Dear Diary,
Today, I bought a red bicycle with the money I saved. It took me a whole year to save enough from my babysitting jobs! The bike has a white racing stripe and a bell on the handlebars. None of the other kids at school has a bike like this one. Dad is going to buy me a flashing light to put on the back. Then I will be all set to ride it to school. I think today is the happiest day of my life so far!
Imagine the story is being told by the narrator’s grandmother. How would it likely be different?
