Gwendolyn's First Story "Book"

Creative Gwendolyn has written her first story "book" on 16 May 2008. The "book" was left in her school bag until she remembered on 20 May and took out to read to Papa in the morning on the way to school. She read:

Dear Dad and Mom - I Have a Letter for You (This is the title of the book)

Once upon a time, there was Gwendolyn, Mummy, Daddy and Geraldine. All decided to go to our park. Then, Mummy and Daddy watched Gwendolyn and Geraldine play hula-hoop. When they were tired, they take a nap. When they were not tired, they woke up. When Summer came, they all played hula-hoop. When all the family came, we all played hula-hoop together. And they lived happily ever after. THE END.

Wow...for a 4-year-old child, that sounds very good! At least the sentence structure and grammar was fantastic! Even though the storyline sounds like one of those Mcmug / Mcdull stories, but given again that she's just a 4-year-old, it's very good! Oh yeah, most important of all, though there were no words in her "book", she remembers exactly what the story was! How did Papa and Mama know? It was when Lyn Lyn started asking Papa to tell the story, after she's told him for a few times. Lyn Lyn caught Papa saying different things from her original story, hence, she kept correcting Papa whenever he got it wrong. From her corrections, she consistently corrected with the same wordings and she can really remembers her story very well! Bravo Lyn Lyn~~~
