Sample writing
Lucy said, “It might be the wind because the wind on the island was so heavy that could blow the basket away.”
Lily didn’t agree with Lucy. She said, “The wind couldn’t blow the basket that far. It might be a monkey because monkeys are naughty and smart. Besides, they like eating snacks.”
Then Jim said, “It can’t be a person since there isn’t anyone on this lonely island except us.”
All of them took part in looking for the basket along the way. Suddenly, Bruce shouted, “Look, a monkey is eating on the tree. It’s our basket.” Unluckily, the food was nearly eaten up by the monkey.
At last, the children had to go back home early since they were so hungry.
