A day goes by so fast…

A day goes by so fast…


By Ruby & Lacey

“Hi! Good morning! How are you? Wow, I haven't seen you in so long!” huh, people are walking by like I don’t exist… Meh, why do I care? It’s not like I can’t fend for myself! Hmpf! It’s extremely busy today… I feel like I'm gonna walk straight into someone at any moment now…


Ok wait for it…. 3 2 1 aaand. Oh??? Maybe it is not as busy as I thought! Oof! Ok I just hit a wall… I’m gonna go home… I walk up to the fruit shop… And as usual there’s 2 apples, 1 grape, 2 mangos, and 5 kiwis. All from the fruit shop on top of me… I guess the old fruit shop lady cares for me… Meh? I take the basket of fruit from under the fruit shop…


And I place it on the small stone stool… My home isn’t the best to some others… But to me, it is awesome! It has a small hay stack which I call my bed, with a small piece of cloth to go with it. I have a little stone table with a stool to sit on that I mentioned before!!! And I have a little drawer. I keep all the things I only get to eat occasionally. Inside I have bread! It is kinda muddy and green… But still delicious!!! I also have peaches that I only eat on my birthday! And a small mouldy piece of cake! I still remember when I got it… I saw a kid at the park, I think it was his birthday? I swooped down at him like a bird hanging on a tree and swooped down and pecked the cake out of his hand, ha! It was hilarious!


Woah! What have we got here? A berry hey? I’ll take it inside… Huh??? A crow??? Wait! That’s my berry! Hey give it back you naughty bird! But the bird swooped away… Oooh! A big crowd! What’s going on there? Better go check it out!


Oh. Just an ugly poster… No big deal! I started walking home when someone pulled my muddy cloth over my arm! (I made the clothing myself, since I don’t have a shirt.) HEY! Let me go! The man looked like a big strong guy. But dumb too, “We don’t have a lot of contestants for the game. Weakling! So I pulled out the nearest person. And I can’t believe my luck! You little weakling! I will beat you up into shriveled bits in no time!” He laughed.. “ You think you can beat me?! Ha well you better be joking!’ I have never met someone in my life I couldn’t beat! So you are gonna be a piece of cake…”


And so just like that the man let go of my shirt. “Fine! See ya at The Grizzly Bear inn! Better see ya! WEAKLING!!! “ Huh? The Grizzly bear inn? Where in the world is that place? Oh. It is right there. I walk over to Grizzly bear inn. “Hello darling!” An old fat woman said. “My name is Mother Stone! I will be the host of this fantastic game! OK. I said calmly and so I booked a seat. “Your room is in room 56 MY DEAR…” she said with a big smile. Ok? I said unsurely… She handed the keys to me and I walked to room 56…


As I entered it felt just like home… A rust carpet, a hay bed with a silk cloth and a stone table. I made myself at home, then explored the room. I saw a few pieces of mouldy bread and nibbled on it savagely! When I finished Mother Stone entered my room and said the game starts tomorrow morning at 8am. So I tucked myself into bed and fell asleep… In the morning I got woken up by a BIG LOUD BELL saying that the games are beginning. So I slowly walked out of bed and went to the arena. As soon as I saw what we were doing I ran back home under the fruit shop…


But I guess someone heard me, and started running after me! Saying something under his breath… I got scared! What was he thinking? I quickly grabbed a tree branch and flipped over and kicked his face… I ran as fast as I could back under the old fruit shop… Where no one could find me… And where I was safe…
