One night I was reading my favourite book when suddenly a hand stretched out and pulled me in. But I didn’t feel scared because it was my favourite book.
In the book I was a guy called Mikey and I was turning 100 years old. I did not want to turn 100 so I climbed out the window. Quickly I got on a bus and sat next to this guy with a suit case that was very big. Then he said, “Could you mind my suitcase? I have to go to the toilet.” But I did not give it back to him, so I just got on the bus and stayed in a hotel and when I opened the very big suitcase… there was $1, 000, 000 and I was astounded!
Suddenly I realised that the $1,000,000 had belonged to the queen and the guy on the bus was a robber! Unexpectedly I heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door it was the guy from on the bus and the worst part was he had a weapon! Luckily I knew juijitsu so I broke his arm.
I quickly tried to get to the nearest train station. He got on the same train but before the doors closed I quickly got off. My plan wasn’t to really go on the train because there was a police station next to the train station.
The police returned the suitcase to the Queen and she was really happy to have her $1,000,000 back. She gave me half of it as a reward! I definitely lived happily ever after!
