Finish the story!

Hey Boys and Girls!

I’m stuck! I’ve started another Evangeline Mudd story, but I don’t know how to finish it. Will you help me out? If you do, why not try using a couple of similes (sim-uh-lees)?

• India Terpsichore had been a famous ballerina and had traveled the world whirling like a dust devil and leaping like a hyena.
• Ballet dancers whizzed back and forth, flitting from to room like butterflies in a hurricane.

Good luck finishing the story. And thanks for the help. Oh, one other thing. You’ll have to finish the title, too.

Sincerely, DE
