Today I am going to tell you a story called June Jam. It is about four kids named Lucy, Brian, Bradley and Nate. Bradley and Brain are brothers though.
Bradley and his twin brother Brian were in the car with their father and older brother Josh. Brian is jealous of why Josh always gets to go to the front. Josh's response is that he is older and wiser. Their father asked them if they had a good time in the restaurant. Josh said yes because their father took them out for a morning breakfast outside in the town. One question that always stumbled Bradley's mind was why his father always ordered something we strawberry jam. Their dad said it was because his grandmother made the best strawberry jam in the world but know that she is gone he is trying to find a jam that tastes like hers or even surpasses her. When they all got to the house they did their chores. Their found out that since it was soon Father's day they had to make something. The saw that the garden in the barn was all ruined so for their present the would fix the whole garden for their father.
Chapter 2
Soon all of the kids tried to find out what type of animal was small enough or big enough to get over the fence and eat all of the berries in the garden. They suggested a rabbit or a gila monster but it was not either one of them. They made no connection so it was not ready yet to set the plan.
Chapter 3
Lucy finally had an idea that if they made scarecrow they could scare the monster away from the garden and everything would be find. Bradley went to get the clothes in the houses and a hammer and needles in the shed.
Chapter 4
When they all finished they put everything together. There were many options on how to design the scarecrow so they just decided big and fat. They also added a lot of decorations for the scarecrow like adding google eyes and lots of teeth. Maybe even a hat! Finally they all tugged the scarecrow in each body part and put him in the garden. Their father was going to really proud.
Chapter 5
Now that everything was ready they all hoped it would scare the freaky monster away. While they hoped they thought their father would be even happier if they made the recipe his grandmother made for the jam. They found the old recipe in the kitchen where he keeps his grandmother's secret recipes. Suddenly they all found out that in the recipe they had to use the stove and they weren't allowed to without a grownup so they thought to put an empty jar with a note that said they couldn't make any.
Chapter 6
Bradley screamed so loud the whole neighborhood could hear. The rest of the kids came to see what had happened. The whole garden as still messy and everything was eaten. the mystery creature is still eating the berries in the garden. the scarecrow must not have been scary enough so they needed to make a different approach. Finally they made a plan to made a trap in order to find what is eating the berries. They dug a deep whole and covered it with weeds and leaves so when the creature comes he will fall. the kids found their pony horse polly who was eating grass. Finally the all saw that the mystery creature made another move. It ate the leaves and the berries but did not fall in the trap.
Chapter 7
Bradley set a big fat strawberry their and now it was gone with out setting off the trap. The creature must have been big or clever. They all thought it must have been something with a long neck like a python. So they set another trap. They covered the whole garden with a fishing net so that the creature can't eat the berries. Soon the kids went into the house to eat lunch. When they came back they saw that the berries were still eaten.
Chapter 8
Finally the kids found out that the mystery creature was Pal. Their pet dog. They found out because they covered themselves with the net and hd until they found Pal. Wait a minute Pal isn't the mystery creature at all. It was a turtle. A random turtle eating all of the berries in the garden. The children did not know what to of with the turtle. Lucy finally carried the turtle to a muddy riverbank and set it free. The children finally had no more troubles.
Chapter 9
When they all went home all of them made the recipe for their father. Even the mom helped since they needed an adult to work the stove. Father was very surprised and pleased at the family for making his grandmother's recipe. He was very HAPPY!
