From words to sentences to story: Happy hippie girl

     One lovely day, a hippie girl whose name is Moon got invited to the neon party. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any neon clothes to wear. So she went to the mall to look for a new skirt but she was running late because the shops were about to close. 

        

        Moon was passing by a shop and a skirt caught her attention; the shop was still open. So she went into the shop and she saw another customer looking at the same skirt; it was exactly the neon skirt she wanted. Moon was so excited that she found the skirt but she didn't have enough time to try it on. Since she had the money in her pocket, a hole was burning in her pocket. She took the skirt and went to the cashier. She was waiting in a big line but unfortunately, the cashier closed the register just in front of her, as she was so excited and hoping to pay. Bummer! She decided to go against it. She started asking for a store manager but there was no manager there at that time. In fact she got all upset about it and she left the boutique.  She was trying not to think about the skirt any more but she couldn't help it; restlessness. She was so impatient for the next day to go back to the store and get the skirt.

        The next day when Moon woke up her mind was all about that skirt. She rushed to the store to buy the skirt. As soon as she got there she picked the neon skirt right away and went to try it on. The skirt fitted perfectly and finally, she went to buy it. That felt so good. Elation! She couldn't wait to get home to find the perfect match for her skirt. So, she brought it home and tried it on again with her other clothes. Bummer! She found out that it didn't fit any of her tops. What now? She got so sad because she really liked the skirt but she could find the right match. Therefore, Moon decided to go back to the mall to find the matching top for her skirt. When she got there she went to the same shop where she bought her skirt. After spending some time looking around, she found the right top. So, she went to the register to pay for it. Guess what? The same story happened with the cashier. But, at this time the cashier was nice to her and decided to let her pay for the top. 

          Happy hippie girl went to the neon party and had a blast there. As a result, she learned a lesson: "you should always organize your time and carefully think about what you are buying if you don't want to get upset later".
