NOTE: Sorry I went .... 6 words over the limit but that's as short as I could get. I started off with...about 500 words and I had to shorten it and this is as far as I got to. I hope 6 words over the limit won't matter much. Thank you, Cherry. :)
Patience
Mel ran out of bed, into her parents’ room, excitedly. "Mummy! Daddy! Wake up! It's Christmas!"
"No, Mel. It's not. It's still July. The 2nd of July. Now go back to bed. It's only... five in the morning."
"Aww!" Mel walked back into her room, disheartened.
************************************
Mel woke up the next day and ran over to her parents’ room and jumped on their bed. "Mummy, daddy! Wake up its Christmas!"
"No, Mel. It's still July. Now go back to bed.”
Mel walked back into her room, very disappointed.
*************************************
Mel woke her parents every day, thinking it was Christmas.
"Mummy! Daddy! It's Christmas now! It says that on the calendar. It is 24th! Yayy!"
"No, Mel. It's Christmas Eve. Tomorrow is Christmas. Now go back to bed."
So Mel went back to bed, tired.
******************************************
Soon, it was Christmas day, when all was quiet. Mel's parents woke up to find Mel sleeping peacefully in her bed. They were surprised she didn't wake them up, especially on Christmas day.
Mum and dad went into Mel’s bedroom, feeling sorry for her.
"Honey? Wake up. It's Christmas!"
Mel lay asleep.
"We have lots of presents for you!"
Mel didn't get up.
"I have a plan. Come with me!"
Mel got up a while later. She heard some music from downstairs. She walked downstairs. She saw a big Christmas banner and saw the whole room decorated. She saw presents under the tree with her name. Mel's waiting finally came to an end and she had the BEST CHRISTMAS ever!!
