Retold By: Sandrea

A man named Mr. Bailey was driving down the street and a cool breeze came past him. Then he had did a thump and hit a man who he thought was a deer. He got out of his car and helped the man into his car and drove away.

When the doctor had arrived he had checked the stranger and he was ok. The doc had left his thermometer and Mrs. Bailey had noticed it and tried to give it back but the doctor had said it was broke. That night the Baileys had soup for dinner. Katy there daughter had blown on her soup then the stranger did the same but he gave Mrs. Bailey a cold shiver.

The next day the weather was the same and it felt like summer but it was suppose to be fall. When the stranger went outside there were bunnies in the Baileys yard the stranger had came to them but the bunnies didn’t hop away they came to the stranger the stranger had picked up one and swung one around.

That evening Katy had sat outside with the stranger and watch the sun set high above then came a flock of geese. The geese made the letter v. Two weeks had passed and the stranger still could not remember who he was. The family he had stayed with didn’t mind. They liked having the stranger around.

The next day at dinner the stranger had came down to the family while they were at dinner with tears in his eyes. They new that he wanted to leave he had remembered himself over night he had left. Without saying goodbye to the Baileys.
