THE STRANGER

By Chris Van Allsburg

Retold By Aniyah

When Mr. Bailey was driving home in his truck he heard a

loud thump. He thought he hit a deer but it was a man.

Then he help the man into his truck.

Mr. Bailey took the stranger into his home and asked him

some questions. But he didn’t understand them.Mr. and

Mrs. Bailey called the doctor and the said he had lost his

memory. He had a big bump on the back of his head.

Mr. Bailey gave the stranger some clean clothes but he

didn’t know which hole will go in which. Then the stranger

blew gently across hi soup. Then he and Mr. Bailey

started to work. But Mr. Bailey was tired but the stranger

was never tired.

The Stranger was hypnotized and then two week later

couldn’t remember things still. They liked having him

around also he became one of the family and he was

happy being there too.Also he had seen rabbits and they

were hoping.

It seemed autumn was around the corner and the seasons

didn’t change. The pumpkins was large and the stranger

climbed the highest hill .He saw red and orange leaves and

they were bright.

The stranger didn’t like the leaves because they were so

ugly . He thought the trees should of been red and orange.

His feelings grew the next day and he thought something

was wrong. He blew on a leaf because he came upset.

At dinner he hugged the Baileys, he was wearing his old

clothes and was crying. The baileys knew he was going to

leave and they waved goodbye. But he already

disappeared and it was cold too. Also the leafs wasn’t

never green.

Every since the stranger visited it was still the same at

Baileys farm. The trees got bright and the farm had frost on

the window from the stranger saying see you next fall.
