The Giant Mango
By: Tymoteusz, Preston, and Grayson
Grade: 3-4
Once in a small town at a daycare center beside a mango tree, a troublemaker decided it might be fun to knock over a big bag of fertilizer. He knocked it over on the roots of a mango tree. Soon a mango started growing and growing until it pulled the tree right out of the ground. Then the giant mango started rolling out of control.
The giant mango rolled right inside the nearby daycare center, causing the diapers to explode all over the place. One even exploded right into Tym’s face. He started crying, “My face.” He grabbed the diaper and chucked it on the ground, but then the great “beast” appeared before him. Tym said, “Easy big fellow,” but it was too late. He was as flat as paper.
After smashing through houses and crashing through walls, the monstrous mango suddenly left the destroyed town, heading straight for the town power well. Rolling at a high speed, it crashed into the power well and tipped it over.
Creak ! Kaboom! Mango was flying everywhere, accelerating at a high speed.
While sitting on a bench, a grandma watched the mango explode into the honey bucket. Sparks hit her head and she screamed, “Fire, fire, fire!” When the firemen arrived, they shot their squirt guns at the mango, causing it to absorb the water and pop into millions of pieces.
At last, the little troublemaking kid had to pickup all the pieces of the mango that had exploded all over the town. Then the little bad kid had an idea to sell the pieces of mango on e-Bay. His plan worked and he used the money to fix up the town with his new power tools. After fixing up the town, everyone lived happily ever after…well…at least until the bad kid bought more fertilizer.
