How My Fort Fell Down

One day I thought it would be fun to build a fort up in our tree. So first I got two T-posts and a piece of plywood and some carpet. I didn’t know how to get the plywood in the tree, so I leaned it against the tree and I climbed up the tree and stepped on two branches and then reached down and picked up the plywood, and leaned it on a branch. I grabbed the two T-posts and pulled them up in the tree. I put them on two branches and nailed them with a hammer. Then I took the piece of plywood that was leaning against the branches and laid it on the T-posts. I used three more pieces of plywood to build the sides. Then I lifted a piece of carpet and laid it on top. I went to sit in my tree house, but suddenly I heard a little snap and it fell! It really scared me! All my feelings dropped because it took two days to build. Then God helped me to be happy without a tree house. Instead, my sister built a nest on top of the tree. We had a lot of fun playing hide-and-seek after that.
