Using the short sentence below as a starting point, turn the sentence into a fifteen$-$word or more sentence by modifying different parts of the original sentence. Feel free to use commas to help with including information. Also, feel free to be creative with the sentence. It can take on fantastical or supernatural elements if you like.

Sentence: Alexis kicked the ball.

To turn this into a fifteen$-$word sentence, describe in more detail one or all of the following:

"Alexis" $-$ Describe Alexis.

"kicked"$-$ Say how she kicked the ball.

"ball" $-$ Tell us more about the ball.

Example: Alexis, an underused soccer player, surprisingly kicked the ball past the goalie to victory for the home team.

Turn the three$-$word sentence below into a thirty$-$word or more sentence. Feel free to use commas to add information when necessary. Do NOT simply write a run$-$on sentence filled with numerous "and"$\text{'}$s$,$ though "and"$\text{'}$s used judiciously are okay. The task is to keep the starting sentence below as the primary idea in the new sentence and to add other information that tells us more about the words in the original sentence.

Three$-$word sentence: Aquibi collected recipes.

Example: Aquibi, a retired decorated Navy officer who always wondered if he could have made a career as a chef, perhaps even have started his own restaurant specializing in Cajun food, collected authentic recipes from all over the globe.
