Once upon a time, there was a blue
fish named Corie.
Corie has a special purple shell. It’s
shiny and sparkles when light hits it.
Corie’s grandparents gave it to her
when she was little.
One day Corie and her shiny purple
shell went to Koy's r us!
Corrie wanted to buy a purple shell
for her friend lemmo’s birthday.
When corie picked up lemmo’s shell,
she set hers down on the shelf.
Once corie found the perfect shell
she went to checkout, and paid $100
for the shell.
She grabbed the bag with Lemmo’s
purple shell, got into her car when
she realized she forgot something…
HER PURPLE SHELL!
Corie the swims back inside saying “I
couldn't have left my shell! Maybe I
didn’t bring it with me” Corie then
calls her mom and yells. HAVE YOU
SEEN MY PURPLE SHELL!!!
Corie swims out to her car to see if
she can find her shell, but she can’t.
She swims back inside to bargain with
the salesperson to get her another
one.
The salesperson says no and she gets
angry. She swims around the store
yelling “WHERE’S MY PURPLE
SHELL!”
After a while of searching, Corie
becomes sad and drives home to tell
her parents.
When Corie got home she went
straight to bed.
The next morning Corie woke up and
told her parents what happened.
Corie’s parents helped her make a
plan to find it.
Even though Corie made the plan to
find it, she never did.
Eventually Corie accepted that her
purple shell was gone and moved on.
