Luke's version of Peter Rabbit

For a Valentine's gift to Matt's parents, I thought it would be cute for Luke to write a story.  Here's what he came up with. We call it Luke's Peter Rabbit.

Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Peter.  Peter went through a fence.  Once upon a time, he was running so fast in a race,  He was running so fast.

Once upon a time, he saw a man raking his leaves, and he was mean.  Peter ran away from the man.  He got through the fence fast.  Then he saw the man again.

Then there was a big mean wolf.  The wolf was so fast running.  Peter ran from the big mean wolf.  Peter ran fast enough to the pond.  The he swam so fast to get away from the big mean wolf.

Then the big mean wolf got tired and went home.  Then Peter went  home and played lots and lots and lots and lots of toys.  The End.
