On a first-rate afternoon, a fat old grandma sailed peacefully in the water. She
was accompanied by her young grandson. He was fishing. Surprisingly, the boat,
which was old and rusty, did not have paddles. Grandma and grandson were happy
because they were on a clear sunny pond. Waiting patiently for a bite, the boy baited
his hook. When he felt a tug on his rod, he instantly reeled it in. He was excited! He
was nervous. He was amazed!
The boy was happy. The fish, which was the first fish he had ever caught, was
wiggly because he didn’t like being on a hook. Suddenly, the Herculean string broke
and the fish fell as fast as a crashing jet to the bottom of the boat. Grandma and the
boy heard a significant sound. “Hey! What’s up? It’s a splendid day, isn’t it?,” asked the
fish. When the fish said this, the boy looked down and noticed the fish. The fish talked!
Grandma screamed. The boy shuddered in disbelief. Talking, the fish said, “What?! I
am only a fish that speaks British!” Until now, the boy had never heard of a talking fish.
The boy, hearing a loud crack, suddenly fell into the water with his fat grandma
and the British speaking fish! “HELP! Help! I can’t sw-sw-iimmm!,” yelped the grandma.
Excitedly, the boy swam toward his enormous grandma because he wanted to save her
just like they do on Super Hero Marathon. He admired superheroes. When he reached
his grandma, she cried, “Seriously, wait, hold on a second.....I’m FLOATING!” For once,
the grandma was pleased that she was as large as a whale. Swimming fast, the boy
drug his grandma beside him like a tugboat. Grandma and her tired grandson, who
looked back and waved to the British speaking fish, cruised peacefully back to shore
and spent the rest of their afternoon by the water.

Pryce has participated in a writing class this year called IEW or Institute for Excellence in Writing. The coursework is amazing and his teacher is more than amazing! (A friend, not me!) This has truly been my favorite part about homeschooling Pryce this year - writing. He LOVES it! He gets so excited when he is developing his stories and he just laughs at the content...and the more he can add to a paper, such as alliteration or similes or short sentences, the better! It is challenging and I love seeing that he is up for the challenge! So proud of this big guy!
