My New Friend

I wrote this story a couple of years ago as part of three stories about a little girl named Ally. This is actually the second story and is meant to be read as a picture book but am not very artistic and haven't had the courage yet to try and get it published.

Hi my name is Ally.
I met a new friend today.
The Sun was out today.
I went into the Garden to Play.
I spun and danced around the garden.
I saw my football on the grass and picked it up.
On it sat the biggest, scariest and hairiest spider I had ever, ever seen!
I dropped the ball and ran to my Mum in the kitchen.
“Mum, Mum there is this big spider on my ball!” I told her.
“Think about how big you are if it is still there” Mum said “It will seem much smaller.
“Oh” I said.
I went out and looked at the spider and it did seem smaller.
I went back inside.
“Mum?”
“Yes Ally” She said.
“The spider is very hairy” I said
“It’s just trying to keep warm like when you put on a jumper.” She told me.
“Oh” I said
I went outside again.
Looking at the spider.
I decided its hair was just like my jumper.
I went back inside.
“Mum?”
“Yes Ally” she said.
“The spider still looks scary” I said.
“Well the spider might find you scary too. You look very different from him.” She said.
“Oh” I said.
I went outside again.
I came back in with my ball the spider sitting on top.
“I have made a new friend Mum” I told her.
“Can I keep him? Please?” I asked.
“Mmm……well…..you could keep him in the garden?” she said.
“Oh” I said “Cool!”
I heard my mummy sigh.
I had a new friend!
