    John was sad. He heard his grandmother had just passed away. His brother took a bad tackle and is on crutches. His other grandma had been divorced two times and had just became a widow. 3rd worst of all, his grandpa had an amputated leg and had just fell off the bed on his good leg during nighttime in a nursing home and tried to pull himself up with his power scooter and accidently turned it on, and it ran over his leg and he had to crawl to the door, open it and scream help until somebody came. That’s why John was sad.

    John came in with a very gloomy frown on his face.The teacher asked what was wrong he said”i fell off my bike on the way here and hurt myself”.The teacher told him to go to the nurse to put medicen on his knee and his elbow.His teacher gave him a note and he went to the nurse to get medicen.The nurse put medicen on his knees and elbows and he was very itchy feeling.In gym he sat out because he hurt his leg so he couldn’t run. At recess they were playing duck,duck,goose.John really wanted to play but he couldn’t run very fast he could barley get so much as walk.John just went to the bucket like a solw turtle and pulled a bag of toys.Little army men the size of pato chips.Army tanks bigger than a snicker bar.John made two little army teams each the same amount of people and tanks.He made people fight then he found a ball and took an army man.He played Indiana Jones. The ball was a big bolder the size of a chip.He made Indiana jones run away from the rock.It was time to go in for all the kids. When John went in it was time to go so he packed his bag got in lineas quiet as a mouse because he knew if everyone was quiet they could leave. It was hard to walk outside but his friends helped him walk out .They called John’s name and went to the number cone they called and he got in his car like a happy child who just got a new bike.

    John was very sad. He had nothing to do. He had the last of his favorite cereal for breakfast, but before he took a single bite an earthquake hit and his cereal spilled all over his shirt. By the time he changed shirts it was lunch time. John decided to invite Greg over to his house. They ate pizza, but before they took a bite lightning hit and the power went out. John’s poodle jumped on the table and the pizza landed on his shirt. After that John and Greg played fooseball, the ball popped up and hit John in the nose, ouch!

The teacher took a good look at his face the sound of his voice made her curious and the look on his face.”Whats wrong” asked the teacher? “My brother pushed me off the side walk and teased me as much as he could”he said. She heared the sound of his voice then she cleared her throat nd spoke.She asked if he felt well he said no so she called his parents and they came and got him.So everyone could tell John was sad.
    THE END!!!
