THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER 2

The Strange Encounter           
I felt a little nervous that fateful day because we were going camping in the woods and it was my first time. I always knew the woods as a scary place, but I will just have to manage.
We arrived at the camping ground and it looked so amazing; birds chirping everywhere, flowers and trees blooming brightly, the fresh breeze blowing my face and hair.
We then met the ranger. He was tall and dark in complexion. He wore a tan colored jacket with green shorts he quickly introduced himself to us “My name is Ranger Tom.’’  He told us we were going hiking and will see some bears too.  “Grab your bags and follow me.” He instructed. We went through narrow paths across gushing streams and finally "WOW!" The bears cave. Ranger Tom then called their names ‘Fuzzy, Twinkle, Amstel.’ They came out he gave them honey and we played.

Something caught my attention, a beam behind the trees. I went closer and behold before me was a waterfall. It looked as if it was a rainbow, big and bright and as I was admiring the waterfall something passed “Aaahhh!” I turned but saw nothing but it passed again Hmmm! This time I saw someone in a red cloak looking like a ghost and he whispered “Go away, Go away.” And it all stopped then started again. My flesh became numb and I froze there instantly. I don’t know for how long I stood there until I heard……….
“Ribbit  Ribbit”  croaked a frog I then realized that it was getting dark so I grabbed my bag and headed back to the camp,
   On the way, I met Ranger Tom and he asked me where I have been. I told him I saw a waterfall and I have been there but he didn’t believe me. “I wondered whether anyone had died here or had been murdered here” I thought as I continued my journey to the camp. The distraction of thoughts made me not to see a huge rock. I tripped and in the process twisted my ankle. I was taken back to camp in pains. The adults told me not to go outside for two days but I didn’t listen. While they were talking I snick outside with my friends and we all headed for the waterfall.
"WOW!" exclaimed my friends. “It’s huge right” I said. Just then we started to hear “Go away, Go away.”  We said “we’re not going away.” This time the figure wore a black cloak and it came closer. It was about a meter tall and it said “Do not tell anyone about this.’’ 
 “OK.” we said and ran away
It was somehow painful to discover something as beautiful as the waterfall and not show it to others. We then decided to take an oath to keep our discovery a secret.

          “Yeah it’s time for recess!” shouted Jake and it was time to outside. The class perfect spent ten minutes arranging the line and she shouted “Oh come on, this break time is only thirty minutes!” She managed to arrange us and they went down stairs. When they got there, the Hummingbirds were already there and did not allow the us to play. By the time they finish playing, it was break over. We were sad. In my opinion, I believe break time should be extended to one hour.                My first point is, we need to make new friends and  we need more time to allow us to make new friends. Also, your cousin can be in the same school and you won’t even know, imagine that! I strongly believe we need more recess time.                  Next, it enables us to explore nature. We need more break time because exploring nature is good. You can see the plants around the school and learn from them. Also see creatures that people thought were extinct.                Finally, when we s

THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER

It was a boring afternoon with my sisters and I on the couch. Our parents had gone to work and weren’t coming home until tomorrow and there was nothing for us to do. The phones were down and the thunderstorm last night had smashed the Dstv dish. Suddenly, Stella my younger sister came up with an idea!                                                                                 ‘‘Why don’t we go on an adventure into the valley’’                                                                      Without even thinking about it I concluded it was a good idea. We all sprang up from the couch and raced to our various rooms. I put on a yellow T-shirt with animal paw prints all over it. I got my adventure bag and packed all the resources I needed. When I got downstairs, I noticed my sisters had copied my outfit and even the adventure bag. Too excited to get mad I overlooked their ‘offence’ and shouted “LET’S GO!” We reached the valley, it was such an amazing sight that
