The Lost Baby by Grant

                    Once upon a time, there was a poor family, who owned nothing, except for hope. Hope for something wonderful to happen to them. Whenever they found anything useful, they would just get robbed by someone. The mother’s name was Trinity Azkaban, and the father’s name was Woodrow Robinson. But it was very hard for them to provide for their two 7 and 9 year old daughters, because they lived in a City of Thieves!

                                   The 7 year old daughter’s name was Nicki, and the 9 year old’s name was Ruby. But Trinity and Woodrow had a secret that they were never going to tell the children. When their first child was born (not the 9 year old) , it was stolen by a man with a knife and a torch.
The man had a long grey beard, big black eyes, and ripped clothing. They never saw their baby again.                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                            Little did they know, the stolen child was offered to a rich family in New York, but the family declined so the man abandoned the infant onto the streets of New York. Meanwhile, in the City of Thieves…  
“Trinity” Woodrow said, “We have to find some food for the children.” He said. “I know, I know, I found some food in the dumpster.” She said. “Good because Nicki and Ruby are starving.” He said. “Mommy, did you find any food yet?” Nicki asked. “Yes, it’s spaghetti, eat up” Trinity said. Mom, did you see this beautiful crocus in my hair, I also found a shawl to go with it.” said Nicki. “You look beautiful darling, Nicki do you know where---HIDE!” she said. The same man with the grey beard and big black eyes was walking toward them!


                              “RUN!” Trinity screamed. All of them took off, and as they were running down the street, they ran into Ruby. “Ruby, run!” Woodrow said. Then they heard the man saying, “ Give me that food!”. When they were about to pass an orphanage, there was a boy who said, “Quick, hide in here!”. When they were in the orphanage, the boy locked the door and told his story, then Trinity told the family’s. The boy asked for her name, and he knew that they were related.


                               The family, reunited once again wanted to move to the streets of Chicago to start a new beginning as a whole family. Six months later, Trinity and Woodrow found jobs, and bought a floor in an apartment,
And they had a wonderful view of a beautiful fount.

                            ...And they lived happily ever after
                               That is the narrative of The Lost Baby
