Author's Note: In writing lab, Mr. Graf told us to write an ending to "Thank you Ma'am." Writing this ending was actually fun, and I liked what I wrote so I decided to post it on my blog. Please watch for good sentence fluency throughout my piece.
...He barely managed to say “Thank you” before she shut the door....
As the door was slammed into his face, the boy started to question the old lady. Why had she given him $10 after he was trying to steal from her? Why did she invite him into her home after he showed disrespect for her? These questions were re-playing through his mind over and over again. As he started walking down the street, to the store with the shoes he wanted, he heard screaming coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw the lady chasing after him. Without question Rodger stood still in his place on the side of the road. When the lady finally caught up to him, Rodger found himself staring straight into the eyes of someone you don’t want to mess with.
Wondering why she was so upset he asked, “Why did you run all the way here to talk to me again?”
The lady replied, “Do you have a place to stay?”
“No ma’am”stated Roger.
“Then lets head back to my home, I’m sure my family wouldn’t mind a visitor for a while.”
“Ma’am? Why are you inviting me back? I just tried to steal from you?”
“You have learned your lesson, yes?”
“Yes ma’am.”
Rodger had nothing else to say, and he knew the lady wouldn’t let him walk away. So, on the way back to the house, they talked about where they were from and about their families. When they finally reached the door, Mrs Jones stated,
“Tomorrow,we can head to the store and pick up your new pair of shoes”
“Thank you ma’am.”
