Grown-up Lily
by Yoav Schwartz
Chapter #1
Lily Harriet Barman never, ever, in her life had so much worried about growing up.
It all started one gloomy evening when Lily Harriet Barman heard her elder sister, Mary Susan, her eldest sister, Isabella Aileen, and her parents talking in la sala, the living-
room. She heard Isabella Aileen eating las uvas, grapes. Then, she heard Mary say:
“Why we live in america when we come from Mexico? Why we say, “Oh, America de Norte is good,” when we have Mexico?”
Now, the true ground the family came from was Mexico. When they left Mexico, Isabella Aileen having cancer. She recover soon, so then she could walk with Lily Harriet to the lake. They lived on Cornell Street, on 6D.
Chapter #2
For spring-break they went to Washington D. C.. They left on Friday and came came back on Tuesday. They went to Harriet’s, Hard Rock, and stayed at Hotel Harrington on the 8th floor. They saw Phineas and Ferb, Hannah Montana, Cory in the house, Life with Derek, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. It was almost winter-break and Lily’s parents were planing on going to Florida. Since they lived in Chicago, Illinois, it would be fun to fly down to Florida. Now, back to the contract. Poor Lily! She was so used to Illinois and didn’t want to go back.
Even though she missed Mexico, she hated planes, especially long ones.
