The Boy Who Wanted to Fly
An old story. I think I wrote this in the 3rd
Grade
I had to try and clean up the pictures a bit because the
images on the other side of the pages had bled through. They're a mess,
but I thought you might enjoy. I'm glad to see that my grammar has
improved, but saddened to find that my handwriting hasn't.

Once there was a little boy who wanted to Fly

He tried many different ways

But nothing worked

Until, one day he found an old airplane that had crashed

The wings were in good shape, so he strapped them on

So he took a test run off his roof

But it didn't work

So he glued feathers on his wings

The next day (after he washed all the extra feathers off) he tried them out

He soared into the sky

But he was caught in an updraft and crashed

THE END
ah... irony
Comments? Yes, I know you must have something
to say about this...
