The Geode

My friend Noa came back from California, she is my school friend.  She came back with two geodes and she gave me one.  That night I cracked mine open, it was so beautiful.  I called Noa and said “it was beautiful”.  She cracked hers open and said “it’s a dud”. I started to rap the smaller half of my geode my mom said “why don’t you give her the bigger half?” I  said, ”yah I’ll give her the bigger half” so I started raping the bigger one.  Abby was crying on the couch because she wanted a geode.  I gave the smaller half to her because I felt that she needed to have a geode.  After it was wrapped I said, "I think its better to be a good friend than to have a geode.”  The next day I gave Noa the geode at school.  We went into the bathroom to see it because we didn’t want anyone to see it.  We were going to show and tell it.  Noa said, “the geode diamonds looked like soap.”

Something else that I want to add is that Madison and Noa went on a field trip to a rock quarry where Noa's mom was a chapperone.  At the rock quarry the girls searched for geodes and we sad when they didn't find any.  That is why Noa bought one for Madison too.  When Madison got one and Abby didn't, Abby cried in the car and was very sad.  I said, "Well, when we crack it there will be two pieces and Madison might give you the other half."  So when Noa's mom texted us and told us Noa's was a dud and Madison was going to give Noa half of her geode Abby knew that she now wasn't going to get half.  That was why she was crying on the couch.  On the way to school that morning Madison was so excited and said, "I can't wait to see Noa's face when she sees the geode".
