The New Girl In School

I bet you've heard lots of lessons,and probably learned a couple the hard way.This legend is about a bad judgment.

It all started when a new girl moved to the neighborhood.She dressed differently from everyone else so everyone in her new class treated her differently.Leslie didn't dress like the rest of the girls.Most of the time, she was left sitting on the bus by herself looking out the window,wondering why she was treated so differently.One day,she decided to run at recess with the rest of the 6Th grade boys.There were a lot of 6Th grade boys,so she doubted that she would win.She was the fastest there,and won.She tried to make friends with the boy(Jessie Aarons).She told him that her name was Leslie,and wanted to know if they could be friends.Later,Leslie found out that Jess was her neighbor.She got to know more about Jess,and began to like him even more.Every time she tried to talk to him,he ignored her.Leslie never stopped trying to be friends with him though.Soon enough,Jess got tired of ignoring her,and tried to get to know Leslie.Jess actually liked her and realized that he was wrong to have judged her so poorly. She was good at writing, had a good imagination,and liked fantasy.He learned his lesson about judging people by how they look.Leslie learned that the bark is worse than his bite.She later found out that Jess was a nice kid,and just acted worse than he really is.They both had fun together and they felt like they had been friends for a long time..

**The End**
Moral;NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER & THE BARK IS WORSE THAN IT'S BITE.Don't judge people poorly if you don't even know that person.
 * || ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (1) Hello Summer I haerd in your story that Jess was ignoring Leslie then one day he got tried of ignoring her then he gave her a chance to get to know her and he actally liked her and he learned to never judge people by how they look. (2) I have a quetion about Jess is there another reson why he gave her a chance other then he got tried of ignoring her ? (3) I wonder if you learned something from this story did you? From Gabby I kinda did the same the same thing! Thats awesome! ||

Summer- I like how you had good details and voice. In stead of having it in one big paragraph maybe you can put it in two. It was good and stuff and I think that Gabby said everything what I was going to say. I try to help! **-hgymnast** ||

I think that horseperson1,hgymnast,&mi7mds' blogs(from our class) have changed a lot.I think Gabby's blog changed a lot based on my comments & questions. -summer07


 * Revised Story**

It all started when a new girl moved to the neighborhood.She dressed differently from everyone else so everyone in her new class treated her differently.Leslie was a tom-boy,so she didn't dress like the rest of the girls.Most of the time, she was left sitting on the bus by herself looking out the window,wondering why she was treated so differently.One day,she decided to run at recess with the rest of the 6Th grade boys.There were a lot of 6Th grade boys,so she doubted that she would win.She was the fastest there,and won.She tried to make friends with the boy(Jessie Aarons,one of the boys who ran in the race). She told him that her name was Leslie,and wanted to know if they could be friends.Leslie never stopped trying to be friends with him even though Jess kept ignoring her.One day,Leslie found out that Jess was her neighbor.She got to know more about Jess,and began to like him even more.Every time she tried to talk to him,he ignored her,so Leslie decided to invite Jess over."Um,Jess,"Leslie said quietly,"I was wondering if you wanted to come over."Jess said sure and went over to Leslie's house .Jess decided that Leslie wasn't so bad after all and wanted to become her friend.Jess actually liked her and realized that he was wrong to have judged her so poorly. She was good at writing, had a good imagination,and liked fantasy.He learned his lesson about judging people by how they look.Leslie learned that the bark is worse than his bite.She later found out that Jess was a nice kid,and just acted worse than he really is.They both had fun together and they felt like they had been friends for a long time. Jess wished that he hadn't judged Leslie so harshly.The next day,he decided to apologize to Leslie.When he got to school,he started to look for Leslie.Jess spent so much time looking for Leslie that he hadn't realized what time it was.He quietly walked into the classroom and sat down.Jess would have to wait to tell her that he was sorry.During recess,Leslie was going to run with the boys again.She beat them all as usual.When she crossed the finish-line,he told her that he was sorry for judging her so poorly.The two were best friends for as long as the story goes.
