Cole retells story The miller by James Baldwin

There was a miller that was happy.  He made everyone else happy too. One day a king wanted to be happy like the Miller. The king visited the Miller and asked him How are you so happy?  The miller said, “I earn my own bread, I love my wife, my children my friends and they love me. I own not a penny to any man. Why should I not be happy?”     The king envied the Miller and realized he couldn’t have that same happiness living in his kingdom. The kind went home sad. 

Cole remembers of story

                       The good rain.   Cole telling what he remembers of the story.

   There was no rain for many weeks. A boy ran through the dead grass, farmers wifes garden was dying and there was no milk because the cows couldn’t drink enough water.  When the boy went to the pool there was no water for him to swim in. The farmers market didn’t have very much food because there was no water for the crops.  They waited for a long time for rain. They prayed that it would rain.  

    The clouds rolled in. The boy danced in the rain.   The crops began to grow again. The cow started to produce milk again. The markers had more than enough fruits and vegetables. The boy was able to go swimming again. There were many wonderful things everyone could do and have because of the rain. Their prayers were answered.

Retelling story of a Hero

Cole retelling an excerpt from Hans Brinker by Mary Mapes Dodge. 

      There was a dad that was a Sluicer. He would raise and lower the gates of canals in Haarlem. Haarlem is a city in Holand. One day The dads son, wanted to take cake to his blind friend. On his way home he saw a small hole in the dike. He put his fat finger inside the hole. He called for help but no one came. HE continued to call but no one came. Then he prayed, he got an answer to just stay there. So the boy stay then night there even though he was uncomfortable and cold.  Someone finally found him. The boy said to get his parents. Many people came to see the boy that was a Hero.

Cole's Story

Cole was assigned to tell a story out loud .  As he told the story I typed it up.
Here it is!

Everly And The Boat

One fine summer morning Everly was playing with the sand at the beach. She saw a big fish and wanted to get in the water with it. She went into the water, and got deeper and deeper into the water. Then Everly sunk deep into the water! She saw a big black floating thing with a big black chain and an anchor at the bottom. It got closer and closer to her until she could grab it. It pulled her higher and higher until she was out of the water. Then she got onto the boat. There were three men. They fed her babyfood and called around to find out who she belonged to. They wondered why there was a baby girl in the water.  They found her address in her pocket. This helped them find who she belonged to so she could go home.  She was happy to be home.
