Once there lived a girl. Her name was Sarah. She was poor. She lived in the park and ate blueberries from the tree of blueberries. She wore an old sweater and some old jeans. She wore a pair of Nike shoes. She drank water from a brook in the park. She never got gifts. She was always lonely. She was poor since she was a baby. She spent a little money each say, so she would money left to use the next day. One day when she was drinking water from the brook she saw a red, shiny big pail. She picked it up and put it in her hand. She thought to herself. She thought why would anyone leave a pretty, red pail here. So since the person who left the pail here does not want it then I will keep it. From now on she used the pail to get water from the brook. She decided since she really liked the pail to name it. She thought of all the names in the world, but she did not like any of them. She decided to name her pail Jenny Sarah after her mom and herself. So Sarah and Jenny Sarah enjoyed being together. They always were together.
