Maddy and Macy were poor,very poor. They lived, with their family, in a small apartment in New York which was old and dirty, and they hated it. One day they all decided to have a picnic in the park to spend some time out of their awful house, but they didn't know where to have to have a picnic. The whole family started planning . There was a lot of talking and laughing.After they all finished discussing, Maddy and Macy went back to their room. They saw a peaceful park from their large, dirty window. Flowers were blooming, old trees were healthy,and it was the perfect place to have a picnic. They were dying to go to the park because they loved adventures and the park was very peaceful and exciting. Maddy and Macy dashed off as fast as lighting, to tell their mum about the park. Right away, they took their mum to their room to show her the the beautiful, colourful park from their window. Macy exclaimed “Lets have a lovely little picnic in the park. Maybe we could even build treehouses! I mean, it would be so awesome!� So they all got ready to go to the park.

On reaching the park ,the first thing they all did was to have a snack , which was a delicious fruit salad . After they all finished gobbling down all the salad, Maddy and Macy asked their parents if they could explore the park alone. Their parents nodded and smiled. The sisters held hands and skipped around the park. While they were wondering, they came across an unusual door,it was wooden, with dead vines and, strange little golden butterflies fluttering around it. They slowly tiptoed to the unusual door, wondering, “ What was inside the door? Where could it lead them to? The sign on the door said “Don’t You Dare Enter”. Maddy and Macy were too curious to notice the sign as they were very excited about the adventure they could be going on. Gently they pushed open the door. It creaked wide open, like a mad frog, that couldn’t croak anymore. Maddy and Macy slowly crept through, arriving in a tiny room. They screamed in delight when they saw that it was filled with shining jewels. They could not take their eyes off the amazing display, and finally, unable to hold for any longer, Maddy picked up a sparkling ruby. Suddenly she fell to the floor. Macy screamed in fear, but even being in such a small room, her voice echoed till it was like a echoey whisper.

She quickly knelt beside her sister, checking her breathing. “Come on, wake up! Whats wrong ? Don’t you ever want to play with me again?” Macy burst into tears as she could not believe that her sister had died so suddenly . After a while she calmed down, and tried to open the door, but it was locked. “You cannot open the door without tools, but be smart.” said a voice from behind . She recognised it! It was Maddy! Macy turned around, and saw that her sister was floating in the air, filled with sparkles all around her transparent body. “Good luck, Macy.” With those last words, Maddy’s lifeless body fell to the floor .Macy’s sadness came back. That moment had meant so much to her. And now it was gone.
Macy searched her pockets, for her phone. She wondered how late it was. When she couldn’t find her phone, she decided to use her sister’s advice. The only problem was that Macy was not smart. She prefered sports to maths. She prefered art to literacy. Macy knew she couldn’t do anything. She had lost everything she had ever loved.

“Ummm”.She couldn’t think. Macy looked around the rusty room. Something caught her attention. It was in the middle of the sparkling jewels. It was a pile of metal scraps. Suddenly it occurred to her that she could put them together to make something to pick the lock! Quickly, Macy’s strong small hands put together the scraps easily. She carefully fitted the finished product into the lock...and twisted it. Soon she was able to pick the lock and door opened. She started crying, out of joy and relief. Macy ran back into the park, straight to her where they had
had a picnic. It was all empty and no one was there. Then she suddenly got some flashes of memories she never had before. Then she decided to go back to her house and when she arrived her parents were very surprised and excited to have her back home. She realized why her parents were surprised to see her,it was because she had come back after a very long time. She noticed that she had changed. Everything had changed.
