Hi, Shirlene. You have many nice phrases here and a good story. As you are mainly writing in the past tense, I will change the wording to reflect that.
A Little Story (title should always be in initial capitals)
This is a little story I made by constructing several new phrases. Just please forget the logic (logical) of the story and help me correct my writing mistakes if you want. Thanks a lot!
