Title: Summarising the Snaggegrollop

Somebody

Sam

Wanted

A pet

But

His parents did not let him

So

He instead brought a Snagglegrollop but the Snagglegrollop felt very lonely because he didn’t have a true best friend.

Then

Emily got a QuibbleSnuff and Sam’s Snagglegrollop felt enchanted with her. The two monsters then flew away together forever and were happy.

Sam was dieing for a pet. But his parents would make excuses because they knew that a pet would mean lots of work. Then a brilliant idea hit Sams head. Sam thought of having a Snagglegrollop for a pet. His parents thought that he was making it all up, so they agreed that he should have a Snagglegrollop.  

One day after school, Sam actually brought a Snagglegrollop home. His parents were amazed and surprised at the same time. His dad felt sad for him so he let him keep it but it was his responsibility. He

washed it, he dried it and made him clean as water. Sam's family were soon very happy about the Snagglegrollop. But the Snagglegrollop was sometimes sad because he felt very lonely and didn't have a best friend.

Emily, (Sam's best friend) wanted a pet too. "Why don't you have a Snagglegrollop?" Sam asked. "I would rather have a QuibbleSnuff!"

The next day Emily brought her QuibbleSnuff to the park. Sam's family was there also with Sam's Snagglegrollop. When the Snagglegrollop saw the QuibbleSnuff, he was blushing.

Then Straight away they were together. They made each other laugh and had fantastic days together. 

As the day went, the two love birds held each others hand and flew away together. Emily and Sam didn't know they could do that and wondered if they would see them again!
