandi's and my eye was getting pinked. 

And in the morning when I woke up it got stuck. I had to 

pull it open. My best friend is Stephany. I don't now why but 

I just like to play with her. Will see I liked every sinse third 

grade. I just think she is fun to play with. Like I said before!
