Madilen and the Cabbage Growing Contest

Madilen and 
the Cabbage Growing Contest

Morgan

Hi! I am Morgan, and I wrote this story. I am the narrator and author. I should probably start the story…

            There once lived a girl named Madilen. Madilen loved to garden and enter contests. Madilen wanted to enter, so she asked her mom if she could enter the contest. Her mom said, “Yes, you may enter the contest.” So Madilen started to grow her cabbage. A few months went by and the cabbage grew. Boy, did it grow! It grew so big, it could be a house. She tried to weigh it, but it was so big Madilen could not weigh it. So she just took a photo of the cabbage. Then she sent it to the post office.

            Madilen went to the contest. She signed in, so the judges knew she was there. Then she went to her seat and ran into the lady that worked there. Madilen asked the lady how many people were there. The lady said, “About five million people.”

            Madilen went to her seat. They announced fourth and third place. It was not Madilen. She was very sad. They announced second and first. Madilen did not get second place. Madilen got first place and the first place prize of one hundred million dollars. Madilen said, “REALLY? REALLY? Did I really get first place?!” Madilen really won, and she ran home and handed her mother the one hundred million dollars.

Her mom said, “What’s this Madilen?”

            Madilen said, “I won first place and I got one hundred million dollars!”

            Her mom said, “Let’s celebrate with a fresh gourmet lunch with the neighborhood, family, and friends!”
