This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
Simpton was in his 1 bEdroom home cutting geese with a shiny knife. Back then, a phone hadn’t been invented. Simpton lived with his best friend, Spencer who was a very religious person. Spencer had a strict schedule, saying the Lord’s Prayer every single day, even on his birthday! He was just in the middle of “…for thine is the kingdom…”, when a piece of goose went flying through the air and hit him in the face!
This is my version:
Kathy and Ern had decided a few years ago to have a flock of geese, though why they did, neither could remember. Christmas was approaching and someone had to kill one of the geese (Molly by name). Both Kathy and Ern dithered and tried to persuade the other one to do it. Molly was in a cage and the knife was on the table. "This task is thine", said Kathy, "it's the man's job". Reluctantly Ern approached the cage, but at that moment the phone rang and, quick as a flash, Ern dashed to answer it. Although it was only a cold sales call, Ern made out it was important and needed him to go to the rescue. He jumped in the car and sped away. Poor Kathy had to tackle the murderous deed and set to to prepare the dinner. Strangely Ern appeared just as the meal was cooked! They drank a toast to Molly during the meal, but Ern dreaded trying to explain to Kathy where he had been.
