One day a group of children decided they wanted to make some money. After a long time they decided to sell their old classroom couch on TradeMe. Each of the children wrote an advertisement and voted on the best.
After a few weeks they got a horrible email from TradeMe saying the couch didn't sell. The children were so disappointed when they found out. They decided to try and sell their old couch another way.
One of the children called Rick came up with fixing the couch up a bit since it was quite tattered. The rest of the class agreed.
So the next day they walked down to a small shop selling various types of fabrics. They bought a beautiful green material with pale yellow and pink flowers that looked just the same as the original couch fabric.
It took hours fixing up the couch, but the children enjoyed sewing up the holes since they didn't have to do actual work although they were a school. When they'd finished the couch looked great. The children wished that they could keep it at school.
They wondered where to sell it. Then one of the children said that one of her friend's was having a garage sale. Everyone was delighted. They rang the friend's mother to ask if they could sell their old couch at the garage sale. In reply they got a yes!
The next week they got an email saying the couch had sold for thirty dollars. The children were so happy to find that it had finally sold, for a lot more than one dollar!

Great job Emily! That was really enjoyable to read and I see why our teacher chose it. I'm glad you said it sold for a lot more than a dollar, because that has to be good luck for us, right?
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant blog and I get why Mrs Browne chose that blog to be here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story!
ReplyDeleteI like how you described the problem.
Story was good but I don't get how in the second to last and the last paragraph how they got a email saying they sold the couch when they sold it via a garage sale.
