The Runaway Child
One dark night in a small poor village there was a little hut just near the forest. In that hut there is a mum and a dad. They have a nine year old child. Her name is Abby. Her dad is a farmer. He works for a farm company. He didn’t get paid very much. All he could by for the family was bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even though the family was poor it was still enough for them to survive. One day, Abby’s Dad came home with sad news.Her Dad’s job got replaced by a guy who’s family was almost about to die and also because he was the laziest on the farm. It was nearly time for bed. Abby was already tucked up in bed ready to go to sleep. She closed her eyes. Abby heard the door shut behind her. Her parents had left the room. Later that night when her parents were asleep, she got up got dressed into warm clothes, packed her bag and set off into the night sky. Abby found the entrance to the forest. She felt a bit nervous and scared but she had to do something other wise her family would die from nothing to eat or drink. The forest was full of animals that could be eaten, so technically it was like Abby was hunting. She bought with her a pocket knife just in case of need. She set off into the dark forest and not to be seen by a human. Abby tried to find shelter, but she had no luck so she lay down under a oak tree. It wasn’t comfortable having pinecones drop down on you well you try to sleep. Then she sees the bush shake. Out popped a puppy. It said ‘come with me.’ So Abby quickly moved before another pinecone fell on her. The puppy lead her to a cave with a little slide to get down, well that’s what the pup said. Abby put her legs in first. The puppy said right before she went down ‘good luck.’Abby went down. It wasn’t just a little drop, it was a long deep drop. Abby opened her eyes and she was back in bed. It must have been a dream.
