The Important Decision

Right when Mary Walters looked at it she thought it was the one.  It was a book called “The New Mother” but it was horrible.  She still needed to find a book report book.

The next day Mary went to the college library. She had to pick a book that mentioned a baby or a child.  Her favorite author was Steven Clowskie.  She looked in the Steven Clowskie section.  She found a book that was titled “Baby Boy”.  She picked that one.

The book was about a boy who was born after a thunderstorm.  The book told about his life and his job.

 “Hmmm?  That’s weird.  My 13-year-old brother was born after a thunderstorm.  Oh well,” she said.

Mary was sitting at her desk and was just zooming with her pencil.  She broke five pencils. 

Her class had to do a report by the next day. The worst part of the book report was the coloring.  The book had no pictures.  She started drawing and discovered it wasn’t so hard.

She drew a baby boy, and she drew a big thunderstorm. Next she drew a grown up boy.  She also drew a cowboy, because that was his job when he was grown up.

The next day they had to hand in the book report.  The teacher graded it, and her report was the best!  She got to keep the book.

Mary got home and told her mom. Her mom turned around and said, “I knew you would do well.  Your dad wrote that book but put in different names.  That book was based on your brother.”

Mary’s dad got home and Mary told her dad all about the book.  Her dad was proud of her and knew she would like the book.

They went out to eat because Mary did a wonderful job.  They went to Hu Hot.  They all thought the food was very good.  For dessert they went to Maggie Moo’s.
