The Enormous Fly
by Britni

One year ago a girl named Christy was watching TV. When she was finished with it she went over to the window. She looked out. All she could see was a big black thing covering the window. Christy was terrified. She went outside to see what it was. It was a fly, a giant, hairy, ugly fly. It had already smashed some houses. "Help! Help!" she yelled. No one came. She so wanted it to go away. She wanted to help. A plan just immediately popped into her head. First she needed to get some frogs, billions of frogs. She wondered where she was going to get them from. She went to the woods behind her house. She caught about fifty frogs and brought them all home. She yelled, "Go frogs! Go eat that fly!" They were everywhere. The giant fly kept gobbling them all up. In no time flat they were all gone. The giant fly ate them all. Soon she had another idea. It was to get lots of bug spray and spray it. In ten minutes she had forty cans of bug spray. She ran out the door and ran to the giant fly. She sprayed and sprayed. It didn't work. There wasn't enough. Then another idea came into her head. It was to make a big fly swatter. She got a big piece of string and four blankets. She tied the string around the blankets. She was ready to lift it all up. It was too heavy. It wouldn't budge. Christy gave up. She didn't have any more ideas. Then when she was feeling sad another idea popped into her head. She ran to the zoo and asked the zoo keeper for a big cage on wheels. The zoo keeper went and got a big cage. Christy wheeled it to the fly and started to go faster. She stopped. The fly started to fly backwards. It flew right into the cage. Christy shut the door of the cage and wheeled it to the zoo. The fly lived very happily, with food and water.
