The Golden Sun

By Madelyn Mattern

One day the golden sun was shining in the meadow. Lots of people lived in the meadow. All of the people loved the sun so much they wanted a part of the sun. One day all of the people climbed a tall ladder to the golden sun. Each person picked one gold piece. Then the sun was gone because all the people took a piece of the gold sun. So all of the people put all of the gold pieces back in the sky. The next day there was sun. And everyone was happy again.
