Authors Note: This
week for my reading diary I read the stories from the Grimm unit. There are four different Grimm units. I chose to look at the Librivox unit. This unit has two reading sections with 14
different stories. Most of these stories
are fictional with made up charters. For
example in “The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean” all of these objects are able to
talk and act normal. I usually turn
these type of stories around to a real life situation. This week I decided to be a little silly with
my own story. I based my story off of Rapunzel.
Rapunzel ended up being restricted to her tower not being able to
ever leave. There was a Prince that came
to Rapunzel’s tower and told her to let down her long hair and that we would
climb and save her. In the end of the
story the Prince is able to save Rapunzel with the help of her hair hanging out
of the window of her tower. My story
resembles Rapunzel’s but it is more of a silly/ funny story.
Chloe’s Spaghetti
Hair
Chloe was born into a very poor family. So when Chloe’s mom was five months pregnant
she went to a fairy and asked her to bless her unborn child with the gift of
wealth. She told the fairy that she
never wanted her baby to starve. The
fairy told Chloe’s mother that she would help her only under one condition.
Chloe had to live in the tallest tower in the city for the rest of her
life. Chloe’s mother didn’t see anything
wrong with this and agreed to the condition.
When Chloe was born the fairy came and took her away from her family and
placed her in the tower. The tallest
tower in city is placed in the middle of the forest. There was an old woman who lived in this
tower and took care of Chloe as an infant.
It wasn’t until Chloe was four that the women realized she had a
gift. Chloe could grow spaghetti from
her head. In fact that is the only thing
she could grow from her head, no hair.
After the women figured out that she could grow spaghetti she kept her
locked away at the top of the tower. The
women would let Chloe’s hair get really long and then she would cut it off and
go sell the spaghetti to the city. This
went on for 16 years, and Chloe grow to hate her life. But she didn't know anything other than the
top of the tower and what that lady has told her. She even thought the woman who took care and
sold her hair was her real mother.
Everyone in the city wondered where this wonderful spaghetti was coming
from for so many years. Finally, one
afternoon a young man named Joe followed the women back to the tower to try and
find out where she was getting the spaghetti.
He saw Chloe though the window at the top of the tower, and noticed that
the spaghetti was coming from her hair.
He was shocked at first and then he started to feel bad for Chloe. Joe decided he was going to save Chloe from
the tower. He waited in the bushes until
he saw the old women leave the tower to go into the city. Joe walked up to the tower and yelled
“Excuse me, excuse me
miss!!”
No answer.. So he yelled even louder
“EXCUSE ME MISS!”
Chloe heard the man so she came to her window. Joe introduced himself and asked what her
name was.
“Chloe” she said
Joe asked her if she was lonely up there and if she ever got
to come down. Chloe explained to him
that she was not allowed to leave the tower, but that she was very lonely and
had been for years. Joe told her if she
let her spaghetti hair down he would be able to climb up and save her. Chloe was hesitant at first to let her hair
down because she thought that he would just eat her hair. Joe assured her that he was only there to
help her. So Chloe let down her long
yummy spaghetti hair, so that Joe was able to come help her.
