Jack's Dictations to Dad

Hoppy the Frog

Once upon a time there was a frog named Hoppy the Frog.

And then he was hopping all around.

And then his mommy said ‘You obey the rules.’

And then he said ‘Yes.’

And then he walked by his self.

And then he was mean to someone.

And then an eagle was flying and it was the police.

And then he said ‘Oh no.  What we gonna do, let’s think.’

And then he think think and had a great idea.

And then he called the police and told them something and was so happy.

And then his mommy said ‘I saw you on the computer and you lied to me.’

And then he run run.

And that was the story of Hoppy the Frog.

Pirate Story

Once upon a time there were two pirates: Pirate Jack and Pirate Finn.

And they went sailing the seven seas.

And then they went to an island.

And then the bad pirates came.

And then they said ‘What we gonna do?’

And then they had a great idea.

Their sneak up to them and then shoot an arrow in their butt.

And then they jump on the pirate ship.

And then the pirate thing turned around everywhere.

And then they dig and dig to hear clank…

And you know what was in there?  Gold and candy!

And that was the story of pirate Jack and Pirate Finn.

(Finn would like to clarify the contents of the treasure in Jack’s story: “Gowd, Wessie Cups, and Wowy Pops”)
