TINY TOM AND FAMILY
By: Derrick Thompson
This is a story about a guy whose name was Tiny Tom. You see, Tiny Tom was
so small that even a mouse we bigger then he was. Tiny Tom was a very smart young
man and he knew what was best for him. He is nice to everyone and everyone loves this
tiny guy named Tiny Tom.
Tiny Tom uses a match box for his bed. He lives in a big doll house where he has
plenty of room and a great view out the window. The house even has an outdoor pool in
the back yard. He uses a remote control car for his real car. Tiny drives that car
everywhere and he takes great care of his car. Tiny also has a family with a wife and 2
beautiful kids. They are a wonderful family together.
One day Tiny was out mowing the lawn with a nose hair trimmer when an army
of red ants came to the territory and told Tiny he had 1 week to get off the land or else
they would have to fight them. You do not want to mess with red ants, because they are
by far the meanest things you’ll find besides the termites in the basement. Now Tiny does
not like violence at all, but if he has to move he doesn’t know where he and his family
would live. So that night he told his wife and she got worried. She was worried about
the children because they love their kids a lot. Three days had passed and Tiny still not
knowing what to do was getting scared. If he stays in his house the army of ants could
come and hurt his family and Tiny didn’t want that at all but then again if he moved he
and his family would be out on the street probably for a very, very long time. Tiny had
no clue what to do. The night before the army of ants was due to come Tiny stayed up
thinking what to do. As he watch his kids sleeping pleasantly tucked in their beds, out of
nowhere an idea came to him.
He could go up to Water World which is actually the bathroom where the rest of
his family lives, get them and bring them back to fight. So that night, Tiny started his
way to Water World to get his family to help him beat the army of ants. It was about a 3
hour drive just to get there plus he had to stop twice to go to the bathroom. Once he
finally arrived, he went to his cousin’s house and knocked on the door. His cousins who
were sleeping came to the door and saw that it was their friendly cousin Tiny. They
brought him inside and Tiny told them what the army of ants was going to do to them if
they don’t get off that property. So his cousin said no one messes with our Tiny so he
woke up the whole town of Water World and they were on their way back to Tom’s
house. When they got there it was daylight and you could see the army of ants march
their way towards them.
They were singing the ants go marching one by one hoorah, hooorah. Tiny was
shaking because he was so scared. The army of ants was a lot bigger this time then the
last time he saw them. Tiny had with him a bottle cap for a shield and a bobby pin for a
spear. He also had some ant repellent he had found at Water World the night before.
The ants had finally reached them and the leader started to say something. “So I
see you have taken the hard way.” The leader then rose up one of his arms and right
before he yelled charge a big huge giant came and scooped up the whole army of ants and
put them in a glass farm.
Tiny and his family were so relieved that they did not have to fight because they
knew that they were going to lose. That they partied at Tiny’s house all night. After that
no one ever messed with Tiny and his wonderful family and they of course lived happily
ever after.
