One day, Jack and Jill's mother sent to go get some water from the well. But while Jack was filling the bucket like a good boy, Jill was walking on the edge of the well, and she fell in! Well, Jack was so terrified, he ran home with the bucket of water in his hand. When he got home, he was so scared he couldn't speak for weeks on end. When he could speak, he told his mother what happened. She thought he was lying.
In the meantime, Jill found the well was empty, except an old mattress and a bucket of fresh fish. Jill had fallen on the mattress and ate the fish. Back home, Jack's mother had come to believe in Jack, because Jill was nowhere to be found. You see, no one had ever needed a ladder, so no one had one to get Jill out of the well. So the whole village came to the well. And everyone went fishing and got some water and other foods to feed Jill till she was big enough to climb out. Then one day, she climbed out. Then she and her family lived happily ever after.
The End.

Wonderful!
Very imaginative. I was surprised by the ending, I didn’t expect that she had to wait till she was grown to get out.
I liked it.
A very original take on a tired old story. It is very well written, with a surprise ending! I wonder, how did Jill feel about having to eat sushi and having to wait until she was grown to get out of the well?
My Brenna, ever the thinker. Great story and I too was surprised by the ending. But I guess if no ladder was to be found, she would have to wait. Thank goodness the towns people were able to feed her and give her water to drink.
Keep thinking and writing - I enjoyed your story very much.
Love always,
Grandma
Very nice!
I guess the other little girls in the town thought twice about not concentrating on the job at hand after that, huh?
My littlest boy loves to hear the Jack and Jill rhyme, but he insists that Jack fell down and broke his *crayons* rather than his crown. What will he think when I tell him what really became of Jill, I wonder!?
Poor Jill! I guess she learned her lesson though, huh?!
Great story! I wonder if she knows all the good things she missed out on while she was stuck in the well . . .
