Once upon a time there was a little boy named Travis who loved to do magic tricks. He loved magic tricks so much, his friends nicknamed him Tricky Travis. Tricky Travis was so good at his magic tricks, he could make fussy babies stop crying, sad parents happy, and talking students quiet.

One Monday morning when Travis went to school, he heard on the morning announcements that his school would be holding it's first ever talent show. ATTENTION, ATTENTION, Principal Jones shouted across the intercom; Kingsway Elementary will be holding it's first annual " I've got Talent", talent show. Come to the main office to sign up.

Immediately Travis thought to himself, I have to sign up, I have to sign up! I can perform my famous flowers out of an open hat trick! Everyone will love me. I will make Principal Jones, and Mrs. Walker so proud. Tricky Travis could barely complete his class work because he was just that excited. As soon as the noon bell rang for lunch, Travis dashed out of Mrs. Walker's fourth grade class to the main office. Principal Jones, Principal Jones, Travis shouted, where do I sign up, where do I sign up? …show more content…
"Hello Travis, how are you?" Principal Jones asked in his loud as thunder voice. I'm great Principal Jones, where do I sign up for the first annual talent show? When is it? Where is it? Wow, Travis you are really excited Principal Jones said as he handed Travis an old wooden clipboard. The talent show is in three days. Sign your name right here, and you just made it, you'll be our closing act. Travis signed his name on the last line, and went to lunch.

Finally Friday was here, the big day! Travis had practiced for 3 days straight. He wanted to make his classmates happy, and Principal Jones and Mrs. Walker proud, not to mention make Lindsey proud. Lindsey was only the smartest, sweetest, cutest 4th grader at Kingsway Elementary.

The talent show started at the beginning of fourth period, the last class of the school day. "It's about that time," flooded the school's intercom system. It is now time for Kingsway's 1st annual "I've got talent", talent show. We will have preK entering the auditorium first, and end with our mighty 5th graders entering the auditorium last. All participants in the talent show please report to the auditorium immediately.

All of the children participating in the talent show ran to the auditorium in excitement. Soon everyone from students to staff, and even parents were quietly seated in the auditorium. Even the preK students were quiet in anticipation of the talent show. All of the bright lights quickly dimmed to a single light that shined as if it were a ray of sunlight. Mrs. Walker walked out onto the stage and in a very loud and happy voice announced, " Students, parents, teachers, and staff, welcome to Kingsway Elementary's first annual, I've got talent, talent show, enjoy and have a blast!"

Lindsey introduced the first performer. When Tricky Travis heard Lindsey's voice, he instantly became nervous. "OMG, that's Lindsey," he thought to himself. I can't mess up, I just can't! There were students singing, dancing, telling jokes, and even jumping rope, and they were all great! With each applause of every act, Tricky Travis became even more nervous.

Lindsey walked back on stage and announced , " And for our closing act, everyone please welcome, my friend, Tricky Travissss!" The audience stood up and clapped as the curtains opened.
Travis stood on stage with that ray of sunlight beaming down on him, frozen. He was scared. This big audience was nothing like the crowd of friends that watched him perform at recess, nor like his family members that he would perform for at home. Travis ran off the stage in freight. He ran right into Lindsey. "Travis what's wrong?" , Lindsey asked. " I can't do this, I just can't!". " Travis, remember what Mrs. Walker always says there isn't I can't, only I can, or I can ask for help, and I'll help you" Lindsey said. Travis took a deep breath, " ok, Lindsey" he
replied.

Lindsey ran back on stage and said, "Presenting Tricky Travis, and his assistant, me, Lovely Lindseeeee.". The crowd stood up and clapped again. Even though Travis had practiced all week alone, he was happy to have his new assistant, Lindsey to help him perform. Travis gave Lindsey his tall black top hat, that was open at both ends and announced to the audience. " watch as Lovely Lindsey put her hand straight through this hat.". " I will pull flowers out of this empty hat.". Tricky Travis pulled a bouquet of roses from out of the empty, tall, black hat, and handed it to Lindsey, and whispered thank you.
The entire audience clapped and cheered for Travis . Tricky Travis performed three more magic tricks with the help of his friend and now, new assistant, Lovely Lindsey.

Everyone gave Tricky Travis a standing ovation at the end of his performance. Lindsey leaned towards Travis and whispered, " You were awesome!". Principal Jones ran on stage and gave him a gift bag filled with goodies, along with a trophy that read, Kingsway Elementary's I've got talent 1st place winner. Mrs. Walker ran on stage and gave him a big hug and said, "Travis , we are really proud of you!". He told his three favorite people at Kingsway Elementary thank you, I just wanted to make you all happy, then Travis ran off stage into the crowd to his dad, hugged him and shouted, " This is the best day ever!"
