Four Little Tarantulas

Four Little Tarantulas - by CoolDude (7yr)

Once upon a time there were 4 little tarantulas who lived under a big, heavy rock.
The daddy's name was Harry, and he liked to go on long hikes with his son Peter. The mother enjoyed taking their daughter,Cindy, to sing at the top of hill. They all loved each other very much.

On a sunny day, they decided to go on a hike to the Botanical Gardens. They packed sunscreen, caps, water and bugs to eat.
When they arrived at the fountain, they went swimming in the cold, clear water. Suddenly Peter slipped off a rock and fell into the pond! He could not swim and he started to sink. Harry jumped in fast to save him. He dived under the water and dragged Peter out of the pond.
Peter was very happy to be saved.

Harry told Peter to be more careful next time. They all sat down and ate their bugs!

A Trunk in the Attic.

A Trunk in the Attic - by WizzKid (10 yr)

Once there was a small boy called Kimmie. He was a typical six year old. He went to school and had some friends. But he knew something no one else knew. He knew that up in the library's attic there was a trunk! A MAGIC trunk.
You could wish for something then lift the top of the trunk off and 'Hey Presto' there it was!

This is how it all began.......................
Kimmie was in the library, sellecting books, when something extra ordinary happened. He went into the library's attic to see if there were anymore books. Instead he found a large trunk. He opened it but there was nothing inside. He sighed and closed it saying 'I wish there were some more books'. Suddenly.... Kimmie heard an audible 'THUMP'.
He looked around realising it had come from the trunk and there were a whole lot of books he'd been longing for. He was amazed!
He thought 'maybe I can wish for anything'. So he wished for something else and there it was! He was dumbfounded.
He went home and told his parents about the trunk. They did not believe one word!

The next day walking to the library,five older boys pursued him. When he got to the library's attic he wished - 'I wish I had ROCKET BOOTS'. He quickly opened the trunk and there they were. He slipped them on.
They were perfect but, he did not know how to use them.The older boys were almost in the attic.
At the last second, Kimmie clicked his heels together and this activated the boots. He ZOOMED out of the window and got home safely.
Now his parents believed him, when he arrived home in rocket boots!

A Candle.

A Candle – by CoolDude(7 yrs)

“Hello, I am Danny and I am here to talk to you. Have you seen a candle before
Sarah?” asked Danny. “No, because I am blind!” answered Sarah.
“What’s it like being blind?” asked Danny. “It’s boring, because I cannot see ANYTHING,” replied Sarah.
“Well, this is what a candle is like,” said Danny.
“A candle can be blue, white or any type of colour. It is long or short, it is round or square, and at the top of the candle is a piece of string that you light with a match.”
Sarah asked, “What is a candle used for?”
“It is used when it is dark, it brightens up the place with light,” answered Danny.

“I can imagine it in my mind what it looks like. It sounds beautiful!” ended Sarah.

Black Wonder.

Black Wonder - By WizzKid (10 years)

It was a wonderful sunny day in my village. Down by the river peach trees were at last blossoming. The fields looked beautiful. I wanted to dance and sing as Spring was finally here!
The river was flowing again and there was lovely grass for the sheep to eat. I was excited because I was getting my horse today. I would ride him everywhere. Down to the river, over the fields and through the canyons.


I went back to my hut. The hut was big and smelled of freshly baked bread. I reminded Dad about my horse. He told me we would go and get it in an hour.
A whole lot of people had come to our village to sell horses and we were getting it from them.
Outside, some one knocked on the door. It was my friend Bright Sun, who I had known all my life. We both went out and played with the sheep. We decided we would go to the city of Bryto. Bright Sun’s Dad was also buying him a horse today.


When I got my horse it was better than I imagined. He was a black stallion The first thing I did was take him to the city. There, everyone stared at my stallion.
All of a sudden some people started chasing me with guns, but my stallion was too quick for them! The moment my horse saw the gun he turned and bolted with me on his back.
We left the men with the guns way behind us and returned safely to the village. I named my horse Black WONDER for saving my life!
