The little red hen is going to the beach.


Here's a quite new story about the little red hen and her friends. It's written by Alexandra and Jonna in 9C and they are going to introduce it to you on 22 May. That's the day that we are going down to the sea to have some games and other fun activities.



On the beach
It was a sunny, beautiful and warm day, and the little red hen was beginning to sweat under her thick feathers. She wanted to bring her friends to go batheing in the ocean. First, the little red hen went to visit her mate, the dog, to ask him if he wanted to join her at the beach. When she came to his place, the hen got a nice surprise. There were all of her friends! The mouse and the cat had both gone to the dog to ask if he wanted to come along to the beach, together with the others in the gang. They went together down to the beach, and the cat suggested that they could play rounders (“burn ball”) before they took a dip in the ocean. After a while, the mouse fell into a small hole, and he couldn’t climb up again.
“I’ll save you” said the cat and put her tail into the hole, so that her friend could climb up. The dog said that it was time to take a swim, because all of the friends were drenched in sweat. All the friends went fore a refreshing bathe, but suddenly, the hen started to scream. She couldn’t swim! “I’ll save you!” said the dog. “Hurry upp!” squeaked the mouse. “I don’t feel like swimming anymore” said the cat when everyone sat safe on the beach.
“What’s that?” asked the hen and pointed at something big and grey... An elephant! And it was hurtling towards them! It ran straight to the dog, that had to flee for his life. “I’ll save you” screamed the mouse. “Hey, you big thing! I’m a mouse, leave my friend alone!”. And as the most people know, elephants are very scared of mice. So the elephant now began to run for his life. “Shall we go home?” asked the dog. “OK” answered the others, and they began to walk home. But they had not gone far before a big, ugly bird flew down and took the cat’s back with its big claws. “I’ll save you!” clucked the hen and flew up and bit the bird, so it let go of the cat. (Well, everybody knows that hens really can’t fly, but this is my story, so this one can!)

What a dangerous, but exciting, day it had been for all of the friends! When they’re together, nothing can hurt them. And that is just one of the things that are great with having friends.
