K-3 Carol Anne and the Bird

It was summertime.  Mrs. Freeling  and her two daughters, Heather and Carol Anne, moved into a house by the lake.  Heather didn't like the idea of moving because she didn't want to leave her friends behind. Carol Anne, however, was a different story.  Carol Anne is what the average person would call different.  She was not like the other children. She was very shy.  The other children either made fun of her or didn't notice her at all. She wanted to move because she wanted a chance to start over.
Once Mrs. Freeling got into the house, she let each daughter pick out thier room. Carol Anne chose the room with interesting  wallpaper.  The wallpaper had vines and birds. Carol Anne had little doubt about this room. She felt right at home. 
That night, Carol Anne went to bed. She noticed a bird on the wall. Carol Anne got up and gave the bird some food. Then the bird retreated to the wall. 
The next morning, Mrs. Freeling and Heather say the bird on the wall. Heather liked the bird.  Mrs. Freeling had a different opinoin. She wanted the bird out of the house. Mrs. Freeling opened the window. The cool breeze flew into Carol Anne's room. 
"Get rid of the bird." was all her mother said. But the bird didn't want to leave the house. And Carol Anne didn't want to get rid of the bird. The bird was harmless. And it liked Carol Anne a lot.
Her mother agreed to keep the bird as long as it made her daughter happy. The move actually made Carol Anne happy. Carol Anne liked living with her mom, Heather, and her feathered friend.
