Segments from Claire's Letter

Dear Grandma,
     On recess I like to play with the nice boys and do their games.  And sometimes I play horses with Sara and Emma and Camber.  I like playing with Natalia and Camilla too.  When I play with them I like to do a game where one of us is the troll and the others get to choose what forest animal they want to be.  We play that because we did Three Billy Goats Gruff for our school play.  I was a bunny.  I loved saying my part.  My part was "We could cross over the rickety rackety bridge.  The grass is tall and green over there."  One of the blackbirds threw up at close to the end of the play.  (What I mean by "throw up" is barf.)  It was really gross.
....
      In study hall I really like making books.  I once wrote a book about a ghost named Todd and a ghost named Alli.  Todd ate Alli because he was at a funeral and there was no food.  He didn't want to eat the dead ghost and so he ate Alli.

Love,
Claire Margaret Bevans
