Page 27: Editing a short story


Answers will vary, for example:
One day, a boy called Fred went for a walk in the
park. He was happy to play on the swings for a
while, but then he glanced up and gleefully noticed
the see-saw. He really wanted to play on this but
knew that he couldnt on his own. He desperately
needed someone to play with. A see-saw only works
if there are two people on it. What could he do?
After a while of perching miserably on one end
of it, he suddenly spotted a boy ambling slowly
along the pavement towards the park. When
the boy finally entered the park, Fred demanded
to know if hed like to play on the see-saw. The
boy replied gratefully that he did, so clambered
clumsily on the other end. However, before he was
ready, Fred pushed down heavily on his legs and
sent the boys end of the see-saw up to the sky.
The boy fell off awkwardly and cried loudly. Fred
rushed to help him because he had bumped his
elbow badly and it was bleeding slightly. Fred put
a tissue on it as it was only a small cut, and then
suggested shyly they play gently on the swings
instead. The spent the rest of the time enjoying the
swings and had a delightful afternoon.

The Cookie Kid
By Holly Caplin
Robin Worth (11) of Middleton, Illinois, USA has
been amazing his classmates with his new-found
skills in the kitchen. Robin has been making a
huge success of a new cookie business he has
set up.
It all started earlier this year, says the plucky
youngster, when we had to make cookies for a
school project.
The young boy loved cooking them so much
that he decided to do it again when he got home
from school.
Word of mouth
After his early experiences in the classroom, Robin
began to sell his cookies at a local caf nearby to
where he lives.
The cookies this boy makes are AMAZING, says
local caf owner Ang Li. Customers couldnt get
enough!
Robins cookies sold out in one day, causing Ang
to ask the boy to make him another batch.
Soon word of Robins cookies spread across
Middleton, and other caf owners wanted to sell
them too.
Charity
Robin decided early on that half of the money he
made would go to charity. I support a different
charity each month, says Robin. That way
everyone gets a share.
Robin at work in his family kitchen
He has now donated money to seven different
charities, ranging from the African Well Fund, to
a local homelessness charity in Illinois.
Robin will never stop looking to the future
though. He plans to expand his range of cookies
and is thinking about moving his work space out
of the family home, where he has been baking.

One evening, after school, John and Chan were
kicking a football around in the road outside.
They were laughing and joking, and enjoying
themselves.
Pass it over here! shouted Chan as he ran over
towards the fence on the other side of the street.
John kicked the ball hard, and it sailed into the
air. He gasped as the ball went right over the
fence into the garden of the house! He and Chan
stood, rooted to the spot, as the ball disappeared.
Then they turned to stare at each other as the
sound of breaking glass rang in their ears.
What should they do? John wondered. Should
they run? Should they pretend that nothing had
happened? Chan came running over.
What are we going to do? he gasped.
Im not sure, John bit his lip. What should he do?

He made up his mind. He would go over and

would come and own up or run away.
