My mother and I were coming home from buying new shoes. I had new
sandals. She had new pumps. We were walking to our house from the
bus. We were looking at everyone’s tulips. She was saying she liked the
red tulips and I was saying I liked yellow ones.
Then we came to our block. Right outside our house stood two big fire
engines. I could see lots of smoke. Tall orange flames came out of the
roof.
“Can you picture it?!”

All the neighbors stood in a bunch across the street. Mama

grabbed my hand and we ran. My uncle Sandy saw us and
ran to us. Mama yelled, ‘Where’s my grandma?’

Story 2: I was walking through the grocery store one day with my mom. All of a
sudden, she yelled out, "Watch out for that cart!" I was starting to turn around
to see what she was talking about, but the cart was coming too quickly. I yelled
out, "Oh no! Stop!" as the car came crashing into me. As I landed in a heap on
the floor I screamed, "Ouch, watch out next time!" It was such a disaster.
