Carlos -
The little ghost
by Gina Wille
There was once upon a time a castle, far away from New Zealand. But no human being would ever take the plunge to enter the castle. It is told that a ghost is living on the top of the tower for over 500 years.
The ghost was called “Carlos”. Carlos was a real ghost, who could fly and walk through walls. He was woken up every night when the clock struck twelve and he was haunting through the castle until the dawn. But Carlos felt really lonely and sad, because he had no one to talk to for over 500 years…
Carlos’s one and only dream was to see the world at daylight. He wanted to feel the warmth of the sun and see all the people and animals, who are sleeping when he is awake. But how can his dream become true?
One day, Carlos met a little spider, who heard him talking to himself. She said to him: “Don’t be so sad little ghost. I know a way how your dream can actually become true!” And so Carlos and the spider became friends and she told him her plan.
Early in the morning of the next day, the spider went quickly to the old clock in the hallway and turned the big clock hand at twelve. DONG, DONG, DONG‌! Carlos was woken up by the loud twelve beats of the clock like every night, except that is was morning this time...
Carlos was overwhelmed by the beauty of the day. Everything looked different in daylight. He heard the singing of the birds for the first time and he could watch all the people and animals who became active after sunrise. Carlos was so happy that his dream finally became true!!!
And if you keep believing in your dreams, they will become true one day as well!
The End
Once upon a time, there was an incredible ice dragon from Iceland named Isaac. He lived up in the snowy mountains. Sadly he was feeling horribly lonely, because there were no other ice dragons. For years, he was flying around Iceland, hoping to find someone like him.
Further down south in France lived the fierce fire dragon Frank. He was looking for an adventure, so he decided to leave and fly to as many places as possible.
Isaac had almost given up hope of finding another dragon, so he left Iceland to try his luck elsewhere‌
For years they both travelled all over the world, though they never crossed each other’s path. Frank was excited, exploring and seeing new places.
But oh, poor Isaac was very depressed. For years and years, he had already searched, without ever meeting anyone. he was about to give up, when he looked into the night sky and saw the moon…he thought he’d check this one last place.
Around the same time, Frank felt like he had seen most of the world. He still wanted more, so he left earth in search of other places…
Isaac the incredible ice dragon from Iceland set foot on the right side of the moon, whilst Frank the fierce fire dragon from France landed on the left side. Coincidentally, they both walked towards the top‌
When they saw one another, they were ecstatic! Isaac had never imagined finding a dragon as fiery as frank. and frank’s heart stopped for a moment as he for the first time felt a chill run down his back. In their excitement, they started to run towards each other‌
But the moment they met, something went wrong. The fire melted the ice, and the ice extinguished the fire‌isaac and frank evaporated into‌
‌rain.
The little big tree
Bianca Meske
Once upon a time there was a lonely seed in the prairie. One hot, sunny day a little tree came out. He was very tiny and thin. The little tree saw nothing around itself so it felt very, very lonely.
The little tree started to grow. He could see animals and other, big trees in the far distance. Hey, you there, do you want to accompany me?
But the animals went away.
It started to rain. Haha, you tiny tree, you are so little, no one wants to be with you!
And the rain got stronger and stronger, and the little tree had to fight to stand upright. When the rain stopped he was exhausted.
He thought:
I am too tiny, I have to grow!
And he took the water and drank it and he felt his strength coming back.
And he grew‌
He could see animals and other, big trees in the far distance. Hey, you there, do you want to accompany me?
But the animals went away.
The wind started to blow. Haha, you tiny tree, you are so little, no one wants to be with you!
And the wind got stronger and stronger, and the little tree had to fight to stand upright. When the wind stopped he was exhausted.
He thought:
I am too tiny, I have to grow!
And he took the wind and stretched himself and he felt his strength coming back.
And he grew‌
He could see animals and other, big trees in the far distance. Hey, you there, do you want to accompany me?
And a gazelle heard him and came. But‌
Haha, you tiny tree, you are so little, you cannot protect yourself!
And the gazelle ate his green fresh leaves. When the gazelle stopped he had nearly no leaves. The little tree was exhausted.
Now he had a lot of energy over because he didn’t have to feed so many leaves anymore. He thought:
I am too tiny, I have to grow!
And he took the energy and fed himself and he felt his strength coming back.
And he grew‌

And an elephant heard him and came. But‌

Now he had a lot of energy left over because he didn’t have to feed so many leaves anymore. He thought:

And a giraffe heard him and came. But‌

And he took the energy and fed himself and he felt his strength coming back.
And he grew‌
One day, there was a storm. It was a storm so strong like never before. But the tree was so strong like never before too. Unfortunately, the animals weren’t. They had to fight to stay upright. When they saw the big strong tree they asked him: You are so strong, you don’t have to fight, can you protect us from the storm?
What did the tree say? The big strong tree said: Yes, I can. Because now I am a strong tree who can protect himself. And now I am also a big tree with friends.
And the now big and strong tree protected all the animals that laughed about him. From that moment on they were friends and no one laughed about the other.
Ally The Alien
Day 1 Ally decided to go on vacation to the earth. All his friends came to say goodbye to him. And so his adventure started.
Ally was really excited to go to the earth! He loved to go travelling.
Day 2 Ally landed on the earth.
He was in the mettle of many skyscrapers! The alien was afraid, he was really afraid, because he has never seen human before.
Ally felt very confused because everyone looked at him and took photos. There were so many human, cars and houses! He wanted to go out of here as fast as possible! Big cities are nothing for him, maybe tomorrow will be better.
Day 3 At the third day, Ally arrived in a huge dessert. It was really hot and he couldn’t see anyone else!
Suddenly there appeared a scorpion. He knew that these creatures are poison. The scorpion attacks him. Ally made him smaller to advocate himself.
After a while he won the fight and his enemy run away. He decided the dessert isn’t a place for him either.
Day 4
Today Ally is going to the rainforest. After he stepped out of his UFO, and he thought it’s a very beautiful place. Suddenly he heard a roooaarrr. He turned around and there was a TIGER!!!
The started running away Ally made him smaller again to hide under a big root. After the tiger was away he made himself big again.
When he was in his normal size again, he started looking for his UFO but he couldn’t find it! He started walking around randomly. On his way he saw many beautiful animals.
After a while Ally found his UFO again, what luck!
Day 5 Today, he loved to go in the underground. Ally made himself and the UFO smaller again, to land in the garden of a human.
The alien grub himself under the ground And there he met a worm.
They get friends and the worm showed him his home. It was pretty cool but also very dark‌ After a couple of teas Ally said thank you and left his home.
He decided he couldn’t live under the ground. It’s too dark and wet for him.
Day 6 At the last day on the earth, he’s going to Antarctica. It was really hard for him to land because everything was frozen. Finally he found a spot to land full of snow.
Suddenly there came a few penguins. They wanted to show him whole Antarctica. They made a race with him on their tummy. It was really much fun!!! He really liked Antarctica but he couldn’t live here because it’s too cold and icy.
Day 7
After one week on the earth, Ally realized that his home planet was the best place for him to live. At the same day he flew back to the Mars. From now on he loved his planet!
This is Tommy the chippie. He was born in a frying pan with lots of siblings.
Tommy’s biggest wish is to be healthy. Especially when he sees all the healthy veggies.
He wants to be like the cool carrot or the beautiful broccoli.
Being eaten as a chippie is not an option at all for him. So off he goes and runs away!
Where should he go? Maybe to town. But wrongly a garbage collector throws him into the rubbish bin with all the rubbish lying around him!
noooo!
He climbs out the rubbish, that’s not the right place for him. Where should he go? Maybe to the Park, resting on a bench. But apparently today is not Tommy’s best day. A middle aged man has the same idea and sits on Tommy! ooops!
Tommy breaks free. Where should he go? Maybe in the forest. He meets an owl that really likes eating chippie! He runs as fast as he can and is safe under a root of a tree.
Where should he go? Maybe to the lake. splash! Tommy jumps into the wet coolness. But he’s getting soggier and soggier. That’s not nice.
So out again and drying in the sun. Suddenly Tommy sees something he has never seen before! A red girl who introduces herself as Katja Ketchup. They’re spending the afternoon together.
They Tommy and Katja love running around and laughing all day long! that? It looks like magic!
bliiiing!
But what is
Tommy is not looking like a chippie anymore and Katja not like a Ketchup! What are they?
They are Potato and Tomato!
They’re healthy now. As they realize this they’re really happy.
So they lived happily ever after, playing on the grass.
The End.
