Now are at home and do you
have a fruit bowl? I do. How big is your fruit bowl? Mine is middle-ish and …
magical. Now one Sunday sunny morning
while Mum was in the garden and Dad was in the kitchen doing the dishes, I was
watching Tom and Jerry with my sister, then I went to the fruit bowl because I
wanted a banana, but just as I was going to grab it, it jumped out of
reach. Then all of a sudden all of the
fruit started to run away. I chased them
everywhere. The back door was open so the fruit ran outside and climbed over
the wall.
“Mum”, I said, “Mum can I go
and chase the fruit?”
“Yes
dear”, said Mum, not even bothering to look up and opened the garden gate so I could
get out and run after the fruit. Suddenly
I found myself at the greengrocers they sneaked in through a mouse hole
and…..came out with VEGETABLES!!! I was quite surprised when vegetables came
out as well and ran with the fruit. Anyway I ran and ran until I could run no more.
I chased them till dusk and by the time I got home my sister was already in
bed. Oh my head! I was late for tea!
“Where did you disappear to?”
asked Dad,
“I’ve been chasing fruit” I
said, “Look in the fruit bowl it’s empty”
“Oh my soul”, shouted dad.
My sister woke up, “What’s
going on?” she said, “Has a bomb gone off?”
“No“, I said, “I have been
chasing fruit.”
“Well I’m going back to
bed”, said my sister sulkily, “good night”.
She yawned and went back
upstairs to go back to bed.
“Teatime”, called Mum from
the kitchen. I sighed and went to straight
to the chair where I sat. Mum came in
from the kitchen carrying a plate of pizza.
When I had finished I went straight upstairs to go to bed.
In the morning I got up and
looked out of my window. I couldn’t
believe my eyes the fruit were on the grass asleep, then the fruit awoke and
went to Dad’s VEGETABLE PATCH!!!! They
pulled out carrots, potatoes, cabbages and lettuces. Wow! Golly gosh they took lots of vegetables. Just as a banana was about to eat a cabbage
leaf I sneaked down stairs and went outside and… caught the banana that I
wanted!!! Then all the fruit stopped
eating and went all quiet and still. All
the fruit were back to normal. Yay! I stopped the fruit, Well Done I did it.
When my mum and dad came
downstairs they STARED! “Well I think they stared don’t you?” They said “why
are the fruit lying on the lawn”? I said “Because I’ve been chasing fruit.” “Ok,”
my mother and father said sleepily.
