The first thing that comes to your mind
STUCK
One fine summer’s day, my sister and I were playing out in the back garden with our sneaky cat Amanda. Then, something extraordinary happened.
“Your lunch is nearly ready, we are having pasta, so five more minutes outside girls!” our mother shouted. “Okay” we say. Amanda suddenly leaps into the air and follows a wild rabbit. “AMANDA! COME BACK!” we shout. Still Amanda follows the rabbit, so we decide to run after her. We forgot about the real world and we just kept following Amanda. She led us into Pat’s (our neighbour) field. We stop because we are out of breath, but still, Amanda keeps on running, so we are forced to follow her. “AMANDA, PLEASE COME BACK!” then we were led into another field and we stop finally as Amanda runs off. I look around and realise that we are lost. “Sophie, where are we?” I ask her. “I DON’T KNOW! You are the older sibling, you should know.” After a couple minutes of awkward silence, Sophie said “I’m hungry.” When Sophie is hungry, she won’t be happy or in a good temper till she gets food. The first stage of her hungriness is when she says “I’m hungry.” The second stage of her hungriness is when she starts getting hangry. (A mixture of hungriness and angriness) then the third stage is when she gets into a bad temper. So we needed to get back before Sophie practically blew up. I tried to handle the situation and I told Sophie, “don’t panic” but, when someone says “don’t panic” it obviously means that there is going to be a very bad situation. I looked around and I realised we were at the bottom of a hill. To the right of us there was a big hill in the distance with a herd of bulls. So we needed to move, but there was no chance they could come to us, so we were lucky. It seemed Sophiemoved into stage two of her hungriness, as a fight then started.
“WHY DID YOU MAKE US FOLLOW AMANDA?! WELL, MEGHAN?!” bellowed Sophie. As I had experienced one of Sophie’s, explosions, (we call them), I was ready to try calm her down, but the only thing that calmed her down was food. So I made a good plan to get out. “Okay Sophie, if we work together we can get out of here, okay?” I said. “Fine” said Sophie. “Okay, we will check each opening of the field to see which one is Pat’s field. Pats field is easy to spot as there is a big white stone near the entrance. So we will stick together and find our way back.” I say sensibly and calmly, but inside me, I was freaking out. We checked a small sized field first. I peeked through the wire, where I found a herd of donkeys grazing, one looked up at me and gave me a disturbed look, as if I was interrupting mass or something, then the whole lot looked at me so I decided to back away slowly. “Not that field anyway” I say. We went round in circles checking each field, and then we were at our last one. “It’s this one!” I say. We scramble through the wire and approach level two
It seemed easy to get out of, but there was two entrances to Pat’s field, one on the left and one on the right, we should of went through the left entrance, because we were stuck in a pile of sheep poo, and we couldn’t turn back, and if we entered the right way, we would of gotten back quicker. The sheep poo slowed us down well. And, to our great annoyance, Amanda was already back somehow, and we saw her resting on the grass like she was waiting for us. A good while later, we returned back to our garden and finally had our lunch.
We told our parents and friends about our little adventure, and each time, we always burst out laughing, till our sides hurt.
The End
