Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a desert called Saudi Arabia. Her name was Jordan, but the town fool, Adam Coffin, liked to call her Jordy. The entire town loved Jordy because she had beautiful eyes and a kind heart, but the one thing that Jordy was most famous for, was her incredible cookie baking talent. Jordy’s cookies were the most delicious in all the land, even better than the ones the town fool made. One day Jordy had baked a scrumptious batch of cookies to share with her friends. She placed them neatly in her lunch box and headed off for school. Once she reached her bus stop she struck up a conversation with her bus-buddy Nathan. Jordy noticed that Nathan seemed a little shorter than usual that day.
“That’s odd”, thought Jordan. “I didn’t think it was possible for Nathan to get any shorter. Perhaps if I feed him one of my cookies he will grow a bit more!”
Jordy fed Nathan one of her cookies and oddly enough, nothing happened at all. Poor Nathan was still short, and Jordy had just wasted a perfectly good cookie.
When the bus arrived Jordy and Nathan hopped on. They sat down next to Danielle and Jordy told Dani that she had brought a batch of cookies with her to share at lunch. Dani was so excited, but Nathan just cried, because he was still short.
The bus eventually reached the school and the three children began walking to their classrooms. The whole day Jordy couldn’t stop thinking about how excited she was to eat the cookies she had baked with all of her best friends. She looked down at her backpack, and to her dismay her lunchbox was gone. She began to panic as she realized she had left her lunch, along with her precious cookies, on the bus.
“Ugghh, this sucks!” screamed Jordy during the middle of class. “Hey, shut up kid!” screamed Mr. Cradlin, “Can’t you see I’m trying to teach you about the importance of cannibalism.”
Jordy was so disheartened, her cookies were gone and she was going to starve during lunch. Suddenly she had an idea. She would go down to her bus after school and ask her bus driver if he had found her lunchbox on the bus, and that way she could share her cookies with her friends after school. After the last bell rang she rushed down to her bus and found her bus driver holding her lunchbox with the cookies inside. Jordy was overcome with happiness and announced proudly to the whole world that her lunchbox had been saved, but nobody cared much. When her bus driver returned her lunchbox she was overcome with gratitude and presented him with one of her precious cookies. The bus driver smiled awkwardly and let out a girlish giggle before finally taking the cookie. Jordy thought he was acting a bit oddly, but was joyful nonetheless and trotted back to the school grounds to find her dearest companions.
Jordy’s friends were thrilled to see that she had been reunited with her lunchbox, but mostly they were just happy because this meant that they finally got to eat her food.
Enthusiastically, Jordan opened her lunchbox and extracted the bag of cookies. She had originally had twelve cookies, but she had given one to Nathan and one to the bus driver, so that left her with ten cookies. Nathan, Dani, Hayley, other Hailey, Angie, Jocelyn, Kelcy, Daniel, and Adam the town fool, gazed at the bag of treats. It was perfect, ten cookies for ten best friends. However when Jordy opened the bag she was shocked to find only five cookies left.
“That’s weird, I had enough for all of you”, said Jordy.
“Whoa, no way!” said Hailey.
“The only reason I like you was because you always give me food!” said Adam.
“This means war!” said Nathan.
“We could always split them in two like civilized people” said Jocelyn.
“It was the bus driver!” screamed Angie.
At that moment Jordy realized what a conniving demon her bus driver was. She felt betrayed. However she had a compassionate feeling of forgiveness swell within in heart as she realized that the bus driver was her friend too, and she had meant to share her cookies with her friends in the first place. Her friends eventually realized this too and sat together sharing the cookies that Jordy had so thoughtfully baked for all of them.
The day was saved thanks to the goodness of Jordy’s heart and all of her friends lived happily ever after. Nathan was still really short.
This is beautiful! :')
