Dream Come True
Ariel started singing with her gorgeous, golden voice and Ursula started pulling the voice into a glass case. “Huheheuheheh,” Ursula’s evil lawww.onedoor.ccugh filled the ocean and right then, Ariel glowed brightly and her mermaid fins got replaced with two legs. Emma’s giant, glossy, hazel eyes were wide open, showing a little mix of confusion and anger.“Mother, why is Ariel trading her beautiful mermaid fins for ugly legs?” Emma stopped her mother from reading. “Oh, Emma, it’s just a story. This is something that won’t ever happen. It’s unreal and that is why it is called a fairy tale!” Emma’s mom smiled ...

The grottos shaped from rock cradled us against ‘The Outside’. My school was in Cave 3, a round open space here we sat, and listened, scratched our answers on stones. “Well done Ayana that’s correct.” “Please miss what were the trees like? Tell me again.” She sat beside me and drew in the dust. “Trees gave life, they sent oxygen into the atmosphere. Look, do you see the roots here?” She pointed to the trailing lin...
