THE COIN

This story was a writing assignment for third grade language arts. T had to make up a history for a coin. Here is the result. Momma 



  My mother has a coin.  It looks like a flattened ball.  It is hard and very strong.  The coin is made of copper and aluminum.
   Once a man named Philip got the coin for change when he bought a candy bar. Philip took the coin home and put it in a dresser.  One day Philip moved, but left the dresser there.
   The coin stayed in the empty dresser and house for ten years.  Finally an astronaut named John moved in.  He found the coin and put it in his pocket. But when John went to the space center he forgot about the coin in his pocket.  He got his space suit on.  So the coin was in his pocket the whole time he was on the moon.When John got home he used the coin to buy a stick of gum.
   That same day an old lady named Beth came to the store to buy vitamins.  She got the coin as change.  Beth used the coin to buy cookies at a bake sale my mom was running.  That's how the coin got to my mom.
