Bad Case of Wings
There was a girl named Suzie. She had long hair and loved chicken wings. But her friends did not. So one day she was at school and when she got their everybody started to tease her because she was the shape of a chicken wing. Her hair also turned into hot sauce. Since she was distracting the class, she got sent home. When her mom came to pick her up from school, she was shocked. So when Suzie got home she got sent to her room to rest in her bed. Soon professionals came and did everything they could, but nothing worked. The next day an old lady came in and said she could help. She went to Suzie’s room and the lady tried to give her some chicken wings, but Suzie refused. So the lady walked out of the room slowly. Suzie couldn’t resist the good smell of chicken wings. So she said “wait!” and the lady walked back in and said “I knew you liked them.” So Suzie ate some and when she did everything was back to normal.
