I thought Peter was appointed fiction editor , but he has never written any fiction since the paper started . That 's not MY idea of a fiction editor . He ought to make up stories out of his own head . '' PETER , SPUNKILY : `` I can do it , too , and I will next time . And it ai n't easier to write true stories . It 's harder , 'cause you have to stick to facts . '' FELICITY : `` I do n't believe you could make up a story . '' PETER : `` I 'll show you ! '' -RRB- MY MOST EXCITING ADVENTURE It 's my turn to write it but I 'm SO NERVOUS . My worst adventure happened TWO YEARS AGO . It was an awful one . I had a striped ribbon , striped brown and yellow and I LOST IT . I was very sorry for it was a handsome ribbon and all the girls in school were jealous of it . -LRB- FELICITY : `` I was n't . I did n't think it one bit pretty . '' CECILY : `` Hush ! '' -RRB- I hunted everywhere but I could n't find it . Next day was Sunday and I was running into the house by the front door and I saw SOMETHING LYING ON THE STEP and I thought it was my ribbon and I made a grab at it as I passed . But , oh , it was A SNAKE ! Oh , I can never describe how I felt when I felt that awful thing WRIGGLING IN MY HAND .
I let it go and SCREAMED AND SCREAMED , and ma was cross at me for yelling on XXXXX and made me read seven chapters in the Bible but I did n't mind that much after what I had come through .
