My Adventure under Sea

I was at the beach. We were happily playing, making sandcastles. Suddenly, a big wave swept me underwater. I tried to hold my breath but failed. Then I realized that I could breathe! I became very happy and started swimming upwards. I tried to get back to the shore but I couldn’t. It was some sort of door that didn’t allow me to go up. I started to cry.

Then I heard somebody shouting” Can’t anybody get some sleep around here? All I can here is somebody crying outside my door .Hmph!”  Then he slammed the door.

I went to the door and said” Please can you open the door? It is very cold out here.”The door flew open again and out came a water pixie! I had never seen one so I stared at him for a second, quite forgetting my manners. He glared at me and said” Well! I have never seen such a rude girl!”

“Oh no!’’, I wailed. I have never seen a water pixie and I have wanted to. So that is why I stared at you. I am really not a rude girl. By the way what’s your name?

‘’Flounder”, answered the pixie.

“Your house is a water toadstool”, I said, looking up.

Flounder said” Yes, it is a very useful one. All the other houses were taken by the other pixies and only this one was left. So I took it. It is wonderful in these cold days.”

“Please can I stay with you? I will never get back home and I want some shelter for a few days.”

“Of course.”

I lived happily with Flounder for a few days then he turned me out. I started to wail and begged for some more days. Flounder asked,”But don’t you have a home?

Still wailing ,I told him my story, how I had come to the sea.

Flounder listened and said” Hmmm! I think I know why you can’t go back.”

“Why?’’,I asked him wiping my tears.

“Come in and I will tell you.”

I went in and Flounder began his story……..

“Some time ago, there was a witch in this sea. Now the witch was a lazybones   and badly wanted a servant .But none of the pixies or fishes would agree,  because  the witch was very hard on people. So the witch thought humans would be better than pixies or fishes. So she put a magic door that would allow any human to get in, but that human could not get out! This became a problem for divers and none of them were spotted under the sea. Then suddenly the witch died of a sudden illness. But her magical door didn’t lose its power. So I think we should go to the witch’s home, and break the spell. Then the magical door will lose its power and you can go back home!

“Oooooh  ! But are you sure?”

‘’Yes . I have a map so that we cannot possibly lose our way.”

Flounder took a back pack and put the things he needed inside it. He then said” Look, we go east from this side and then west. If we follow the directions,we won’t lose our way.”

So we followed the directions and then Flounder groaned.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look, this way is blocked! It is only for sea cars. We cannot go by this way. We will not reach the witch’s house.”

I started to think hard. Then I gave a squeal and said” You can rent a sea car Flounder, you can rent one!”

“That is a wonderful idea! The renting area is just near. We will go there.

We rented a nice sea car, with beautiful red and yellow spots . We got into it and rode  away to the west according to the directions. We rode to many places, till we reached the witch’s home.

We got in and  I was so fascinated by the different spells,potions etc and . I stopped to look at them and Flounder said ‘ Do not waste time.’’

We looked everywhere  but we could not find the special potion. At last I got it and we tried to break the spells but monsters came from every side and I said

“Flounder! They are squeezing me!

“ Try to manage!

“They are breaking my bones ! Ooooooh!

Then I suddenly woke up , realizing it was all a dream.

Emily and the little girl

One day ,Emily was invited to a garden party. Her mother said that she could go. Emily dressed in a frilly frock and dressed Frisky in a good suit too.

So, after having a wonderful time at the garden party , Emily waved goodbye to her friends and set off.

She went through the woods.It was a bit scary as it was night.But Emily had a torch and she was a brave girl.

Then she heard yells.The yells became louder.Emily decided to investigate.She followed the yells and saw a man beating a poor girl mercilessly.Frisky got got frightened. Emily comforted Frisky and moved closer. When the man went, she walked over to the girl ,who was now crying bitterly.

''What is your name?'',she asked the girl.

''Jessie'',said the girl,still crying.

Emily gave Jessie a hanky and told her to stop crying.

''Now tell me your story'',she said.

''Promise not to tell the police?''

''If it is the necessity I will''.

''My mother is dead,so I live with my father.My father has a friend called Mr. Tizer.He asked him  to live with us when my mother died.Ever since he came,it has been a total disaster.

''Why?''


''See,my father goes for work. Mr.  Tizer is a lazybones and is very fat. The sofa in our house broke because of him. He put the blame on me.I got a scolding.Today I set the table for supper. Mr Tizer sat on his chair and it broke. He got very angry and pulled me out by dragging my ear. He told me that I had loosened the nails,or this would have never happened. So he started beating me.''

Emily was touched by her story.She took Jessie home.Her mother bathed her and gave her one spare dress.She then gave her a bed to sleep on.

The next day, Jessie woke up and had a bath. She then was introduced to Emily's friends and had a fun day playing with them.

Three months passed like this.They were months of perfect happiness for Jessie.

But soon Mr Tizer found out where she was. Jessie became scared  and said she could no longer live with Emily any more. Emily becae wild at  the idea and took a backpack ,Frisky's tiny backpack ,Frisky and told Jessie that she was coming with her,no matter where she went. Jessie was very thankful and the two of them went to the woods. They rested under a shady tree for the night and some noise woke them up.

It was Mr Tizer and Jessie's father!

''What are they doing here?''

''They are drug dealing". , said Jessie solemnly.

''What!!!!!"

''Yes, they are drug dealing.''

Suddenly Mr Tizer looked back and Jesiie shouted ''Run!''! and the 2 of them ran for their life but Mr Tizer saw them but Emily knocked down Mr Tizer and Jessie knocked down her father.Just then Emily's parents came and took Emily and Jessie home and Emily's father took the drug dealers to the prison.

Jessie stayed with Emily and that was the end.
