(This story was the chosen as the best of the whole second grade!)
When I was seven I went camping. It was dark and quiet. I heard a loud sound! I couldn't go to sleep. The next morning our food was gone! We saw big foot prints. I saw something brown. I picked it up. It felt like fur. The air smelled rotten. My dad called the police. I was curious what made such big foot prints. I followed them. They led to a big cave. I came home. I didn't tellmy dad because I didn't want to get into trouble. The next night I watched. I saw the giant. I thought of a trap. I tied some meat to a rope and let the giant chase after it. I was too scared and I ran slow. I couldn't catch it. This time I told my dad. He didn't believe me. He asked for proof. The next night we stayed up. We made him trip. We tied him up. We gave it to the zoo. We saw him at the zoo. Now it is a safe place to go camping.
