Long ago lived an old lady. She loved to bake for her grand children. She had curly hair and small brown eyes. The old lady was 90 her husband past away 2 years ago. Her husband was 98 when he past away. She lived with her cat Ginger. There is something you should know about one of her grand children, she absolutely loves to DANCE!
One day the old lady had 2 of her grandchildren over, one is Gemma and the other is Jack. Gemma is the one who loves to dance and Jack is just lazy. One day Gemma was in the back yard doing cartwheels when the old lady called "the cookies are ready" Gemma raced inside to get the biggest cookie before Jack did and then tripped over a chair. The old lady called the ambulance it came straight away. I forgot to tell you that she had her concert the next day. They did an x-ray on her arm it was BROKEN! The doctor told the old lady that they had to put it in a cast! The old lady had to break the bad news to Gemma. She went in and saw her crying. She did not want to make her cry more but she said "Gemma I am sorry to say but you can not dance tomorrow" "why not" said Gemma "because you have a broken arm, but wait I have an idea, how about you invite some people to our house and you can have the concert there with out using your arm" "yes" So all of the next day Gemma was practising for her fake concert, but she had to make sure she did not hurt her arm. On the day she had to perform she got her mum, dad, uncle, aunty, Jack, her best friend Lilly and of course the old lady. They all loved it. THE END
