Ms. Serendipitous Fake
by Natalie, 5th grade writer
Once there lived a lady named Ms. Serendipitous Fake. She was slightly plump for a 65-year old. When she was a little girl, all she wanted to do was dance. Her family was very poor, so Serendipitous couldn’t enroll in dance class.
When she looked out her bedroom window, she would see all the other girls dancing, and Serendipitous would start dancing in place. From that day on, dancing has been the only thing on her mind.
Serendipitous suddenly had an idea while she was sitting on her living room couch. She thought that from practicing her whole life she would probably be good at dancing. It wouldn’t cost her a single penny.
So the next morning, Serendipitous Fake went out on the sidewalk and started dancing. She brought a can and set it next to her. All of a sudden, people started coming up and putting paper money in the jar.
There was an old car parked nearby and Serendipitous got carried away and started dancing on it. Right then an angry man came storming out of his house as angry as a person could be. He opened his mouth and was going to say something really awful, but then he saw Serendipitous dancing. All of a sudden, his red, angry face turned into a smile. He put more money in the jar than anybody else.
That night when Serendipitous went home, she counted her money. When she was done, she counted enough money to pay a house bill. She was so excited! But she was also very tired.
That was way too much for a 65-year-old.
She did that every once in a while. Everybody loved her. Soon she got too old to dance, and she soon died. She is still remembered today.
