Christmas Magic.


By Caja Gilbert. 6B

On a hot, windy Australian Christmas Eve at 72 Cama Drive, lived a young girl called Poppy. Poppy was three years old and had a great imagination. She was a well mannered girl. Around about Christmas time she had a really vivid imagination.

Poppy was in the kitchen begging her Mum to tell her what she was getting for Christmas, when suddenly Poppy had an idea about what she could get her Mum for Christmas. She would make it snow!

Nasi, Poppy's older sister, could tell what she was thinking and she wanted to stop all this silly business and not make it snow. Nasi was a mean girl who always got her way.

Poppy's Mum told her to go out and pick berries but Nasi had to go with her. Poppy thought to herself that she would hitch a ride to the North Pole and tell Santa what she wanted and she would get it for her Mum.

They were out in the garden and Nasi and Poppy were talking when suddenly Poppy disappeared and Nasi was worried sick. She went inside and screamed to her mother, "Poppy's gone!!" Her mother quickly called the police. She told them, "My daughter has gone!". Then Nasi ran back outside and said, " I know where she has gone! She has gone to Santa's workshop!"

Then Nasi went to go after her and spoil her plans. When she found Poppy she had hitched a ride to Turkey and was asking people if she could get a ride to the North Pole. Very sneakily Nasi hopped on the back of the sled that Poppy had got on to. When the sled finally stopped they were in Russia. Luckily Poppy had some money with her. So she went to the corner shop and bought a pizza. While she was eating the pizza Nasi sneakily broke the sleigh. Then when Poppy had finished eating she went back to the sled and saw it was broken and decided that she would just have to find another form of transport.

Three hours later, Poppy found some transportation. A horse had been left alone, so she took it and rode off. But Nasi was up to her old tricks and she sneaked into the carriage attached to the horse and off they went on the expedition to the North Pole.

Finally, the horse made it all the way to the North Pole and Nasi could not believe it. All they had to do now was to find Santa's workshop.

Nasi left the carriage and went and climbed a hill and made an avalanche. Poppy and the carriage got covered in snow and it took her three hours to get out. Little did Nasi know that while she was planning just to cover Poppy in snow, what she did was to cover Santa's workshop as well. Santa met Poppy in the middle of the snow and granted Poppy her wish and also sent her home. When she got home her Mum cuddled her and told her not to go and collect any more berries. Meanwhile to this day Nasi remains in the North Pole!
