The other night I was reading the Amelia Bedelia book, when my mom told me to put out the light and go to sleep. And as I remember doing this correctly, I put the book on my nightstand and went to sleep. The next day, I saw my book, and I decided to read it after I freshened up. When I came back and looked at the pages, I noticed that were no pictures! And I know what you are thinking, big deal, all the pictures are missing. But the story that I am about to tell you, will really shock you!!!! And the only way for you to really understand it, is to start the story from the beginning. Tape Rewinds:

In the morning, I woke up
as usual and tidied up. I looked at my nightstand and got ready to read my copy
of the Amelia Bedelia book when…Aaaaahhhhh!!! The book... had… no… pictures!!!
I knew that it was a mistake so I went to the living room, and once again, I
screamed! Aaaaahhhhh!!! But, this time it was strange cause for me to scream
and I will tell you what had caused me to scream. I was in the living room with
Amelia Bedelia staring at me. I was completely astonished! And in my mind. I
had been thinking of what to do, and I finally did!! Since in all the Amelia
Bedelia books, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers hire Amelia as their personal maid, I shall
do the same!!!
Her first task was to “draw the drapes from the beam of sunlight
entering the furniture”, and, to my horror, she didn’t close the drapes, but
she drew them! My costly furniture was now faded and looked dull! I thought
that she was joking around, so I gave her another task and this one was to make
apple pie. I left for an afternoon snack and I wished I hadn’t because, Amelia
Bedelia had dropped the pie!! I screamed and yelled in fury, and asked her, do
you know the value of the pie! She said yes, and she said that the value of 𝝅 is 3.14! I was
now aggravated! I told Amelia Bedelia to step back and she stepped all the way
back and fell into my costly utensils and they shattered to pieces! I said,
That’s Enough, Amelia Bedelia.
After a while I asked her to “change the towels”, and to put out
fancy ones, and, to my horror, she cut them all into strips! My costly towel
was now changed to a pile of strips by her way of usual understanding, and,
Amelia Bedelia cut them in just a second! I thought that she was kidding, so I
gave her another task and this one was to dust the furniture. I left for a
quick nap and I wished I hadn’t because, Amelia Bedelia had literally put dust
all over the furniture!! I screamed and yelled in fury, but she just looked
really puzzled, so I calmed myself down, and asked her why she dusted the
furniture. And she politely replied you asked me to do so.
And when I said it out loud it finally made sense!! I went to the
library and searched frantically for Amelia Bedelia's books, and when I finally
did, I flipped through the pages, and I found out all the misunderstood things
that Amelia Bedelia had done. I went back to the living room and I said “Amelia
Bedelia, you have to go back into your book!” I showed her the book and she
screamed “No”!! She went back into the book and I heard a strange Buzzing and
it was my Fit Bit, and then, I realized that it was all a dream. And I also
realized that Amelia Bedelia should not have been in real life because she is
supposed to be in a book as a fictional character, and if Amelia really did
come in real life, it would be catastrophic
