1003 - SPELT

This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:

"OUT!" beLlowed Miss Mannering sTErnly. "I cannot have this behaviour in my class, it is unnecessary for owls to behave this way!". Miss Mannering was taking class Four in English - and Peter has just thrown an aeroplane at the board while Miss Mannering had turned to write something. Once Peter had left the room, Miss Mannering mumbled to the class, "bad owl". That afternoon, Peter walked home and jumped over the style that led to his house and while he was doing that he noticed that someone had spelt "HELLO" in the mud.

This is my version:

Len lived on the ouTskirts of thE town. At the bottom of his garden there was a stile that took him into the farmer's field. This year the farmer was growing spelt in it. Len couldn't help the temptation to break off a head so he could find out what it was like.
