Walking In The Woods

My friends and I were walking in the woods on an island with Floppy, my pet rabbit. We had to get home so we ran. But we heard a crunch from our feet! We saw a great tree! This is where we live in a tree house. We had not seen our house in days. But now it was night and the moon was like gold in the sky. then I heard some ghost screeching in the moonlight of the dark, dark night. Before us was the great tree that looked like silver velvet. Then we heard another ghost, but this ghost was howling. Soon the woods would be very foggy and misty. The great tree had gnarled twigs. Then a dark shadow loomed over us. We did not know what to do, so we went into the house.

My friends Maya and Meshi were very afraid. The floorboards were almost broken. A creaky staircase went up and up and up. I told my friends to follow me up the creaky, old staircase. We saw a very old door and went inside the room. This is where the trouble began. We saw a witch coming near us, then saw a monster! The monster suddenly disappeared. I thought the monster was a mummy! The witch came closer to us and we tried to get out, but we got lost in the maze of rooms! I looked at Floppy and asked: “Do you have a magic crystal ball?” Floppy said: “Yes,” by jumping up and down two times. My friends Maya and Meshi said at the same time “Let’s go home!”

Then the witch suddenly turned the house into a giant monster. My pet rabbit, Floppy, quickly jumped on the mean witch 100 times. As quickly as Floppy jumped, the witch died saying, “I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I do, do, do!” Then I guided my friends and I out of the house. The monster house turned back into a spooky house. We quickly ran away from the spooky house and ran as fast as we could to home. Then we had supper at home. We told my parents what happened. I said “Goodbye” to my friends and they went home to go to bed in their houses. Then I went to bed safe and sound.
