Pat the Cat

While we celebrated Dr. Seuss' contributions to early literacy, I challenged the students to write stories using 50 words or less. This was the same challenge Dr. Seuss' publisher gave him and the result was Green Eggs and Ham. Now, after scrutiny from a panel of non-biased judges (OK, it was only my 12 year old, but it wasn't me), I present to you the winning entry: Pat the Cat by Daniel, Austin, Wanyae, Quentin, Jadan, and Shawn. Edited by Mrs. Plato.

Pat's a cat,

and he's fat.

Here is a story

of the fat cat.

Once ago

Pat the fat cat

ate a huge rat.

So then he swallowed Dr. Seuss,

and after that

he swallowed a moose.

The moose never came out,

so Pat just walked himself out.

And once the fat cat never came back

(he swallowed himself).

So that Pat

the cat

never came back.
