A long long time ago, there was a boy named James. He was a normal boy, like others, he went to school and played sports, he had a lot of friends that he could play cricket with. But, one lucky night while he was going home he met a wizard, he wasn't a normal and friendly wizard. "So, what’s your name little boy? asked the wizard. "James," replied the boy. So the wizard took James to his house, the wizard had a big surprise for James. "Here you go James," friendly said the wizard. "Wow!" happily said James. It is a time machine 3000! James got in the time machine. "Beep beep, arriving at 1678 in London," said the time machine. So, James arrived in 1678. "It is so creepy," frighteningly said James. London was so old and on his left there is a war going on and on the right, warriors were breaking the Big Ben. James didn't like that, and he got to 1950. Up and up went the time machine. "Wow I feel nice," said James Brown. James looked around, well it was kind of good, but it's very confusing. Meanwhile James time travelled to 1999... "Boom!"... The time machine landed. "This looks better, no war, no confusing," happily said James. While he was walking around the town, he got a message. “You need to teleport in 3 minutes,” but James didn't remember where he left the time machine. "Oh no!" cried James. But luckily he stepped in a ball. "Choose your destination," said the ball. James wrote 2018 so, he arrived at home. "I feel sick!” sickly said James. “It was all a dream James,” said his mum. So, James lived sickly ever after.
