Hands-On Folktales proudly presents the winning short story by Eugene M.

Sam loves cotton candy.  She don’t want to leave without her cotton candy.  So, Sam went to the store. She didn’t see her favorite cotton candy there.  In the morning, Daddy and Mama woke up because Sam was having a fit…about cotton candy.

Next week, a Cotton Candy Contest was announced.   Whoever wins the contest receives a prize of one million dollars.

Sam was so excited about the million dollar prize.  She said “I will win this contest!”.

So, when the day of the contest arrived Sam went back to the store and bought three kinds of cotton candy.  She had blueberry, strawberry, and bubble gum.  They started the contest at five but she got there at four.  Perfect timing.

Now that five o’clock came, the contest has started.  Sam mixed all of her cotton candy up and it turned out right.
