Frogs: On This Day in 2005

I wrote this story in my first grade journal on this day in 2005. Before you read this story, I would like you to look at this picture I drew to accompany it: 

Can you tell what this is? What sort of story would you expect to go with it? Now, on to the story:

January 31, 2005

The boy snuck the frogs in his backpack. Then, before she got to her desk he pote the frogs in her scool box. When she got to her desk she opened her scool box and she screemed. She hats him. And he hates her.

Analysis (I didn't think much translation was needed here): 

Isn't that such a sweet, original story? Not only does it include the theme of hate, it also seems to be fairly directly based upon Matilda (Roald Dahl) and possibly Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery). In Matilda, the title character and her best friend Amber plot revenge against the evil school principal by hiding a salamander in one of their school boxes and putting it in the principal's water pitcher. In Anne of Green Gables, Anne hates Gilbert, and, in the eyes of a young listener, Gilbert hates Anne as well. Oh, well. I guess you have to start somewhere...
