Pumpkin Story

Pumpkin Story

One of Zac’s favourite foods was pumpkin soup. He asked his father to take him to the supermarket to get pumpkins since they were in season, for pumpkin soup.  

“You know Zac, instead of having to go to the market every week, you can grow your own pumpkin in the garden”, exclaimed his father.  

“What a great idea”, thought Zac.  The sun dropped from the sky, it was time for Zac to go to bed.  

At dawn, he rushed to get ready for the morning. Jumping out of bed he walked to the bathroom.  Zac ambled to the kitchen, he saw his mum and dad.  Feeding himself on a bowl of cereal, he reminded his father that they were going to plant pumpkins.  It was too early in the morning so his dad suggested to start planting around 10 o’clock. Hour by hour passed, until it was the right time to plant the pumpkin seeds.  

His father went to his little rusty shed and brought out a little bag that was full of pumpkin seeds.  Zac’s father instructed Zac how to plant them.  First he dug a little hole, then pushed a seed in, and finally tipped more soil on top.  Everyday Zac would water the seeds.  A few months later he noticed little yellow flowers where he planted the seeds.  In order to make sure the pumpkins grew healthy he looked after it better than anything else he had.

3 months later the flowers transformed into pumpkins.  But they were not ready yet so he had to wait a few more weeks until they were ripe.  One day Zac’s father recommended that it was time for the pumpkins to be harvested.  They slowly and gently harvested the pumpkin and took it to the kitchen to be cleaned.  After washing and drying the pumpkin they placed it on a board to cut it into slices for pumpkin soup.  They had to wait for the soup to be ready. When it was done, mum got home really hungry.  Dad brought the soup to the table.  

“This is the best pumpkin soup I’ve ever tasted!” Zac said after the scrumptious homemade soup.

This is my writing about a boy who likes pumpkin soup. He grows his own pumpkin in his backyard at home with the help of his father. He had to wait a really long time for the pumpkins to be ready. When the pumpkins were ready Zac and his father made pumpkin soup.
