The Strawberry Band
by Nathaniel, age 5, California
One day there was a band that takes place on a farm. When they play concerts, they turn into strawberries. When they are done, they turn back into humans.
One day they were at the beach swimming too deep. Then a shark ate the band. When they were inside the sharks tummy, they played music and turned into strawberries. Everyone knows sharks are allergic to strawberries, so the shark throwed up fromThe strawberry band.
The band was so excited they said hurray, let’s go back to the concert hall. When they were back stage they said let’s write a new song called everyone knows sharks are allergic to strawberries, so they did.
Then they played the song from the stage right on the first set for the first song. Then right after, they played everyone knows sharks are allergic to strawberries 2. Everyone in the audience didn’t know about this song called everyone knows sharks are allergic to strawberries 2. But they liked it very much.
After the concert, they had Brookies and lemonade for everyone at the show. The food was free and everyone enjoyed it so much.
The band took pictures of band members with the audience. Then hugged each other and went back to the farm to sleep.
The end.
Our adaptation of “The Strawberry Band” was written and produced by Brendan O’Grady, with vocal direction by Brendan O’Grady and Jack Mitchell.
The Angel Pigs
by Olive, Age 8, Massachusetts
Once upon a time there were five flying angel pigs who lived in the clouds. They owned a business of making beds out of clouds. They wanted to sell their beds to Earth but they did not know how. One day one of the pigs said, “Why don’t we use a car to get down to Earth?” So they tried it. It did not work. They tried an airplane. They tried stacking each other on top of each other. They tried a diving board. But none of them worked. One day they decided to take a hay and pig wagon. It was a long drive so they listened to podcasts with headphones on. It was a very long drive, but it worked! They went to the market and sold their beds! But when they were all out of beds, they had to go back up to the clouds. Then they got more beds and did it again. They were very happy! THE END.
