Night Zookeeper- Writing post Term 3

I shrunk my kids!!

One sunny afternoon I told my kids to play outside with Coco their dog.

 “Ok dad,” said Arama. “Ok.” said Nadia. “Ok,’” said James.

So they went outside to play with their dog Coco. They played tag with Coco. They played ‘hide- and- go- seek’ with Coco; they played baseball with Coco. Then they said to Coco, “We are going to play two more games with you Coco.”

Mum called to Arama, Nadia and James to come in for lunch. “Come on in, we are having roasted hot dogs.” “What?”said Arama, “Not real dogs, that's just what we call it.”

As we finish our lunch suddenly there’s a crash! Boom! Bang! And a Kaboom!

The kids rush up the stairs like lightning bolts and said, “Dad! What are you doing?” But dad couldn't hear them. So they tapped dad on the shoulder and said to dad, “What are you doing? We heard a bang! Boom! Crash! And Kaboom! So what were you doing? We thought you were dead.” “No silly children, I was just working on my new project, it's called the ray gun mark two.”

The children were astonished, then Arama pressed the button and shrunk the kids. Arama excluded himself and the children were so scared that they jumped into the garden. When Arama, Nadia and James were worn out Nadia cried. Arama said, “Don't cry, its ok. Dad and mum will find us.”

Dad called to mum. Mum ran like Usain Bolt. Dad was astonished, but he said, “Mum I shrunk the kids!”

“What!?” mum said, “You shrunk the kids!” “It’s not my fault,” said dad,” Arama was the one who pressed the trigger.”

Mum said nothing. Then mum decided to say, “We have to reverse the action, on the mark to the ray gun.”

“What!” dad said, “That will take 1 day to reverse the action, so the kids will have to survive the day? They can do it, they've all been to camp before.”

The kids were scared but James said to Arama and Nadia, “We will make a tent for the night.”  

The three kids made it through the night and mum and dad finished reversing the switch on the mark two ray gun. They couldn't find the kids in the garden, so they were just going to give up when the kids where on the table and dad quickly shot the gun. In a flash of light the kids were big again, but too big!! Arama was 2 metres tall, Nadia was 3 metres tall and James was 1.9 metres tall. “Well we will just have to leave them the size they are, said dad.” Yeah! said the kids, they were happy.

The End.
