Friends

The life at the circus, a bright entertainment place, lay a girl, a miserable one. She had no place, no family

or name. But one nice friend named L.E. This L.E wasn’t a human. L.E was creature. A creature with a lot of

memory to remember her friend. This is where the story began.

L.E sprayed water everywhere, and started to practise balancing on one box. The girl didn’t know what the

box was. The girl started placing them, block by block. The tall boxes ended up being a tall tower. The tall tower

started to crumble, and then tumbled over the girl. L.E rushed as quickly as her legs could carry her. When she

reached the ruined tower, L.E tossed over box by box, but couldn’t find the girl. L.E was frightened.

Then, in the corner of her eye, L.E saw a hand. L.E tossed the box over and there was the girl. The one that

had no place, no family or name. The miserable one. L.E’s long nose tickled the girl. The tickle feeling didn’t

seem to work. L.E’s eyes started to water. It looked like a water fall falling onto the land. As fast as lightning, L.E

saw something. (A box was knocked over.)

Return To Nature Through Beer Cans

The bright yellow sun was hot, and the fresh blue water was cold. It was a hot summer afternoon down at

the beach. The waves came up onto the beach and washed up all the shells. I was in the middle of the summer

holiday. I went down to Queensland with my family. We were staying in a beautiful hut by the beach. My parents

were inside having a cup of tea, my older brother was visiting some of his old friends, and my dog had gone for

a walk.

I was building sand castles and decorating them with beautiful white pearly shells. Suddenly a beer can washed

up onto the shore. This beer can had bits of coral grown on it. I had never seen anything like it. I picked it up. I

started taking it to my parents. The coral suddenly turned into a beautiful purple rock with a heart carved in it.

Then just as I was about to open the front door, the rock turned back into coral.

I ran into my bedroom. I spent one hour trying to find out how to change it to a rock and back again. A whole

night went by. In the morning I was thinking about the purple rock when the coral changed into its rock form.

Later on I realized that it changed form depending on what object I was thinking about.

Thales Touch

The sky was clear and beautiful; the clouds performed and made shapes that were seen from the ground. The

trees swayed, following the direction of the wind which was whistling throughout the grass making it looked

bent but still alive. The sun shone out like a yellow diamond leaving everything in its sight glistening, this sight

was truly something to behold, but there, standing in the middle of this beautiful view was a shop. And that’s

where our story begins.

Lavender was a sweet girl that was loved by everyone, everywhere. She had eyes that were hazel brown, hair

as dark as midnight and skin as white as snow. She was also kind.

One sunny day, Lavender went out for a walk. As she walked, she smiled at herself, for the view around her was

magnificent. “Nature is a wonderful present!” she announced. She kept walking and gawking around her, as she

walked the lane started to go narrower and narrower. At last, the lane stopped and there before her was the

shop!

Lavender got nearer and nearer and before she knew it, she was standing in front of the door. Lavender was

also a curious girl so she quietly opened the door. Inside was pitch black but there was a small distant light that

stood in the middle of the shop.

Lavender got more curious so she drew closer and closer. The light was shining on a piece of picture; Lavender

looked more closely and gasped! The picture was of used, collected bottles from Mangrove and paper ‘flow’.

Lavender was so entranced by this beautiful picture that she didn’t notice everything around her. The name

read ‘Thales Touch’.

After a few hours, Lavender looked at her watch and gasped, because it was already midnight! Lavender fled

home and kept coming back every day to stare at the picture and create amazing stories and images in her

mind.

The Crisis

Screams came from all corners of the country people ran in all directions, doing anything to get away from the

horror.

In the small town of Texas there was a boy who was doing his homework. His name was Andrew; he was a

smart kid who very soon was destined to put an end to 50 years of needless stealing. One day as he was

writing an essay, a letter appeared on his desk by magic. Very slowly he opened the envelope and read . . .

Half an hour later, he was on board a plane that was headed to New York, the city of crisis. The letter had

said to go to New York and meet an old friend on an empty lane at midnight, who would give him the full

cheese on his mission. Of course, Andrew was spellbound at the thought of participating in a real-life deathdefying

action sequence. Precisely at midnight the old friend met him on an empty lane, his name was Beck but

everyone called him B. “Hello Andrew,” said B “we’ve been waiting for you”. “Oh, umm, hi B,” replied Andrew

nervously. “No need to be afraid Andrew, I’m just here to explain a few things to you about the crisis,” said B

airily.”I do know what the crisis is, it happens every year,” said Andrew. B nodded signaling him to explain.”Well,

it’s when the leader of the goes into dept and has to borrow money from other states or cities,” explained

Andrew. “You are absolutely correct, but you failed to mention one important detail,” said B. “I have, what is

it?”asked Andrew. “Well then, allow me to fill you in,” replied B mysteriously.

Ten minutes later. Andrew was sneaking up behind a tree that had names carved into it. Those names were the

wealthy people who owed the leader money. Just at that exact moment it all happened. Andrew pulled out a

gun and shot a masked figure until he was dead. After that he knelt down beside the tree and sawed it off until

it was just a stump. All the screams stopped and the city was saved.
