 * Task 3-** 200 word short story about everyday objects eg. a doll, a cake of soap.

Once, there sat a doll, high on a shelf in a bedroom, watching, waiting. The doll was about the size of a can opener, with big eyes that click open and close. As everyday went by, the doll got border and border. Then one day, she had an idea, she was going to get off that shelf and do something exciting. She jumped off the shelf and floated to the ground, light as a feather. It took the doll a while to get walking but she did, she walked down the long hallway and saw door slightly open. She cautiously walked in the door and saw a toilet, a bath and a sink, all gleaming white. She climbed up to the top of the bath, by the taps and pulled the cold tap until it turned on. It looked like a giant waterfall. She stepped back in amazement, but she slipped and fell onto a cake of soap. The soap started sliding down, with the doll on it, nearly at the edge of the waterfall bath. “AAAAAHHHHHH!” she screamed, as she slid all the way down to the bottom of the bath. She lay there, floating in the water. ‘That was an adventure she though.

__ Megan’s Egyptian Experience __ “We have arrived, here in Egypt!” Dad says loudly as we get into the motel and find our room. The walls had heaps of Egyptian symbols and pictures, it was amazing, and they used to worship cats! I found my room and now all I wanted to do was sleep, tomorrow we are going to the pyramids. Next morning I awoke to mum and dad getting things reading for the day. “Megan! You’re up,” mum said giving me a hug, “today we’re going to explore the ancient pyramids.” I couldn’t wait! I rushed to get ready and then we left. When we got to pyramids a tour guide greeted us, “Hello, welcome. I’m your guide...” then he said a really long name, “but you can call me Bob.” He said, smiling. I was really excited, I raced ahead. I didn’t think I’d get lost how big can this place be anyway? But I was lost. I turned around to go back to my parents and Bob, but I saw someone sitting huddled up in a far corner. I walked over; “Hi” I said to the person, she looked up. “Oh, hello.” She had a tear stained face. “What’s wrong?” I asked, sitting down next to her. “Nothing much, I just can’t find my cat, Ellie, but you don’t need to worry. I’m Aziza, what’s your name?” she asked. “I’m Megan, I’ve lost my family. I do think it’s important to find your cat, I’ll help you.” I replied. “Okay Megan, you can help, but we’ll find your family first.” said Aziza. Aziza knows this place well because she lives close by, so eventually we found my parents and Bob. It turns out they had been searching for me in another pyramid instead of looking around. “Mum can I help Aziza find her cat while you guys look in the next pyramid?” I asked, eager to return to Aziza who was waiting for me. “Okay, but meet us back at the motel at 1:00 and don’t get lost again!” she said. “Okay, see you soon!” I called running back to Aziza.” Where should we start?” I asked. “We should check the main pyramid first, that’s where I think I saw her last.” Aziza said. We walked over to the main pyramid and started calling Ellie. We searched the pyramids and in the 5th pyramid we saw Ellie lying on the ground with 3 baby kittens lying next to her. “Oh my gosh, she’s had kittens!” Aziza said, stroking Ellie and her kittens. “Wow!” I sighed, sitting down next to the little cats. Ellie let us carry her and her kittens back to Aziza house, we lay them on her bed. “Thank you so much Megan, you are a great friend,” Aziza said, hugging me. “now you must go and enjoy the rest of your holiday, thanks again!” she said walking me to the door. “Bye!” I yelled as I ran back to my parents. ‘That was a really good Egyptian experience’ I thought to myself.
