Challenge 7/17 - Willow Grade 4

One morning early I was looking out my window and I saw birds by the thousands, by the millions and suddenly I wished out loud that I could fly with them.

Suddenly a magical creature appeared out of nowhere to grant my wish, and before I could gasp, I was a bird! 

“ Come find me by your big tree” shouted the creature. Then I heard a soft creaking noise,  

but as the door slammed, I knew, my sister had heard, and told my parents everything!

Lots of people have one, everyone wants one but sadly some people don't.

You get large ones and small ones, rich ones and poor ones. Animals also have one.

Mine is crazy and sometimes funny and can it can be very annoying at times but I would not trade it for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Mine can go through a lot of food within a week. I can not eat it but  I love to play and have fun with it. Every single one is different and unique - can you guess what it is?

My name is Lonnie, I love laughing! Unlike my brother though, he's sooo boring.

He doesn't even laugh when I tell him my best jokes! ( here's one: Why do candles go on top of a birthday cake? Because they can't go at the bottom! Ha Ha!)  I often take my pet fish for a swim or as humans say “for a walk”,  but, today was different. Fishy and I were swimming when we hit an ice-berg! I burst out laughing, silly me for not looking where I was going!

Something's Coming!

It was a lovely peaceful day as the waves gently sprayed my face, “ lovely day for a sail, isn't it” said my cousin as he put up the sail on our tiny wooden boat. I put my hand in the pure blue water  “ I totally agree” I answered as I splashed him.

“ This is the life” but the weather changed dramatically, shocked my cousin looked into the sky. 

“SOMETHINGS  COMING”  the sky turned dark and thunder crashed, that something was still coming….

Ahhh!

The stone boy

One day while walking to town, a hungry boy smelled fast food and followed his nose to the smell. He entered the fast food shop and ordered a burger, then took the burger without paying and ran home. On his way home he felt his steps getting heavier, until  he could not move ; his feet had turned into stone! Ever so slowly, the stone consumed him. 

Looking down at his hands holding the burger, the burger whispered: “ don't steal “ 

the boy promised not to steal again, returned to normal and ate the yummy burger in delight.

The Sneeze

I was on my way to see the orange crocodile with my friend, Alex. We reached an interesting looking bench and Alex nearly sat down, but I grabbed his hand and whispered "it's a crocodile sleeping, DO NOT WAKE HIM". "I think I'm gonna sneeze, ACHOO!". Oh no! The crocodile woke up and started chasing us through the valley. All of a sudden while crossing a wide bridge the ground fell from beneath us, the bridge collapsed and within seconds we were in the water!

The  mosquito repellent slime

I hate mosquitoes! I hate how they bite me. I even saved my money to buy a mosquito net. One day my brother Jinks found some nice smelling mosquito repellent slime. "What do you do with it?" I asked, "it says here you should rub it on your mosquito net" he answered. I grabbed the slime from my brother and raced to my room "you owe me 5 bucks" he yelled "later" I called.
I started rubbing it on my net as soon as I got to my room, though I couldn't really rub it in properly.
That night when I went to bed I was so tired from rubbing I fell asleep quickly, but, little did I know that my net was having trouble holding the slime, even less, did I know that at about midnight the slime dripped through!
When I woke up I was covered in slime.
