Monday - First paragraph

Before we begin writing watch this taught lesson on how to innovate your story.

Here is the original story: 

Once there was a little girl called Sophie and she was having tea with her mother. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I wonder who that could be. It can’t be the milkman because he came this morning. And it can’t be the boy from the grocer’s because this isn’t the day he comes. And it can’t be daddy because he’s got his key. We’d better open the door and see. Sophie opened the door and there was a big, furry, stripy tiger. “Excuse me, but I’m very hungry. Do you think I could have tea with you?” asked the tiger politely. “Of course, come in” said Mum.

 

How have we changed it? 

Once there was a little girl called Mary and she was having breakfast with her Granny. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I wonder who that could be. It can’t be the Amazon delivery because he came this morning. And it can’t be the postman because it’s too early. And it can’t be Mummy because she’s at work. We’d better open the door and see. Mary opened the door and there was an excitable, twitchy small squirrel. “Excuse me, but I’m very hungry. Do you think I could have breakfast with you?” politely enquired the squirrel. “Of course, come in” said Granny.

Original Story: 

Then he looked around the kitchen to see what else he could find. He ate all the supper that was cooking in the saucepans. And all the food in the fridge! He ate all the supper that was cooking in the saucepans. And all the food in the fridge! And he drank all the milk, and all the orange juice, and all daddy’s beer, and all the water in the tap. Thank you for my nice tea. I think I’d better go now. And off the tiger went! “I don’t know what to do!” said Mummy. “I’ve got nothing for daddy’s supper.  The tiger has eaten it all!”. Just then daddy came through the door…

 

What changes have we made? 

Then he looked around the kitchen to see what else he could find. He ate all  of Mummy’s breakfast that was cooking in the saucepans. And all the food in the pantry! He nibbled and chewed holes into all of the crisp packets and biscuits in the cupboard! He leapt towards the living room and gnashed his way through their chocolate stash. “Thank you for my very filling breakfast” burped the squirrel, “I think I’d better go now.” Waddling like a duck, with his bloated tummy sticking out in front of him, the squirrel ambled off.  And off the squirrel went! “I don’t know what to do!” said Granny. “I’ve got nothing for Mummy’s breakfast. The squirrel has eaten it al!”. Just then Mummy came home…

Wednesday - Last paragraph

Original 

So Sophie and her mummy told him what had happened, and how the tiger had eaten all the food and drunk all the drink. “I know what we’ll do. I’ve got a very good idea. We’ll put on our coats  and go to the café.” They had a lovely supper with sausages, chips and ice cream. In the morning Sophie and her mummy went shopping and they bought lots more things to eat. And they also bought a tin of tiger food, in case the tiger should come to tea again.

 

How have we changed it?

We’ll put on our coats  and go to McDonalds.” They had a lovely breakfast with pancakes, Egg McMuffins, bacon rolls, orange juice and lots of coffee for Mummy after her long shift at work. In the morning Mary and her Granny went shopping and they bought lots more things to eat. And they also bought a tin of squirrel food, in case the squirrel should come to breakfast again.
