In English today, I had to get together with a group of people to write a story that is 55 words or less. Of course, me being the over-achiever did most of the work. I thought it was a funny story with a good ending. Here it is:

ON a hot humid day, Billy desired a frozen treat. Blocking himself from the scorching summer sun, he relaxed under the shading tree.

Suddenly, a melody soothingly approached his ears. The ice cream truck emerged from the corner of the street and Billy was overcome with excitement.

Sadly, Billy had no money.
