It was a lovely
hot day on an island in the middle of the ocean. There were three families
living there, the Thompson’s, the Parkers and the Stanford’s.
Alana
and Zoë both from different families decided to plant a tree, it didn’t take
long to grow. They were very pleased because two days later it was fully-grown.
They both sat under the tree all day everyday for about two weeks.
One night as they were going to bed they
heard a mumble sound it was coming from outside, Zoë and Alana went to see what
it was but they found nothing. The next day they went to sit under the tree to
have breakfast, it was a silent morning because everyone was still in bed. All
of a sudden they heard a mumble just like the one before this it seemed to get
louder, the tree branches were swaying. It puzzled them. They stood up there was
no wind. They started to wonder why it was swaying. They started to look closer
at the tree then suddenly a pair of eyes opened; they jumped back and looked at
each other “Did you just see that?” Zoë said “Heck yeah I did!” Alana
replied. The tree started speaking Alana and Zoë ran away shouting, “The tree
is speaking, the tree is speaking!” They finally found their parents and told
them about the tree but no one could understand them because they were speaking
too fast. So Alana and Zoë took them to see it but when they got there it was
crying. Zoë’s mum dropped to the floor, as did Lana’s dad. Alana walked up
to the tree and asked what the matter was he said he was upset because they ran
away from him. They were all talking to him for the rest of the day. All through
the night it was talking but no one knew who to. After about a week the tree
never stopped talking so they tried to shut it up but everything they did would
not work. They tried everything but no success.
Three
weeks later the Thompson’s eldest son came to visit and luckily he knew how to
shut it up. After two days of planning he decided he was going to cut it down.
So the next day he went down to the tree and said sorry to the tree then chopped
it down. Zoë got upset because she planted that tree; she went inside away from
everything.
A
couple of hours later the tree was finally down and everyone went home. They
started to hear singing later that night; they all rushed outside and saw little
trees singing. Alana and Zoë looked at each other and put their heads in hands
and said OH MY GOODNESS!!! . They all fell to the floor, the only people standing
were the Thompson family, Zoë and Alana.”I wish we didn’t plant that
tree” Said Zoë “well these things happen “Alana replied.
The
Thompson all shouted, “Here we go again!!”
