The Last Cookie: Bellina Answers Mermaidia’s Question

Posted on June 7, 2016 by lillian

Hey, everyone! This is part 3 of The Last Cookie. I hope you enjoy!

Mermaidia had gone to sleep thinking,”When will she give me my answer?” She woke up thinking,”Today is going to be the day when I receive the answer. I can feel it in my bones.”

Mermaidia waited so long that she had to flutter, pace, swim, and practice curtsying. She sat where Mermaidia had thought of a solution which was on a flying chair in the living room.

Finally, Bellina said, “I’m ready to give you your answer.” Bellina answered, “Yes, you may have half of the cookie. Thank you for asking, Mermaidia!”

This is the end of part 3 of The Last Cookie. What do you think Mermaidia and Bellina will do next? How long do you think Mermaidia waited to hear from her sister from the sentences in Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? Tune in for the 4th (the last part) of The Last Cookie to find out the answers on Thursday!

Yummy Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies!
