Once upon a time, there was a person named Bob. Bob wanted an electric guitar for Christmas, but instead, Bob got horrible mustard that has been overdue for 2 years. Bob shoved it into the trash can.
“Dad, can I get something exciting?”
“What would you like?” asked Bob’s dad, Tom.
Bob hesitated for a few seconds.
“An extraordinary electric guitar with red flames on it along with a mighty-loud amplifier.”
Tom thought about it deeply.
“Fine.” Tom decided, “Let’s wait till Christmas though.”
It was November 4th.
“You owe me,” Tom said.
This was the best day of my life!
Hello Gregory,
It seems Bob had been the subject of a prank after all out of date mustard would be a terrible gift. His Dad, Tom, knows what he really wants.
Your story not only makes good use of the prompt words, it is very well written including the use of speech.
