Spelling Bee!

I went to my spelling bee on Saturday. There were four levels, and I was in the third level. I was with four more competitors, so there was a total of five competitors in the level. They had a jar, in which there were folded-up slips of paper, with spellings on them. You had to pick one, give it to the conductor, she was going to tell you the word, and you had to spell it. I got v-e-h-i-c-l-e, g-r-a-c-i-o-u-s, and about ten others. I spelled them all correctly. Finally they were making announcements about who won from each level. I couldn't believe my ears when my name came up, I was so astonished. I won a headband, and a beautifully carved candle. This is one spelling bee that I'm never going  to forget.
