West School Third Grade Writers Ivan The Terrible^ By LISA BUCHANAN One day I was reading the newspaper and I saw a babysitting ad. I needed the extra money to buy my friend a birthday present. I decided to take the ]ob. When I found the right house I rang the doorbell. The lady opened the door and said, "I know you and Ivan will have a wonderful time together. I’ll be back sooa" When she left Ivan came running at me. He bit my leg and hid behind the couch. After awhUe we were getting along pretty good until Ivan ran as hard as he could and kicked me up In the air. I got mad at him and chased him up the stairs. He slid down the rail and ran back up the stairs and kicked me up the stairs. All afternoon Ivan kicked me up In the air and pinched me. When his mother came back and said, "How was your day?” Ivan said, "We had a wonderful time." "Well, good," said Ivan’s mother. "I hope you will babysit for me again." I said I don’t believe I could. "Good-bye.” From that day on I never babysltted again. I made up aname for Ivan...

When he got to the very young nice delicate lady’s house he Jumped In and bit the very young nice delicate lady’s leg. ’Then she Jumped out of the huge red door. ’Then Ivan locked the door and fixed the big doorknob so that a key could not unlock the door. When she couldn’t unlock the door she went away. Meanwhile Ivan was being very mean to the baby.
