A 15 Minute English Homework
« on: March 30, 2011, 03:32:26 pm »

Basically, it's a 15 minute English homework I had to do, we had to write an "exciting" story, about rendom subjects that were given to us. I got "Big Birthday". Tell me what you think!


Big Birthday

Once upon a time, there was a Big Birthday. Little Johnny Rafferty was turning 8 years old, and all his little friends were so excited that they all wanted to go!
Just before the party, Mrs. Rafferty was finishing her special cake for Little Johnny, it was big and green and had a big, bulging flower on it, which was bright blue.

All the boys and girls had a fun time, and soon, they were all tired and happy and ready to eat their cake. Little Johnny blew on the candles, and whoosh! The candle fell over onto the tablecloth! The tablecloth caught fire and the blazing inferno spread to the walls! OH NO! All the little boys and girls and Mrs. Rafferty ran out of the house, and some firemen greeted them, “We're very sorry about what happened, come with us to our special place, and we'll give you tea and biscuits and presents!

So, all the boys and girls and Mrs. Rafferty and the firemen went to the special place, a bright red building with bright red trucks, and bright red poles too!
But sadly, things like this don't always turn out happy, and the firemen pulled off their clever disguises, and turned out to be short, fat men with big, bright, black moustaches!

The biggest of the short, fat men said, while stroking his moustache “We're the evil villains, and we're going to keep you here, and rob you, and make your birthday sad! Mwahahaha!”, and he locked the door after taking Mrs. Rafferty's purse, with all the money that she was going to use for Little Johnny's big present!

Then, suddenly, the tall, thin Police Man came in, “I heard you had a villain robbing you, so I came to help!” he said. Mrs. Rafferty replied, “ They stole my purse, help me!”. So, the police man took all the boys and girls and Mrs. Rafferty and went to talk to the evil, short, fat little villains. “You have been very naughty! You bad, bad villains, I'll take you away and put all of you in the time out corner!”

The Police man took the villains and put them in boxes, put them in the time out corner and got a magician to turn them into rabbits, who got sent to zoos, for people to look at them and say, “Those were the naughty villains who made Little Johnny's birthday sad, let's laugh!”, and they all guffawed at the evil, short, fat little rabbits.

Then, a short while later, Little Johnny woke up to songs! “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Little Johnny, happy birthday to you!”
Little Johnny was very happy, when he realised... “WOW! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!”



And yes, you did read that right, the villains got turned into rabbits. Don't ask.

You want a bit of criticism? Can give you some. For once, why did Johnny have no idea it was his birthday after

Tis' a bit of inconsistency that makes me shiver quite a bit. Other than that, for homework and a 15 minute job it's a good one, even if a bit, eh, how should I say, not original.

That was the idea, it was meant to sound like one of those stories that are jokes, where the writer usually says stuff like, "and children hate it, because it's stupid" after it.
