Revised Paragraph
It was a hot sunny day at the farm where Old Man Jenkins grew his apple orchard. But today would be different then most because today Old Man Jenkins neighbor Steve Hubs was hungry but couldn’t afford any food since he got fired from McDonalds. Steve hoped over the fence to the orchard while Mr. Jenkins was having supper. He then slowly snuck his way to the greatest apple tree in the orchard, because that’s where the best apples grew. Steve then took one of the most luscious apples he could find and bit into it. After all the time Steve took to find the tree and eat the apple, Old Man Jenkins had already finished eating his supper and came outside to pick some apples so his wife could make her delicious apple pie. Mr. Jenkins went straight to the great tree to get the most magnificent apples for the pie. When he got there he found Steve lying under the tree eating his apples. Old man Jenkins freaked out and yelled at Steve as he chased him around the farm. Steve tripped on a fallen apple and face planted into a tree. Jenkins started to scream at Steve until he saw the sad look in his eyes and felt bad for him so he told him he could’ve just asked him to have some apples and that he didn’t need to just come and steal them. Steve understood and promised not to sneak into his back yard ever again and left.

There are a ton of banned words is this piece - revise any place you have used 'great', 'best', 'hot', 'sunny', 'get', 'freaked out'. All of these detract from meaning. Try again!
