This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
Rhianna was at a paRtner’s disco parTy. The music had just started and aLl her friends began to twist and twirl, all except her. The invitation had said:
Dear Rhianna, You are invited to Dorothy’s disco party. You will need a glittery outfit, sparkly high heels, your hair up in a cute, tight, plaited bun and, a (smudged word). Dorothy
Rhianna was sure that the smudged word on the invitation had said parrot. And now her friends had started dancing and she didn’t have a partner! Not to mention a caged parrot on the snack table that she had brought! The caged bird launched into a piercing trill and also tried to steal the bowl of cheese curls.
This is my version:
In the village Lived a naTuRe-loving woman called Maggie. Not only did she have a lovely, well-tended garden, but she kept bees and created specialist areas in the garden to encourage a variety of wildlife. She had built up a close relationship with the garden robin who was usually close to her. This year, when she paused to have her afternoon cuppa out of her thermos flask, she managed to train the robin to make a trill sound on command. Her friends were impressed. Next year she also trained the robin to do a twirl on command. Word got around and one day, to her surprise, there was a reporter and tech crew at her door asking for an interview and to film her with the robin.
