Snakes on a Kindergarten Class II
Saturday, May 20th, 2006A few days ago our friend Matt sent in a picture of his Kindergarten class holding up drawings they had made of the teaser poster, and, despite some controversy in the comments, we all found it cute. So cute, in fact, that Matt sent in a second picture of his class, as well as the coloring book pattern he made for his kids (it’s big so you can print it out and use it for your kids, too):
At the time Matt mentioned that he had a children’s version of the Snakes on a Plane story that he had been telling to his class and I asked him to type it up for us. It’s long, so I’m only going to put the first paragraph before the jump, but follow the link and you can read the whole thing. He asked me to preface the story by saying, “It may seem lame when you’re reading it, but with the right dramatical storytelling… it is a classic!” Here we go:
Once upon a time, in Hawaii, there was a man named Job having a good time at a luau. When the luau ended, Job threw his pineappled ham into the trash and went to his car. As he was unlocking his car, he heard… “HELP ME!!! PLEASE HELP ME!” Someone was in trouble. Now Job was a good man, so he decided to go find out who was screaming and see if he could help. He walked towards the voice, but he turned the corner…he saw something that he would NEVER forget! Twenty feet in front of him he saw Mr. No-Good, the infamous Hawaiian villain whom no one had ever seen before, steeling an old woman’s purse and cookies. Now Job was a good man and wanted to help the old woman, but he didn’t want Mr. No-Good to find out who he was, so he ran to the police station. As he burst through the doors he began shouting, “I JUST SAW MR. NO-GOOD STEALING COOKIES OUTSIDE”.
