Original Story by Emily, age 11:
On day, Jayson was sitting in class, and he looked over at his best friend, Lainie. She was always humming that annoying song! "Can you please stop?" asked Jayson. "Oops, sorry." said Lainie. "STOP TALKING!!!" said Mrs.Smith, the strictest teacher EVER. That day, when Jayson got home, He told his mom about Lainie and Mrs.Smith. "You know honey, you should start a band with her. You know how to play guitar." Jayson thought about it, but later denied the request. A few days later, Lainie asked him if he wanted to start a band. Jayson said yes and got George and Stephen to join. They were a huge success! One day when they were on tour Lainie started humming AGAIN. This time Jayson didn't mind. But George did. George left the band! He started another though, but HE started humming, so then one of his band members left. It happened again, and again, and again until everyone in the whole entire world was in a band! Also Barry likes marshmellows.
THE END
Statement from the Author:
"I sometimes hum to myself, and I wanted to share the story thinking maybe other kids did as well! I am so excited about my song being included in the new album!"
