My Norman Story!

 A long time ago when Pierre was boy there was a big battle between the English and the French.

 One day, while Pierre was having dinner with his mother and father, in their small French cottage, there was a big, loud knock on the tall wooden door. Pierre’s father, who was a big man with a long grey beard, went to answer the door. At the door there was a tall, fat man with a grey beard. “I have come to tell you that you have been ordered to go into battle against the English.” Said the man with the long grey beard. 

 After a few days of getting ready his father said his last goodbyes before leaving for England on a big ship.

 Years had passed since Pierre's father had left and Pierre had grown up. Then, one day Pierre decided that he would go searching for his father in England.

 Soon, Pierre had raised enough money to be able to pay for his fare for the ship. "Mother I have raised enough to go to England in search of father." Pierre told his mother. His mother was very sad at first but she knew that Pierre missed his father so much.

In a few days Pierre was ready to go. "Goodbye mother" Pierre said sadly. "Don't worry about me I will be fine and I will be back before you know it." "Goodbye!" Pierre's mother shouted before heading home.

 Within a few weeks Pierre arrived in England, after a year of searching Pierre found his father. his father looked so different to what Pierre could remember from years ago.

 Pierre and his father decided to go back to Pierre's mother and their home in France. Pierre's mother was so happy to see her husband again and her son that she didn't know what to say when she saw them again.
