Clouds

by Akira Garton

Here is something written by my friend's groovy little 7 year old daughter.....babel

The earth was peaceful and the clouds, one cloud was mean and he had servants. They were powerful and mean very mean. All the people were happy but they always had something wrong like an animal had died from nothing or buildings would fall if they were new or old! They were from the mean cloud. One day a family went to the beach, they had a good time because the oldest that was seventeen and her name was Stephanie, she found a stone with colours like purple, orange, green and mango yellow, it was worth about ninety dollars, her mother said! She had a sister, she was fourteen, her name was Spirits(Sper-rits). She found a Sharks Skeleton, she said wow! Their brother who was ten and his name was Tom and he wanted to be a scientist when he grow up, he found a huge shell, you could even live in it, sleep in it too! The second youngest, her name was Isabel and her age was eight. She found some coral from one million years ago! The youngest she was five and her name was Shy, she found a sea snake with its skin and its skeleton! They found these things all from the good clouds. The family camped nearby the sea, they had a good time!

One day they went down the path to the beach, the littlest ran down the path and landed in a heap! The stone that the biggest had was magic and she didn't know that. When the whole family got down they put out their blankets and got their swimmers on and went for a swim. They didn't notice the cold or the wind or the blackish, greyish clouds. They didn't even notice one bit. One day the biggest got sent a magic torch. The stone was magic too. With both the powers she could be protected from SECRET POWERS! With colours to protect her heart and a torch (a magic torch) that will protect her from danger anywhere.

That family was special, but nobody knew because in those days people were rich and didn't believe of a change to the way they lived, even if they told somebody they wouldn't believe it! Stephanies friends believed her, her boyfriend even wanted to know more! Her family had a book of instructions, things in the past it helped them with spells, etc! One day in town was great, the kids got more winter clothes because it was just about the end of Autumn. The oldest had to get an extra warm swim-suit! It was for seeing ice in the sea.

Stephanie saw the ice and nobody knew that there was ice in the sea! There were lots of secrets under that sea! They were having such a good time they forgot about school and all that kind of stuff. Stephanie even forgot that it was her birthday soon. Only two days away! So, her Mum had to tell her! Her Mum had a surprise party for her. She invited Stephanies boyfriend, Nicki, Angela, Kate, Kylie, Katherin, Chris and Sydney. On the day of her birthday she turned 18.

Angela was the first to arrive. She gave Stephanie a sea shell. It had spikes on it. Her boyfriend arrived next and gave her a kiss and said happy happy birthday to my darling, and gave her a set of glasses. There were two glasses. It was so funny because it was just like a dream come true! When everybody arrived at the party there was lots and lots of wine and beer! Stephanie was having such a good time she put on all 50's and 70's and 80's songs. When she put on the first song they all went like a bunch of twelve year olds and they said, I know this one, I loved this one, What's its name again!

After the party Stephanie lay down and had a good sleep with her teddy bear. The next morning things going wrong. It started to flood in different parts of town. Stephanie looked in the Instruction Book. It said, get a stone, any stone and put it in a flood and run away from it. This is what kind of rock you need to find. It is a rose quartz. It didn't say anything else. She packed some food: 2 bananas, 1 apple, a sandwich, 7 packets of chips, some herbs etc, and cold things to make a dinner with, water and a special drink.

Stephanie packed her stone and the instruction book, a radio and these glass's with a mini T.V. on each side! She was leaving on Monday and it was Sunday. She had looked all over her city she was living in, the instruction book it said over seas and turn right! She looked and she thought. On the plan trip to Chicago, she saw very bad storms and the plane was so close to getting struck buy lightning! She found the rock in Los angels! She went to a flood in town and it was called Wallia (Wall-i-a) rock point. She put the rock in the flood and she flow away! 20 years later, Tom was twenty and he was a Scientist, he was so good, he worked out how to make yourself invisible! It was so bad, the storms, they rained so much, they were CLOUDS! If you stepped out of your house, you would be picked up by a cloud and be tossed down head first or go to heaven! Then after thirty years, the storm was gone and only four people were left on earth and that was the start of the DINOSAURS! The end
