Hatty by Emily
Well I don’t really know how to start, umm I’ll start here……… I was in the garden, that’s the normal part of my story. Now I will tell you the not so normal part. I was playing in the garden as usual with my cousins. They were running away from me again, then suddenly there was a boy. he had thick brown hair and he was in his night-wear! I know for a fact that he didn’t see me. One time I saw him walking through a door! I mean how can you walk through a door?
And he found my secret tunnel. So I decided to go and meet him. “Hello” I said, “Who are you ?” he said.
“I’m Hatty, and over there are my cousins”. “I know ” he said, but how did he know?
From then on I played with him whenever I saw him. And we went inside the greenhouse. One day I showed him how to make arrows and he showed me how to make bows. I wasn’t strong enough to bend the wood. He was a bit upset because he couldn’t play. If he held the bow or arrow it fell through his hand.
I told him all my secrets even after I’d told him I wouldn’t. When we were playing with the bows and arrows I accidentally shot the fifth arrow on the greenhouse roof. Luckily Abel the gardener fixed it. Well there you are…..that’s part of my long long story.
