Rosa liked making up stories. She was so sure that her classmates believed her from time to time. In fact, the whole class believed her! At first she supposed it was 1. Now, as she got up to talk before the class, she knew that making up stories had some way of coming back to make you sad.
Rosa's parents were separated. Nine months out of the year, Rosa lived with her mother in an apartment on Anderson Street. But when summer 2, she went to her father's farm in Arizona.
The farm was great! Rosa rode horses and helped with some farm work. Her father, however, was so 3 that he couldn't find time to go to other places with her. When she arrived each summer, her father would meet her at the airport and take her out to eat. And the day she went back to the city he would always buy her a present.
When summer came to a close, Rosa returned to her mother. At school she heard lots of stories her friends told about their family trips. Rosa wished she had a 4to talk about too.
Not long after 5 began, Rosa was looking through travel magazines in the school library. They talked about many exciting places, like England and Germany. When Rosa's friends asked what she had done in the summer, she made up something that was not6. Remembering the travel magazines she had read, she told her classmates that she and her father had gone to England.
When the class began studying England, Mr Thomas asked Rosa to tell all the things she could 7 about her trip to England!
