Joshua's composition

Joshua and I loved the books on 'Mr Putter and Tabby' by Cynthia Rylant and Arthur Howard. We would borrow all the series on 'Mr Putter and Tabby' in the library whenever we could find them. Mr Putter is an old man who lives with his fine cat Tabby. Mrs Teaberry, an elderly lady who lives next door with her good dog Zeke is a good friend of Mr Putter. They liked doing things together and many cute adventures in the series came out of them doing things together.

After reading so many books about Mr Putter and Tabby, I encouraged Joshua to write a simple story about them, which he did. And here goes his story on 'Mr Putter and Tabby Fly the Rocket' (some grammar mistakes corrected by me)...

1. Good Things
Mr Putter and his fine cat Tabby were happy because they were going to the moon in a rocket. Mr Putter was going for a trip to the moon. He phoned Mrs Teaberry and told her that he was going to the moon. Mrs Teaberry was happy to go to the moon too.

2. Money
The rocket trip to the moon cost one dollar and forty-one cents. Two hours later, Mr Putter and Tabby, Mrs Teaberry and her good dog Zeke were in the rocket. And then the countdown began. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and zero...blast off!

3. Rocket Trip
Mr Putter and Mrs Teaberry were enjoying the ride. One hour later, they reached the moon. They had some moon rock shooters to shoot the rocks. They had shot ninety-nine moon rocks.

4. Back Home
By the time they finished shooting moon rocks, they had two hundred and ninety-six moon rocks. They got back to the rocket and flew back home. On the way home they ate some ice-cream soda. When they got home, they had a little nap.

The End.
