Halloween Spook

The following is a story written by one of my students who is a third grader. I will soon add his biography. But his story is so good I wanted to give him credit ASAP.

The Halloween Spook
Once there were two kids walking down a crowded street by an abandoned house. Then a ghost snatched one of the kids. Then I saw people being transformed into werewolves who began to chase me. So I ran to my house. When I put the key in the lock, the key broke. I was lucky, I had a key to the basement. So I opened the basement door. Then I got in the basement and locked it. Then I saw a witch in the basement!!
The End
