Teeny By Ms. Barb
Hello everyone, I am a teeny tiny elf named Teeny. My parents were normal sized, in fact, in Elf Land where we lived they were thought to be giants. Their names were Gigantus, my dad, and Maximus Irene, my mom. I am only 12 inches tall, but I am a fully developed and kind 11-year-old girl. I have lots of friends, some tiny like me and some are really tall. Joseph, my best friend, is really tall…He is 27 ½ inches tall. My mom and dad as I have told you were really tall—Mom was 4 ½ feet tall (54 inches) and my dad was 5 ½ feet or 66 inches tall. Everyone in Elf Land looks alike. They all have 3 eyes, one ear, and giant teeth, which they use to eat their favorite foods—slimy, slithering snakes and rotted vegetables. They fight a lot and even bite each other and pull their long enormous tails. But, worst of all, they say mean things about other people, tell lies and insult everyone about everything. They call me Teeny Monster because I don’t look like or act like them. Neither does my friend Joseph who actually looks like everyone else but is peaceful and kind. I don’t care if they think I’m a monster because I know I am a good teeny tiny elf. My eyes are wide open and I think the world is beautiful just like me.
