The Colorful Words Contest

The “Colorful Words” Contest
Short Story and Drawing
by Kristina
10-17-2007

It was a sunny morning in Thompsonville and an exciting buzz was sweeping throughout classroom 101 in Thomson Elementary. Their teacher had just told them they were going to have a “colorful words contest”. “What’s that?” I blurted out. “Raise your hand next time, Grace.” Said Mrs. Wendy. “Anyway, a colorful words contest is when I give you a sentence with a “blank spot” in it. You fill in that blank spot with a colorful or descriptive word. Then when you go home you write an essay, or short report, on descriptive words. Does everybody understand?” “Yes, Mrs. Wendy,” said the class. “Then let’s begin!”

Now before I tell you what we did, I want to tell you about my teacher. Mrs. Wendy isn’t like any teacher you’ve ever known. She’s a very nice teacher, only strict when she needs to be (which is hardly ever). Mrs. Wendy is a tall lady with long wavy blond hair. She has almond shaped blue eyes, and a nice glossy pink smile. Her teeth are the whitest, brightest, straightest teeth I ever saw. She’s very pretty and she’s 30 years old. She always dresses in clean and tidy clothes, but not boring ones. Mrs. Wendy always wears earrings depending on the day and high top purple and silver sandals on her feet. Sometimes she even wears high heels. Well, enough about my teacher. Let’s get back to the story.

“Okay… the first person that knows the answer pop up, alright?” Mrs. Wendy said. “Yes Mrs. Wendy”, chorused the class. “Good, ready, set, go! I was blank in the bushes.” Michael, Katlyn, Maddie, Aaron, and I popped up. “Maddie!” called Mrs. Wendy. “Conspicuous”, said Maddie. “Correct!” It was like that for a while. I heard words like casual, deluxe frequent, gracious, hospitable, celestial, precise, and jealous. It went on and on. Finally the contest was over. Every kid out of 24 kids had at least one point. The first place winner was Rachel, second place Tommy, and third place, Maddie. “That was a fun contest.” Said Mrs. Wendy. “I have prizes for everyone.” She handed each of us a pen that could change four different colors. For the first, second, and third place winners, though, they got a really neat prize. A homework pass. As the school bell rang to go home she reminded everyone to write an essay.

As soon as I got home I got started writing. Of course, I used words like adaptable, colossal, identical, persistent, inquisitive, and ecstatic. I also wrote this story, and when I turned it in Mrs. Wendy was thrilled and I got an A+. I know one day I’ll grow old and ready this story, and remember Mrs. Wendy.
