It was a delightful morning the birds were singing and the grass was damp as if it had been raining. Suddenly CRASH!!! a car came flying through the side of a meeting room in Greytown. In that meeting room there were some of the most important people in the world. These people were lachie preston a very successful business man and if it wasn’t for his quick thinking the NZ dollar would be insanely bad. On the other hand Caleb, a very rich explorer that found the missing kingdom and has nearly died three times in the last month trying to retrieve. Fortunately none of the guys were engird. Weeeeeeee ooo weeeeeeee ooo went the police car trying to find the guy who crash in to the meeting place. He had backed his car out and drove off in to the red sun. The business man and the explorer went home for the night to get a good night sleep for the interview tomorrow. As caleb went home in his car he stopped at a red light he got kid napped be a mysterious masked man. Before long the kin napper had taken caleb to a very dark place, tied him to a chair and put a blind fold over his head.

The next day.

Lachie had showed up to the interview but there was no sight of caleb. After about an hour Lachie dissuaded to call Caleb and tell him to get down to the interview, but he didn’t answer his phone. “Something weird is going on” said Lachie wondering were he was. Finally the kid napper took the blind fold off caleb’s head. They were in the desert, the kid napper probably wanted to find the missing kingdom with so many diamonds that if you sold them you would be a billionaire. suddenly a swarm of locusts attacked our army car that he stole from the army. The locusts wiped out the hole truck. Before i had time to look at the person who had kid napped me, paddy jumped up off his horse on to the truck. Struggling to dodge the kid nappers punches, pushed the kid napper off the side of the army truck. “Hurray!!!!!” said Caleb. “The missing kingdoms jewels are safe and no one will ever find the kingdom”he shouted with glory. All is well and good, Caleb and Lachie had there interview and is was published on to the front page.

“The end” said Chester but Tristan was already asleep. Chester quietly tip toed out of Tristan’s room. The End.

The Army

It was a dark dawn. The sun had just come up. Whoosh went a plane just taking off into the air. It was rush hour in New York. Everyone was trying to get to work at 7:30 in the morning. The president was fast asleep. When he woke up he looked outside his house because there was a lot of noise. There was 100 guys trying to kill the president with G18s and grenades. they were coming in by the bus load. Lucky they could evacuate the president to a safe place which is classified. The army was looking for a place to hide the president where the bombers would never find him. Whhooossshh went the plane. “Where are we”, said the president. Tristan (the captain of the army) replied “ You’re in the desert”. “What”, says the president. Tristan explains to the president why he is in the desert “ your in the desert so none of the bombers can find you.At the air port the assassins have just pulled up to the parking lot and r planing to steal a plane and fly it to the desert to find the president. So they stroll in to the air port like the rest of the people. What gave them away was that they went up to the counter and put a gun up to the accouters head and said “KNOW ONE MOVE!!” Unfortunately the swat team had there eye on the because they looked like the people who ambushed the president. Slug went the sniper bullet shot by Chester the sniper guy strait in to one of the 5 guys hearts. Didididi down goes another assassin. The rest of the assassins fled the air port just catching a plane that is going to the desert. 5 hours later the assassins took over the plane and threw the pilot out the door of the plane at 6000 feet in the air. Back at the air port the security called up the air force and they had them take out one of the planes that they had to go and take out the assassins in the plane so they went up with a turret and a rocket that could blow up the city. Back at the desert, Tristan and the president were sitting up camp when out of no where a blown up plane falls from the sky and close behind it were the 3 assassins with a parachute and a desert eagle each. By the time they got to the ground they had already made a few shots and Tristan and the President were ready 4 them. They had flipped over a table and had there machine shotgun loaded and ready to fire. Boom the three assassins just landed on the hot sandy ground. “attack” yelled Tristan. “Drop them all” he said in a manly voice. bang, bang. The assassins quickly ran and jumped down a sand june. Another three guy were riding threw the desert and they came across the three assassins and herd gun fire and saw the general and the president chasing after the three guys who had just got a 50 meter lead. So the general asked the three guys if he could borrow their camel. the three guys said no and then they said but i can kill them(The middle guy pulling out a really big sword).dun da dun da went the camels long strong legs. shing went his sword coming out of the case. slit slit slit!!. now they are dead.

About 3 years ago I went fishing with my dad and my friends Dad. We drove out to the beach and the Dad’s put the boat in the water. Me and my friend Travis went and got a pie and an ice-cream. We came out of the shop and hoped in to the boat where the dad’s were waiting for us. We went out really far and then baited our fishing rods with squid. Then dropped our lines and waited for the fish to bite. Before long Travis’s dad could feel something nibbling on his hook. He pulled up and reeled it in it was a kawai. Suddenly my rod bent over and my line was going out fast. I flicked on the catch and started reeling it in. It was really hard and my arms were aching but I got it in. My dad pulls it up on to the boat and tells me its a baby hammerhead shark. I had to let it go because it wasn't big enough. I was so proud of myself.

The sunny day Theres not a cloud in the sky I need a drink now

I smell a flower Its the last to fully bloom Its a yellow rose

I’m in my bare feet I feel the stones on the beach Crunching as I walk

Descriptive Writing

Boom!! I enter the water and miss the fish I was about to catch. “Well I will never see that fish again” I thought to my self. I get out of the water and fly up to search for other fish using my big and strong wings. Im flying with the wind under my wings, Im high in the air. I can see a school of fish that like rocks on the surface of the water. Just then they shoot off, all in different directions. I try to look for the biggest one to stalk. I looked every where but i couldn’t see any fish at all. Then when I thought “Its hopeless i will never find any fish here they all have been scared away” I glanced down and there it was. It must of been a fish the size of Godzilla. So i pinned my ears back and swooped down to catch the fish. The fish saw me coming and dived down through the water like a submarine. Even though it is under the water i am not going to let this one get away because iv’e got a heart of stone.

Once a pone a time there lived a very intelligent man named Jim. He had two kids named Guy and Quinn. Jim worked for a huge computer company called Apple and he didn’t just work there he owned it. He was very rich, until he went gambling it all away. Jim and his sons were forced to live on the street because of his stupid behavior and that was when it all happened...

“Beep Beep” was all they heard from the gutter. It was like a never ending song repeating over and over in there heads. On most nights they had no food but during the day the could scavenge some food out of dirty old trash cans. One day a pretty woman dressed in black came over to them and gave them some food. Jim and his Sons didn’t know why she gave them food so the following week he asked her why. The woman sreplied “ because I know what its like to live on the street and how hungry you can get”.

This kept happening for the next six weeks and over those six weeks Jim started liking her more and more. Then finally when she came on the last day of the sixth week when Guy and Quinn were asleep, Jim kneeled to the ground and pulled out a flower and said. “ will you marry me.”
