Dancing

Once upon a time there lived a girl called Shannon and she lived in Australia. She did dancing. She had to do competitions in a couple of weeks.
“I can’t do that,” Shannon said.
“Oh, yes you can,” said mum and dad.
“You think I can do it,” said Shannon.
‘Yes,” said mum and dad.
“If you say I can do it, I can,” said Shannon.
So I went to dancing to practice with Benita and the rest of the group. We had little wedding costumes. We had to try them on.
The next day was competitions. Rhiannon was in the crowd. I spun around and fell over. Then I got back up. I won and got a trophy.
Then I went back home and fell asleep in the car.
