Mr. Thompson's class is writing stories about birds. Read a part of each story and choose the one that is the BEST example of fiction.

• One day, my sister and I were walking through the woods and came upon a nest. I peered inside to see two tiny blue shells. "Aren't they beautiful?" asked my sister

• Last night, I heard scratching on my window. I was scared, so I called my mom. My mom peered out the window. "Look, silly!" she said. "A bird has made a nest on your windowsill."

• I was waiting for the bus one day when I heard a tiny voice. "Can you help us?" asked the voice. I looked up into a tree to see a beautiful red bird talking. "Our nest blew out of the tree in last week's storm."
