It was in a place called Kempington was where it all happened. Helen, Toby and Alex were all brothers and sisters and they all had different personalities. Toby was the youngest of them. Nobody ever paid any attention to him, so most of the time he thought he was invisible. The next oldest was Helen. She always thought she was really smart and could work out anything when she couldn't. The oldest sibling was Alex. He always thought he could do anything and often had dreams about him fighting lions and bears when in reality he obviously couldn't. One cold day in spring, Helen, Toby and Alex were digging in a wood for a school project about the environment, as they usually did. After about half an hour they were digging and they came across something. Helen picked it up carefully. "Look what I have found, boys!" shouted Helen. The boys came running from where they were digging.
"What is it, what is it?" asked Toby, jumping up and down. The other two ignored him as usual.
"What is it?" asked Alex curiously.
"It is a book of spells in a bag, durbrain!" replied Helen. "And probably isn't even real." muttered Helen.
"Well, you don't know until you try one." quoted Alex.
"Okay then, Branch of tree and bank of stream, Turn the youngest into what he seems!" read Helen.
Suddenly Toby turned invisible....ΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύ
"Where is Toby?" Alex whispered. They both looked around.
"I don't know, he must have run off. Or that would mean that the spell would have worked!" replied Helen, looking astonished.
Alex and Helen were really surprised. Helen decided to read another spell out of the spell book to see if it would bring Toby back.
"Eye of toad and drop of kind, seal the oldest into their mind!" she read.
Suddenly Alex disappeared....
"Oh no," cried Helen," now Alex has disappeared as well as Toby, what am I going to do?"
Soon after, Helen decided to read another spell although she knew it wasn't going to help get Alex and Toby back.
"Hand of clock and buzz of bee, turn the reader into the thing she wants to be!" Helen read. The next thing she knew, she was standing in a jail cell in what looked like a robotic age. Soon after she heard a robotic voice saying:
"You have trespassed into this city. The only way out is to solve all one hundred of these sums!" Helen was scared. She always thought she could solve anything but when she looked at the amount she had to solve, she thought she was going to be in that cell forever. A minute later she decided to get stuck in. Meanwhile, Alex had landed in a jungle, but this wasn't any normal jungle. A tribe called the comenians and they liked to make everybody's life a misery and especially people who landed out of no where. Alex was lying on the ground in a pile of golden leaves; he closed his eyes for a minute. When he opened them he saw a comenian standing over him, then some more appeared. The next thing he knew, he was being dragged off to a secret cave. "Oh no!" cried Alex.
Meanwhile, Toby had turned invisible. He wandered through town wondering why people couldn't see him and where his brother and sister were.
"Hello, can anyone see me?" shouted Toby. No one replied, He sat down on a near-by bench and started to cry. Suddenly a there was long hissing sound, Toby looked up. In front of him was the longest, most ferocious snake he had ever seen and he knew that only he could see it. He backed up against the town hall wall.... Meanwhile, Alex was still trapped by the comenians who were keeping him in the cave. They started talking in a weird language, they then translated it as:
"We have come to a decision. We have decided that we will only let you go if you are able to fight a lion and then a bear in under ten minutes!" explained the leader.
Alex gulped loudly.... Meanwhile, Helen was sitting in the jail cell she had been put in earlier. She had done twenty sums already and was beginning to get stuck in. Her brain was hurting and she had a headache. Her hands were aching and she felt like she could do no more, but she was determined to finish the sums. Suddenly a half man, half horse came galloping out of nowhere. It swung Toby onto its back, flung a sword out of its saddle and pierced it though the snake’s body, it killed it in an instant. Toby was astonished. "Hello, I'm Trifford," introduced the creature," I have been summoned to rescue you and your siblings. Hold on tight, first we are going to rescue Alex." and off they went.
The comenians still held Alex. Alex was tied up next to a rock. He peered around the cave, and searched along the walls. He was looking for something, an indication to where he might be. Suddenly Trifford and Toby appeared out of thin air to right before his eyes. Toby jumped off of Trifford and started untying Alex. All Alex could do was stare at Trifford. "Long story," explained Toby, "now come on, we need to save Helen!" Alex jumped onto Trifford and they disappeared. By now, Helen was on her fiftieth sum and had a really bad headache. Again, Toby, Alex and Trifford had appeared outside her jail cell. Alex found a key on the floor, picked it up, and opened the jail door. "Come on, jump onto Trifford. He's gonna take us home." explained Alex. Helen didn't say anything, she just jumped onto Trifford. When she was on, they disappeared and soon after, arrived back at their home. "Thank you Trifford." the children exclaimed, but he was already gone so they ran into their house to find their parents. |
