Darrin's Report

Darrin sat in his seat, waiting nervously. He sweat and sweat. He got a tissue to wipe it away. "Darrin," Mr. Fin called out. Darrin wiped himself clean, he had to go up-front to say his report. He walked to the back of the room and pulled up a red wagon with a sheet on top of lump inside it.
"My report," he started, "Is on the community." He pulled off the sheet, and there was a model of the community.
Here's what he said:

"Our town is named, Frig Gina, after the founder, Freg Ginagig. Here we have many attractions, like, The Children's Museum and the Seaweed Restaurant. Did you know this restaurant is the most famous in the tank? Here the most popular sea animal is the seahorse, like you Alan. Our Lot-o-Tanks County leader, Henry Griffin, is a seahorse. We have a lot of neighborhoods here in Frig Gina. JustFrance St. in the Yucko neighborhood has the most houses. 20 down each side.  I would say Frig Gina is the best community ever!"

  1. Hi Beth,
    I guess we probably share a name, hey?!
    I am here via your Dad's blog and so glad I came!
    Your writing reminds me of a project I had to do in library school (I am a librarian) where I had to create a city and the library in it. Very fun!
    I look forward to reading another one of your stories! :)
