1. As I walked to the playground everybody laughed. Then some kid sniggered at me, "Is it true that Lizzy Green started ploughing the playground with a spade and then found a mummy inside?"They all laughed. I dug my nails into my plan. It had happened again. Just as I was having such a great day in school, Jack who had an intense dislike for me spread another rumour. And not just one. At least ten rumours in a day! The thought of the wicked thief spreading these unkind lies was too much to bear. I marched off to Mr.Tean, the brown bearded man to tell off Jack. It had gone far too much.
2. It was a dark quiet night in the forbidden forest as the boy stood in the very clearing. He was covered with marks of charcoal and his cheeks were a bright red. But that didn't matter now. For twelve days of suffering in bitter winds it was worth it. He rubbed his hands to the warmth of the hearth. The boy wore nothing at all except a small piece of loin cloth tied beneath his waist. He bent over to steady the roaring flames which had started to crackle noisily, and suddenly he heard it, the inhuman frightening cry. And then it pounced.
3. She sat by the railway station on the grassy landscape gazing hungrily at the many different flavours of ice-cream on display. The freights hurried on, making her feel quiet dizzy. Then the train stopped and chuffed like an athlete out of breath. Two men with devilish looks sneaked into the train and came out with something that looked like two shields plated with gold and silver. Flashing each other a saucy look they scrambled on, taking the loot with them.
