Grade 2 - 3 H

On Sunday I felt like going for a walk outside so I went to the local park. It was beautiful there. The birds were singing and the crickets were chirping. The path meandered gently along a stream. The water in the stream was bubbling over some rocks it looked clear and calm. The Sun was even shining high in the sky the clouds were thin and wispy floating overhead. Everything was lovely. Oh what a beautiful day. Up ahead along the path I saw a little wooden bridge going over the stream. The bridge seemed very old and rickety. I wondered if it would be strong enough for me to go across. Slowly, cautiously I stepped onto the rickety wooden bridge step by slow step I tip toed across. Every now and then I had to stop and catch my breathe as the bridge began to squeak and sway. Finally I reached the other side. Everything seemed different here nothing was the same. It was like I’d travelled to another land. Not far from the bridge there was an enormous tree and there going through a door at the bottom of the tree was a creature unlike any I’d seen before. Where was he headed I was curious I just had to find out. I got down on my hands and knees and peered through the doorway. Next thing I knew I was being pulled down, down, down.An ugly looking octopus was standing before me holding a spear. “What’s the password?” he demanded.I didn’t know what he was talking about and I looked around to see if I could find a clue to what the password could possibly be. As I looked around I saw some amazing sights. This wondrous land was made up of a variety of what looked like sea creatures but they had adapted to living on land. Fish were walking around on their tails, the octopus guard was standing on four of his limbs while the other four were acting as arms, one was holding his sword, another was placing a hat on his head, another was pointing at me and the last one was picking his nose. UGHHHH! Then I thought the password was it “Under the Sea” “You may enter” said the guard. So I wandered around. Everything was different. The trees were upside down with their roots waving in the breeze instead of their leaves. The houses looked like huge tree trunks with doorways and windows cut into them. Even the stream that I had been walking beside was now a purplish-green in colour. I didn’t know what I would encounter next. There was something different everywhere I looked. TO be continued………..

I was walking on the bridge and I saw an orange alien and it went somewhere and I followed it. It was taking me to a golden gate with a password. I saw a king and a queen. I had to race a rocket with boosters. I was having a good day and I had to win. I have never been here and I saw a monster and it was very, very large. There were bad people and they were going to fight me and I had to fight them. I had to use a spell. I killed them. Sam and Trent came and Trent killed himself. Sam yelled and he ran and I didn’t care. I had a walkie-talkie and I called the drop-ship. I got on it and I went to school.

I was walking around a river suddenly I saw a bridge. But then suddenly I saw a troll so I ran as fast as I could. Suddenly I saw a castle. Then I went there but I saw a gate and two guards. The password was dog. So they let me pass. Suddenly I saw a princess and a king. I said “Hi”. We made friends and I lived with them and became their daughter. We became a good family and lived happily ever after.

I was walking around in the river and I saw a bridge. I went to the other side of the bridge. When I looked up at the sky I saw two fishes upside down. When I got to the other side I saw a crocodile. The crocodile was angry because he was hungry but he didn’t have any food in the river.
