The Shark That Ate Patrick

Colby wrote a book today and I told him I would publish it on my blog. He got very excited about his story. He asked if I would make any changes that needed to be made so that he could get it published. He wanted to donate a copy to his school's library and then sell the rest to the entire world. Oh, and he asked Jared how much it would cost to get a movie made from it. Jared said it would be too expensive, so he came up with the idea to send it to the Spongebob TV show and see if they would use the story for one of their episodes on TV. How adorable is my son?? So, very few edits were made to the story below. Although his spelling was actually very good, I did correct all of his spelling except for one place, because I thought it was so cute. I loved all of his quotations, his use of commas, his explanations in parentheses, and his dedication at the beginning to his family. Great job Colby! It is an excellent story!!!

THE SHARK THAT ATE PATRICK
by Colby Wright, Age 7

to the family I love most, the Wrights...

Chapter One - Patrick's Shark

One day when Spongebob was at work, Patrick came up and said, "Let's go to the fishy place." "What?" said Spongeob? "Let's go to the fishy place." "Oh," he said, "but what about work?" "Big deal. Besides, it's just a break," said Patrick. "Ok," said Spongebob. So they started for the fishing palace (fishy place). Then once they got there, Spongebob trips on a rock. Patrick falls in the pool of sharks (that was part of the fishing palace). Poor Patrick was eaten.

Chapter Two - Work

Early the next day, Spongebob was so sad he could barely say a word. He sadly walked to work. Once he got inside, he stupidly flipped pattys on Squidward's face. "Ha! Patrick's dead," said Squidward. "Aw, who's the little baby?" Work was bad.


Chapter Three - The Mouth

After a horrible day at work, he went to sleep. He had terrible dreams about Patrick so he went to the fishing palace and went to the shark that had ate Patrick and jumped in. Luckily, it was asleep. Spongebob tried to find Patrick, but it was too dark. Soon he saw a light and sher anofe (mom: aka, sure enough), there was Patrick.

Chapter Four - Escape!

They stayed and rest for a while then they had breakfast (coral). Then they started pushing on the mouth quickly but not quietly. Finally it opened. The shark woke up. He was mad!! They quickly swam away but the shark followed!! Patrick said, "Do what you were born to do." "Dance??" asked Spongebob. "No! Swim with the spin," said Patrick. "Okay. Whirlpool!!" And he did a spin (holding Patrick). He quickly swam up and got out with Patrick. Spongebob never knew but he was followed!! Thousands of people were cheering for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was flattered and Patrick learned a lesson never to play with or near sharks. So they had a party to celebrate (but not Squidward or Plankton). Plankton was the bad guy!! He was on his way. Luckily he got lost in the crowd. If Spongebob hadn't saved Patrick, he would never of seen him again.

THE END
