Retelling “The Box
Tom the old man was on his chair scared of Jerry the mouse who was under the cupboard. Jerry climbed on the table quietly. Tom had set up on the table a trap. Jerry went in the trap the box shut on him. Tom got out of his chair and did a happy dance to the table. Tom stopped doing his happy dance and looked at the box and looked out the window, he reached out to grab the magazine, he got the magazine and slid it under the box and took Jerry to the window. He walked to the window and slid the window up and put the box outside Tom almost shut the window and he heard a cat and grabbed the box with Jerry in it. Tom put the books on a table. He looked at the box and thought of what to do. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a large fork and very fast he stabbed the fork in the box and poked 5 holes in it so Jerry could breathe. Tom went back to the kitchen, he got water, bread crumbs and a lid cap. Tom put some water into the lid cap. He dipped the tip of his finger in the water. Tom slid the lid cap under the box. He put a breadcrumb in the top of the box in a hole. Tom waited and waited. Jerry threw the breadcrumbs back out the hole. Tom got really close to the box and slowly lifted the box up and looked at Jerry. Jerry acted like a statue at first and then he looked at Tom angrily. Tom looked away and he looked back at Jerry and slid the breadcrumb to Jerry. Jerry turned around Tom took the breadcrumb back. Jerry looked back around Tom pretended to eat the breadcrumb Jerry was sad. Tom pretended to magic it back. Jerry was surprised. Tom put the breadcrumb on the table Jerry slowly walked to the breadcrumb. Jerry grabbed the breadcrumb and went back to its spot. Tom reached his finger out to Jerry and was just going to touch Jerry when he ran away. Tom was sitting in his chair he put some crumbs on his shoulder. Jerry came up and sat on Toms shoulder and ate the crumbs then Jerry left.Tom got up and smiled and went back to sleep.
Tom is the old man. Jerry is the mouse.
