Peter at Homeschool 11/5

Peter:
So, once upon a time, there was a man and he had a wife. So, the man was in the Forrest and saw a weasel. The weasel strartled him. The man yelled out loud and startled the weasel and the weasel dropped what he was doing and holding. The man picks it up and he thinks he sees a golden ring in the spit on it. He wipes it off on his shaggy clothes and then he sees a golden ring. He remembers his mom telling him stories about golden rings and so ya know, he said the magic words... "Magic, magic, magic ring... do your bidding as you are told". He wished for a bag of gold and the bag of gold just magically appeared by his feet. He looks down at the bag of gold and picks it up and then hurries through the woods to the store and buys his wife a shawl and some food to last them months. So he gets to his house and he tells his wife what miracle had happened. His wife says, "did you steel that ring?" He said, "no a weasel gave it to me." Every time she heard that she pretended to cry. And so the wife took that ring from the man and she said, "What are the magic words?" Because she knew about the magic ring too. "Magic, magic, magic ring, do your bidding as you are told!" And she turned the man into a werewolf. The wife got whatever she wanted. The man was pretty unhappy and he went to the house and saw the chest that his wife had hidden the key to. He took the key out and said the magic words. "Magic, magic, magic ring, do your bidding as you are told." The man hears donkey hoof steps and a donkey appears. And then the man went in the house smiling. Because he turned his wife into a donkey.
