By Chris Van Allsburg
Retold By Aniyah
When Mr. Bailey was driving home in his truck he heard a
loud thump. He thought he hit a deer but it was a man.
Then he help the man into his truck.
Mr. Bailey took the stranger into his home and asked him
some questions. But he didn’t understand them.Mr. and
Mrs. Bailey called the doctor and the said he had lost his
memory. He had a big bump on the back of his head.
Mr. Bailey gave the stranger some clean clothes but he
didn’t know which hole will go in which. Then the stranger
blew gently across hi soup. Then he and Mr. Bailey
started to work. But Mr. Bailey was tired but the stranger
was never tired.
The Stranger was hypnotized and then two week later
couldn’t remember things still. They liked having him
around also he became one of the family and he was
happy being there too.Also he had seen rabbits and they
were hoping.
It seemed autumn was around the corner and the seasons
didn’t change. The pumpkins was large and the stranger
climbed the highest hill .He saw red and orange leaves and
they were bright.
The stranger didn’t like the leaves because they were so
ugly . He thought the trees should of been red and orange.
His feelings grew the next day and he thought something
was wrong. He blew on a leaf because he came upset.
At dinner he hugged the Baileys, he was wearing his old
clothes and was crying. The baileys knew he was going to
leave and they waved goodbye. But he already
disappeared and it was cold too. Also the leafs wasn’t
never green.
Every since the stranger visited it was still the same at
Baileys farm. The trees got bright and the farm had frost on
the window from the stranger saying see you next fall.
