Spotlighting Young Writers: Emma Culler

By: Emma Culler, 2nd Grade

On a warm, sunny day, it seemed like a normal day in the Gerald Jungle. Poppy the Sheep was just walking around, minding her business until something terrible happened. She walked right into one of Sabrena’s big webs that was strung between two trees with big blue leaves. She usually makes them over on the bushes who turn into hedgehogs. 

When they’re over in the bushes, Poppy is able to see them. But, since they were in between the trees, she couldn’t escape them. Even though Poppy thought her luck ran out today, her friend, Sam the Squirrel was walking through the jungle as well.

“Yikes! Looks like you’re caught up there,” said Sam.

“Could you help me out here?” said Poppy.

Sam thought hard about what he could do to save his friend. He was chewing on an acorn when it hit him.

“I know! I’ll use my teeth to break you free,” said Sam.

He then chewed Poppy free and to celebrate, they decided to grab all their friends and head to the beach!
