Adam and the Beast

by Adam Broderick

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Adam who lived in a big house in a big town. One morning Adam was very excited to go to school as it was the day of the school tour to the local playground. When Adam arrived at school he got on the bus and sat beside his friend Nathan. After a short time, they arrived at the playground and got off the bus excitedly. They started playing soccer and the ball rolled behind a tall green bush and Adam ran in after to get it.

After a few seconds, Nathan was waiting for Adam and started to get worried. Nathan told the teacher and the class that Adam was missing and they all started looking for him. Finally, the teacher found Adam in the large green bush searching for the ball. Adam looked very pale as if he had just seen something very scary. The teacher asked him was he ok and he started to explain to the teacher that he had just found a weird creature. The teacher didn’t believe Adam and said ‘we must leave now Adam; the bus is waiting’.

When Adam got home that day, his mom was very angry as the teacher had told her that he had ran off. Adam’s mom told him to go to his room and think about what he had done. When he got upstairs, he opened his schoolbag and out popped a brown creature with blue-spikes about the size of a football. Adam quietly took the creature out from the bag and hid him under his quilt for the night.

The next morning Adam brought the creature secretly to school. When he sat down in the classroom, he whispered to Nathan that he found a strange creature and that he had it in his schoolbag. Nathan peeped secretly into the schoolbag and couldn’t believe his eyes. The teacher shouted Nathan’s name and Nathan suddenly dropped the creature. The creature escaped the classroom but no one saw him leave. Nathan and Adam looked at each other with worried faces. What would they do now?
