Okay, so I wrote this as an assignment for my teacher. We had to write a short story using all of our vocabulary words. Fun, right? Well, my friends and teacher found it amusing, so I hope you guys like it too. The vocabulary words are in bold.
Dagmar was a pariah in her town. No one-and I mean no one-could stand to be around her. People on the street, even penniless bum, affronted her when she walked past. When she walked into school, people gave her looks of tacit disapproval.
Since Dagmar picked up a pencil and drew a lovely ocean scene, it was obvious that she was an art prodigy. But when people still hated her, he gave up art and when into a career of cleaning. She, then, worked as the protege of Clyde Dogerdom as a custodian at a local elementary school.
One day, while mopping the cafeteria, she made a lapse and spilled the mop water on the floor. Clyde busted into a raucous rant at the sight of the spilled water. Though Clyde was angry, he was adroit at mopping up the spill before the little students arrived for breakfast.
Dagmar got fired the next day for hitting a child with a broom. This only made people hate her more. She was still an erudite cleaner though. She soon found that cleaning was more of an avocation than a job. Dagmar flew to Norway because she had been inducted into the League of Janitorial Arts.
Dagmar had started out very militant to be accepted, and now her crusade is over. The definitive lesson in Dagmar's story is, never change your demeanor to be accepted. Be true to yourself, and everything will turn out fine.
