MY PARAGRAPH ((:

One snowy winter day little Andy, was outside with his friends at school for recess. They were playing in their fort, when suddenly those mean 7th graders, came to destroy it. So before they could attack, Andy quickly, picked up a block of snow and through it right at Billy’s eye. Later that day, Principal Lexter found out about what Andy did. He quickly phoned Andy’s parents. Andy went home later that day, and vaguely explained what happened to in the afternoon. As, Andy was explaining he looked very nonchalantly, so his parents knew something was wrong. His parents were very incredulous about the story he was telling them, but they called the Principal Lexter back, and talked out the story. Andy’s punishment was to stay after school for 2 weeks and help Miss.Applebom with any marking.
