The Poor Man by Megan Cooper (age 6)

Will he ride his pony? No! He will not ride his pony. He will ride a car. Yes! He will ride his pony. He will ride his car and he became rich.

He went to a place where there was monsters. So he screamed and he ran.

The poor man had a wonderful time. For he loved when he rode the pony. The End.



That was how she read it, now this is how she wrote it:

The Por Man
will he rid his pone no
he will not rid his pone he will rid a
kor Yes he will rid his pone
he will rid his kor
and he bkam rih

he want too a plas war
ver was menadrs so he
sgremd and ran

Th por man had a wandfl
tim for he lavd wa he rod

Meg is six and just starting to read, but she uses everything she knows to spell words the best she can. I think her spelling skills are pretty impressive! (Except she should know how to spell "the"!)

This is a very poetic story. It seems almost as if the poor man is dreaming. I'm glad that he had a good time riding his pony.

Grandma is always amazed at what her grandchildren think of.

This is a beautiful poem (story).

Great job Megan and keep writing.

Love Grandma
