= = = = =  = = = =**A TRIP TO THE DESERT.** =  Three best friends lived together in a forest. There were the lazy cat and turtle who just layed around in the tree house all day, then there was budgie, if it wasn’t for budgie I don’t think the turtle and cat would be able to live. Budgie is the adventurous one who goes out and collects all the food.



One day budgie decides that the cat and turtle need to get some fresh air so he takes them on a trip to the desert. The cat and turtle weren’t to keen on the idea at first. Budgie said to the cat and turtle “right you two wait here while I go and collect some food for the journey” so off she went with a spoon clutched tightly in her claws. She was flying gracefully through the forest with her colourful wings spread out wide, when she spotted some juicy looking mushrooms, so she swooped down and dug them out the side of the tree. “Ah these will be perfect for our trip” she said to herself while lifting up off the ground and flying back to the tree house.

When she finally got back she found Cat and Turtle terribly ill lying on the tree house floor. “What’s wrong with you two” she said in a shocked voice. “While you were gone Turtle and I decided that we would help find some food, so we went out and straight away saw some yummy looking mushrooms, we picked them and came in side. They looked so nice we wanted to eat them straight away, so we did and know we don’t fell so good” said Cat. “But I told you strictly not to ever, ever in your whole life eat or touch those toadstools” Budgie said in a very strong voice. “I'm so sorry we mustn’t of been listening to you” Turtle said in a small scared voice. “No need to fear I know exactly what will get up and full of life again, well not that you were ever really full of life but I’ll do it anyway” said Budgie in a very proud voice.

“I’m going to the desert were the oasis is so I can get some of the magical healing water to cure you two from your toadstool illness” said Budgie. So she packed her bag with a special drink bottle to carry the water in. Her friends wished her luck as she took off up into the blue sky. As she arrived at the desert a drop of sweat fell from her forehead as it was so hot. In the distance she could see the shimmering oasis that held the magical healing water. She flew as fast as she could landing softly on the edge of the oasis. Budgie took her bag off placing it in front of her. She reached in and pulled out the bottle and dipped it into the water listening to the glugging noise as it filled. She needed a rest but couldn’t stop, so once again she lifted up off the ground and headed for the forest.



￼ When she got back Cat and Turtle were still lying on the ground sick. Budgie poured the water into two glasses being careful not to spill it. As they drank the water there was silence no one knew straight away if it had worked. Slowly they started to fell better after awhile they felt better than they had ever felt before. The two of them were so adventurous maybe even more adventurous then Budgie. “Come on Budgie lets go on that trip to the desert” said Cat in a very excited voice. “Oh no” thought Budgie.

=__THE OLD GUM TREE. __ =  

As the birds sat happily tweeting to each other in the glowing branches of the old gum tree.

The warm winter sun peeked through the long narrow branches. The gentle breeze whispered through the old gum trees, swaying the branches gently back and forth.

As the hours passed by, the sun slowly lowered and the moon came up. One by one the birds stopped cheeping as they slowly drifted off into to a peaceful sleep, dreaming of the glistening sun and the old gum tree.

=DANCING LIGHTS. = 

An explosion of flickering neon lights, dance in the darkness of the night, twirling and swaying, what a magnificent sight, burning hot and bright, I take a deep breath, and gently blow out, in a flash the magnificent lights go out.

=__**THROUGH OTHERS EYES.**__ =  ￼

Everyone is watching me. There is a body lying in front of me looking totally lifeless. I am so nervous. If I mess this up this innocent person could die, because of me. I just stand there for a moment and stare and the body. “Scalpel” I say as the doctor behind me hands it to me. I slowly reach towards the body and press down hard on the scalpel. I pull it backwards and I see the body open up, blood is oozing out. Suddenly I hear a long never ending beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. I try to save him but its too, late he’s dead, gone, never to breath again.
