A NIGHT OUT
by Sarah Nazish: Golden Corals
It was about twelve O’ clock at night when Tom and Kate got home. Their sister, Jane, had been asleep since eight O’clock and the house was dark and quiet.
“Be very quiet” said their mum. “We don’t want to wake Jane or your grand mother, do we?”
Dad closed the door as quietly as he could and then whispered, “You two are going to bed now. its school in the morning and little boys and girls should be fast asleep by this time of night!”
Kate and Tom hated it when their father called them little boys and girls. They knew he was only trying to make them laugh and they loved him very much, but he could be very annoying at times.
“Come on, get up those stairs and clean your teeth, and don’t run the water too loudly or you will wake people up!” said mum. The brother and sister did as they were told. They were too tired to argue and besides it had been a wonderful evening. First they had been
To a café and had eaten cake and drunk some tea. Next they had been to the circus. The clowns had made them laugh when they tipped water over one another and fell about on the ground and threw custard pies at each other. There had been many animals, but the children’s favourite was the elephant who drank water and then blew it out of his trunk at the clowns. They had never seen mum laugh so much.
After the circus, mum drove them home, but on the way they stopped for fish and chips. Mum didn’t want the car to smell of fish and chips, so they had walked up and down the street eating the hot food out of trays with their fingers. Dad had said that it was the only way to eat fish and chips and the children had to admit that food had never tasted so good.
Now they were back at their house and all they wanted to do was go to bed and think about the circus and fall asleep. Just as they were getting into bed, they heard a loud crashing noise. Kate and Tom ran to the window at once and when they looked out they could not believe what they saw-All the houses were shaking, everything was turning upside down and crashing to the ground. An earthquake had struck. Quickly Tom took out his magic ball and threw it down the road! The crashing immediately stopped. Everybody cheered Tom, but Kate and Jane were still frightened and crying.
When Tom threw the ball an alien came out of the ground and entered the town, everybody got frightened and ran into their rooms and hid under their beds. But the alien quickly caught Tom and Kate! Everybody screamed at once.
Grandmother took out a pin and poked the alien in the eyes, and the alien died instantly. Tom and Kate came running to grandma.
Everybody cheered grandma.The aliens never came back to their lovely town again .All went back to sleep. And they lived happily ever after…….
