The Fair
Writing Practice Finish the Story

Directions: Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.

Today is the opening day of the state fair. I am going with my dad. We go together every year. I
always have fun at the fair.
We wait until the evening, when it is cooler outside. Then, we get in the car and drive to the
fairgrounds. We have to park far away because it is very crowded. We walk for a long time. Then, we
finally arrive at the fair!
We are both very hungry. We look for someone selling food. Then, we find someone selling
hamburgers. I eat a hamburger and my dad eats a slice of pizza. I want an ice cream cone, too. But, my dad
tells me to wait until later.
Next, we go to the petting zoo. I pet a sheep and a goat. I ride a pony around a ring. It is scary at
first, but I have a lot of fun.
Now it is time to ride the carnival rides. Which one should I ride first!
