The Four Heroes who Saved the Golden Bird
A Short Story by Estelita, Standard 5

3/3/11

One day there were four friends that decided to go on a trip alone. The four friends’ names were Annie, Jack, Wendy, and Ryan. They said, “Let’s pack and go to the Netherlands,” so they traveled there.

When they go there at night, they turned on their flashlights and saw a wicked witch. The four friends go scared. They wanted to shout. When morning came, the four friends woke up so terrified.

Then one morning they went for a walk. When they went to walk, they heard something pass by quickly. Then they saw a light shining towards them. Annie, Jack, Wendy, and Ryan went to see it: it was a golden good luck bird.

“Oh no,” said Annie, Jack, Wendy, and Ryan because they saw a monster stealing the golden bird. Annie and Ryan had a good idea. They would give the monster apples and bananas because the monster always sang about how much he liked apples and bananas. Once they gave him the food, the monster left the golden bird alone and ate his bananas and apples. The monster sang its song all the way home to his cave.

At last they could have a picnic and a campfire. Annie, Jack, Wendy, and Ryan were happy because the monster did not take the good luck golden bird. Then they went back home and told all of their family about their good adventure. They told everyone in Coracol that the four friends, Annie, Jack, Wendy, and Ryan, went on an adventure to the Netherlands. The four friends were so happy that they go to visit a place that they had never been to before.
