Once there was a gulper eel that made friens
He met a pram bug
He made friens with it
H liked him
He askt foer a play daet.
He playd.
Goodbyy sied his friend.
Goodbyy he sied.

He asked for help on how to spell "once," and I reminded him about periods (which he did here and there, but not always, as you can see).

It's a clear narrative, but not exactly, uh, complex.

Yes, but the denouement is quite poignant, so he gets points for that.
