Creative writing sample-Tyler

This is an unedited writing sample from a story Tyler is writing (4th grade)


“Sir, you may come in.” the nurse said to a man. The man walked into the delivery room.


Another nurse was standing by a bed in the room, on the bed was a woman covered in a blanket. In her hands there laid a messy, silent baby also wrapped in a blanket. The woman was smiling, looking at the man. The man smiled and walked over to the baby. Then he touched the newborn baby’s head softly.

Then the nurse said, “Let’s clean the blood off the baby and I’ll run some tests on him. And I’m curious about the way he acts. He’s not crying… a-and his, left leg… isn’t moving.

There was a long pause by every one in the room. “Um, I’ll go run some tests on him.” the nurse said smiling and trying not to get the others to worried.


“Yes, just stay here and we’ll be back soon.” the other nurse said gently grabbing the baby from the woman. The two nurses walked out of the room quickly.

Outside the room, the two nurses stopped walking and a nurse said “You know what? I’m not sure but I think he’s paralyzed… the baby I mean.”


“That is just what I was thinking that too” said the nurse holding the baby. “Because he hasn’t moved his left leg. And he has moved his right leg a lot.

Humorous Writing sample-Tyler

Tyler loves to do humorous creative writing. Here is a sample from one of his stories (4th grade).


“Wake up Jason! Today they are starting to build the house!” said Jason’s sister Amy.

Jason and Amy are ants… uh, yeah, talking, ants. And they have a huge ant family of two hundred eighty s-. Um, I was going to say 287 but a few of the ants just got stepped on. So now there are 284 ants.

You are probably thinking who’s gonna plan the funeral, and stuff like that. Well, just in case you MIGHT NOT BE AN ANT! The ant family has relatives die every day. Actually about twenty to thirty ants die a day. It’s normal, not that they don’t care about the ants, it’s just that they don’t have the time for funerals and stuff like that. But yes, they do get sad… of course.
