Elena walked into the schoolhouse and sat down by Chrissy.” I hope Sarah doesn’t get chosen for the lead part in the play,” whispered Chrissy, ” Everybody knows that she will ruin it for everyone. Besides, just because she is–”
“Chrissy, Elena,” interrupted Ms.Katy, the teacher, “you two don’t seem to be listening. I have already told the whole class to turn to page 21 in their spellers, but you two seem to have something more important to talk about. Do you mind telling me what it is?”
“We were just talking about the Christmas play,” responded Elena.
“Now, if this happens again, you will both sit in the corner. Understood?”
“Yes Ms. Katy,” came the reply from both.
The school schedule went like this. First, it was spelling and arithmetic. After that would be history and science. Then, there would be an announcement the teacher had and then school was out. Today’s announcement would be the one for the lead part in the play. Elena couldn’t wait to see who would be chosen.
Science was finally done, and now the time for the announcement had finally arrived. “Children, please settle down,” started Ms. Katy, ” I’ve been looking over everyone for these past few days, and although all of you have been quite well-behaved, I have chosen a girl to do the part. This girl is…………. Elena Conner! Congratulations Elena. I hope you want to do the part. But if you do not, I have chosen a second girl in case of any emergencies. Sarah Mallet will help in case of any emergencies that I hope will not come up. Congratulations to both of you!”
“Thank you, Ms. Katy,” said Elena, ” I would love to be the lead. Thank you so much!” “Here is your part Elena. I hope you practice it until it is perfect. We wouldn’t want our ‘star’ to be unprepared.” said Ms. Katy as she handed Elena the sheet.
“Did you see the look on Sarah’s face!?” asked Chrissy as she and Elena walked home from school. ” No, I was too excited to look around.” giggled Elena. “Well, I can tell you that she did not look happy. She looked like she was about to explode!” said Chrissy. “Well, she must be very unhappy to look like that,” responded Elena.
Elena said goodbye to Chrissy as they both took different ways to get home.
“Mother, Jeremy, guess who got chosen for the lead part in the Christmas play!?”
“Hmmmm,” teased Jeremy, “I bet the dog from Mrs. Bailey did. He’s got the loudest bark in town.”
“Oh Jeremy,” responded Elena, ” I was picked! I am so excited! Where is Mother? I want to tell her.”
“She is out back washing the clothes. Great job Elena,” responded Jeremy. Elena ran as fast as she could to go and tell her mother. She was so excited. But another problem came as always.
Join me next time to see what the problem is!

Oooooooooooo, I can tell that a problem is going to show up by the way the it seems to good to be true, and when that happens 😮😭😤

This story will teach us good lessons about God’s grace.
I wonder how her mother will react when she finds out that she was chosen for the Christmas play.
This story is really getting interesting. Thank you.
I know!
Great job!😉
Thank you for the encouraging words 😊
Great story!
Thank you 😄
Hello! I tried to put an update on this story in the discussion, but it never came out. I sent it in a while back but I haven’t seen it there yet. So, if you were wondering when the next story is coming out, that’s up to you. I need some ideas. Do you want me to continue this story? Or should I wait till next Christmas to continue? Thank you for answering and for all of your encouraging comments 🙂 Happy New Year!!!!
I think you should continue the story. I want to know what happens, and waiting a year to find out is a little too much.
Thank you 😊 I might not post right after another, but I will try 😊
Hey everybody! I haven’t been updating or posting for a while and I am sorry. I tried to get on the discussion but it won’t let me. I do not know why but I will keep trying. I just wanted you to know.
Hello! I have still not been able to get into the discussion. I don’t know why. It just won’t let me press anything. So it might be a while till I can get the next chapter on.
I actually haven’t been able to get into the discussion either! It’s kind of annoying at this point. When I click the discussion tab, all I see is just a random user’s topic (just the top of it) and that’s basically it. I can’t make discussions, and I can’t read them either!
Same thing with me. I don’t know whats making it do that
Yeah!!! I can’t do anything!!!!! It’s so frustrating 😫
I will be putting updates on here because I just tried to get on the discussion and for some reason it won’t even let me get on it. I don’t know why.
I tried again to see if I could get on the discussion and it didn’t let me see anything or press anything. So if you want to ask me something, ask in the comments. In the meantime, i sent another story so they could put it out. its called ‘Through the Eyes of a Servant”
That sounds cool! I can’t wait to read it.
I’m loving the story!! Please keep going. I don’t think you should wait until next Christmas to continue this. I’m reading “Through the eyes of a servant.” It’s good too!!
Thank you 🙂
