Sofia V Not Just an ordinary day.
In a small, compact Town in the Country lived three young, adventurous boys, Ted, Tim, and Tom. Tim was the oldest and Ted was the youngest.They lived in a small, ancient cottage that was nearly falling to pieces. They lived with their Father who chopped wood for the family in the woods nearby and their hard working Mother who stayed at home to look after them.
One Day as normal the boys woke up at dawn to the sound of roosters. Cock-a-doodle-do. They sleepily and clumsily walked downstairs, to find their dad going off to work in the woods. Their mother commanded the boys to go down to the nearby pond and wash off while she would go to the market and get bread and butter for breakfast. “ We don’t want to,” they cried out.
“ No breakfast then” replied the Mother. They did what they were told.
“Come on I’ll race you to the pond,” said Tim.
Tom caught up with Tim. ‘’You two got a head start!” screeched Ted. The clear blue water was cold and refreshing. They started playing a nice game of water tag. All of a sudden a massive, scary taniwha jumped out at them. The taniwha was a rainbow colour, with sharp yellow scales all over. It had razor sharp teeth as white as a ghost. They were so frightened that they rushed around, like chickens without heads. They didn’t know what to do, they couldn't stop screaming.
The high pitched scream was so loud that their Father heard them from in the woods. He listened for a minute, not really taking it in, then he realized it was his children screaming. He was now running as fast as he could. He saw what was going on and used the sharp, silver axe that he had been cutting wood with to scare the taniwha out of the pond, onto the brown dried up grass, passed the newly built bridge and into an ancient rotten broken barn. BAM, They slammed the door shut and locked it tight. From that day the Taniwha was never seen again. They all lived happily ever after.
