Apple and Cheese



The giggles floated through the car and reached my ears. I looked back to see a beaming Mara. Her fiery hair was pulled off her pearl-like face with two ladybug barrettes. Mara's twinkling eyes were fixed on her sister's red, juicy apple that she was holding absentmindedly.

Mara's sister, Bella, was quietly reading her new book ," I Like Cheese". Her wavy, red hair was hung over her face like a curtain. She was just about to finish her book when she suddenly remembered her shiny, red apple that she had saved from lunch. Bella put the apple up to her ready mouth. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth to take a bite. But instead of tasting the apple she had gotten a knuckle sandwich. She frantically scanned the floor of the car for her apple. Then another round of laughter ricocheted off the walls of the car.

Bella slowly looked up and saw that Mara had pilfered the prized pomme. Bella's arms were quick but Mara's mouth was faster. Mara brought the apple up to her mouth and sliced through it with her tiny teeth.
Bella cried, aww....., in defeat. But then to Bella's surprise Mara then replied in a cheerful shout,

"I'LL SHARE WITH YOU"!

  5. That story was just too adorable, Ari. I loved it! I also really love how the title totally fit with the story-- how Bella read the story about cheese, and the little sister took her apple. Thus, making "Apple and Cheese." GREAT JOB, GIRL!
