The Story of Rosie Revere Engineer Rosie Revere is a shy second grader in Miss Lila Greer’s classroom at Blue River Creek She dreams of becoming a great engineer but she never lets anyone know about her dreams When Rosie was young she made amazing inventions for her uncles and aunts Everyone loved her inventions Nobody loved them more than her uncle Zookeeper Fred Rosie invented a special hat for keeping snakes off his head She used parts of a fan and some cheddar-cheese spray which everyone knows keeps pythons away Uncle Fred loved it so much that he couldn’t contain his joy He burst out laughing He laughed so hard that he slapped his knee and his eyes filled with tears 2
But Rosie misunderstood She thought that he was laughing at her and it broke her heart Perhaps she couldn’t become an engineer after all From that day Rosie kept her inventions and her dreams to herself When Rosie was in second grade her great-great aunt came for a visit Her name was Rose Great Great-Aunt Rose told Rosie about all the amazing things she had done in her life She had had many thrills and had even built enormous airplanes to help her country Great-Great-Aunt Rose had done lots of exciting things but there was one thing left on her list of adventures She wanted to fly But now that she was old she didn’t think she would ever get the chance That night Rosie tried to sleep but she couldn’t She kept thinking about Great-Great-Aunt Rose Rosie wondered if she could create a gizmo to help her aunt fly But when she thought about Uncle Fred’s cheese hat she felt sad No she thought I can’t help 3
