Rosie and the Magic Forest . . .
Chapter 1: The Hunter . . .
One day, Rosie went outside to admire the beautiful flowers, pixie dust, the fairies, and magical animals. Then, she realized it’s time to harvest her strawberries! Then, her friend Daisy ran up to her with a poster in her hand. She yelled, “ROSIE LOOK AT THE POSTER!! IT’S A HUNTING SEASON!!!”
She yelled so loud that EVERYONE heard, including the hunter . . . Rosie could hear the hunter coming, so she tried to run in her house, but once she opened the door, she got hit on her ear and her leg! Then, she fell to the ground . . .
Chapter 2: What Happened?
On one sunny day, Rosie woke up with the sun shining in her face. She looked confused. Then, she saw Daisy picking apples from trees. Daisy looked at Rosie in shock and rushed over. “What happened?” Rosie asked.
“Wait a second . . . WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FOREST!!!” Rosie yelled. All the plants were dead, and there was smoke everywhere . . .
Chapter 3: No More Magic . . .
“Oh, when you were sleeping the hunter took over. Now there are not as many animals to help grow the plants, and once the plants died, so did the Magic Flower,” said Daisy.
“I’m sorry we can’t, we don’t have magic,” said Daisy.
“Well, like I said, we have to do something. We can’t just let this happen!” said Rosie.
“OK, I guess we’re fighting!” said Daisy.
Chapter 4: Time to Fight!
So then, Rosie and Daisy wandered quietly in the forest to look for more
animals to help fight the hunter. Every time they asked an animal, they said yes because they wanted to get revenge.
“Yes, we have a team! So uh, Rosie, what are we going to do now?”said Daisy.
“We’re going to train.” They trained for hours, for days, for weeks! Then, one day, while pointing at a panda behind her, a fox said, “Um hi, can we join your team?”
“Sure! We can never have too much help!” said Rosie.
“Thanks, my name is Foxy, and this is my friend Bu—”
“ANDI’MBUFFPANDA!!!” One day, when they were training, something happened . . . all of a sudden, they heard a snap! Someone had stepped on a branch. Then, in the flesh, it was the hunter, standing right in front of them . . .
Chapter 5: Rosie and the Hunter . . .
“Well, well, well, I thought I killed you, bunny,” said the hunter. “Well, I guess I have MORE animals to kill!”
So, then everyone fought powerlessly! Fighting, biting, punching, kicking. Animals were hurt, some even KILLED! Then, Rosie tripped on a rock, and her paw touched the Magic Flower. Then, it glowed very very brightly! Then, all the animals got their powers back!
“WHAT?NOOOOOO!!!” yelled the hunter. “You know what? I ruined this forest once, AND I CANDOITAGAIN!”
“I don’t think so,” said Rosie with her eyes glowing very very very brightly. Then, Rosie used her power and blasted the hunter far, far away! And they never had to deal with a hunter ever again. :)
