1010 - SALLY

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

The chipmunks were holding a raffLe and there were three winners. The rAffle manager was just announcing the winners and picked three slips of paper out of his black top hat. "The winners are..." he began in his booming voice, "Sally Hope, Remmy Wirehood and Lucy Pennyfarther! You will each take home 12 buckets bursting with walnuts, acorns, pine nuts and many more delicious nuts!".

This is my version:

"Let us All sally forth to the stores this early Boxing Day morning and see what bargains we can find!", exclaimed Aunt Bessie, waving her ancient rolled umbrella in the air. The younger ones in the family hadn't a clue what she was talking about, but it sounded exciting enough!
