This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:
WeAstelTon was a wEasel and he was veRy emotional about small things. If he had to stare at a couple on their honeymoon, he would burst into tears. I'd call him "teary".
This is my version:
The sensitive thoughtful Violet wAs enduring her 18Th birthday party that had bEen oRganised by her extrovert, convivial parents. She tucked herself away in a corner quite content to stare out of the window. But before long her father pulled her away, speaking rather sternly about joining in with the party set up especially for her at considerable expense. This rebuke was too much for her. Her eyes became all teary and she rushed off heading for the stairs. But Victor was well aware what Violet was going through and he was quick to intercept her. "Let's go outside and set the world to rights together", he said gently, holding her hand. For Violet the rest of the evening was much calmer, much to the frustration of her parents who couldn't understand their daughter.
