The enchanted forest

Emily Crystal Bloom Shrimmer was a young girl with a wild imagination and a heart full of dreams. She lived in a small village at the foot of a mountain range, surrounded by lush green forests and sparkling streams. 

 

Emily spent most of her days exploring the woods, climbing trees, and collecting wildflowers. One day, as she was wandering through the forest, Emily stumbled upon a hidden cave. She cautiously entered the cave, her heart racing with excitement. Inside, she discovered a magical stone, glowing with a brilliant blue light.

 

 Emily knew right away that this stone was something special. Over the next few weeks, Emily spent every spare moment studying the stone, trying to unlock its secrets. She discovered that the stone had the power to grant wishes, but only to those who were pure of heart and had a true desire for good. Emily knew that she was one of the chosen few, and she vowed to use the stone’s power for the betterment of all.

 

 With the help of the magical stone, Emily set out on a quest to make the world a better place. She used her newfound powers to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and comfort the lonely. She travelled far and wide, spreading joy and hope wherever she went.

 

 Years passed, and Emily became known throughout the land as a wise and compassionate leader. She never forgot the lessons she had learned from the magical stone, and she continued to use its power to help those in need. And though she had many adventures and faced many challenges, Emily always remained true to her heart, and her name became synonymous with love, hope, and courage.

 

Emily was a curious and adventurous girl who loved to explore the enchanted forest. She spent hours wandering among the towering trees, listening to the songs of the birds and the whispers of the wind. She discovered hidden streams and secret meadows, and she often sat down to sketch the beauty of the forest in her journal. Emily felt at home in the enchanted forest, and she knew that there were many more secrets waiting to be discovered.

Surprise birthday

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Flies hovered around the kitchen, looking for a suitable place to land.

Mrs Stevens carefully opened the hot oven and took out the two dozen small cakes inside. They were to be part of a surprise birthday party for her son, who would be home soon from school. After cooling the cakes by the open window, she began to decorate them with icing, cream and ‘hundreds and thousands’. Then she put them onto a large serving plate and took them to the dining table where she covered them with a brightly embroidered cloth over the cakes.

 

On the table were six cups and a similar number of knives, forks and serviettes. A birthday card with a picture on the front of a large cake with ten candles burning brightly sat at one end of the jarrah table.

 

Rain began to drip slowly down the drainpipe outside as Mrs Stevens removed her apron and hurried outside to the utility in the tin shed. Soon she was speeding down the rough and bumpy road to the bus stop. She was just in time to see a happy looking Shane waving goodbye to Mrs Johnson, the bus driver.

How to be a good Prime minister.

To be a great prime minister of New Zealand comes with great responsibility.  Leading the country comes with great respect for the people and having strength.  Today I will be talking about raising the minimum wage, lowering food prices and making public health care free.

Raising the minimum wage:

Raising the minimum wage can be good for people only getting paid 18 dollars an hour isn’t really good for some families especially for the people that live with lots of people in their house. Only getting 18 dollars an hour isn’t enough to pay for things for your family, paying the bills, feeding your family, getting clothes and more like that,  also for the people that don’t work for that long. That’s why I think that you should raise the minimum wage.

Lowering food prices:

Lowering food prices could be really good even for people who don’t have that much money to buy some food.  Lots of people around the county live with lots of people in their house and buying lots of food for the whole family to eat can be very expensive.  Food can be very good for you and if food is really expensive and people with not enough money cant get food and Skipping meals a lot can ruin your health and lower your energy. 

Making public health care free

Making public health care free can be very good because people can be very sick with not much money needing to go to the hospital and the doctors also if they dont have lots of money and not going to the doctors can be really bad for you people can die or get really really sick by not going to the hospital. People that are in an emergency like breaking their back, falling, hurting their leg, if health care was free people could go there straight away.
