Elise's 100 word challenge

Once, on Christmas there was a lovely girl called Frances. She was very lucky. When she had her ninth birthday her Mum gave her an electric scooter but when she put the batteries in nothing happened...then, BOOM the scooter blew up! Poor Frances, she could not keep the tears from her eyes. Her Mum bought her a new one but when she put the batteries in...it worked perfectly fine. No funny things happened at all. No blowing up or turning on by itself and moving about. Nothing like that at all. "Wow, I like this scooter," said Frances.
