The Adventures Of Connie The Travelling Coin

Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Deep in the icy cold dark night at McDonalds drive thru Connie the coin was going to her new home. Connie was being handed to Cecily the new manager when a car went honk! honk! and frightened Cecily and she dropped all the coins. Cecily then picked up all the coins but overlooked poor Connie who had rolled over under the deep fryer. Connie’s adventures were about to begin Connie was terrified she was lying face first underneath the deep
fryer. She stayed there for hours and hours on end. Later that night when the cleaner arrived she found Connie. The cleaner did the right thing and put her on the bench.
The next morning Cecily was cooking and flipping meat patty’s and got meat fat on poor Connie. She eventually saw Connie she had a great idea to put her on the shelf Connie could see everything up there. Meat fat dripped on Connie's face so she had to close her eyes. When the meat fat stopped dripping she opened one eye and there was another eye staring at her she opened her other eye and there was another eye staring at her she got butterflies in her stomach she squealed like watching a horror movie. They were extremely excited happy meals.
That night Connie saw a strange old man at the door she was not sure about him. Suddenly the man tip toed to the till. She also saw him bash the till aggressively with a metal rod. He took the money and went to flee but then he saw Connie and he said “that coin is going into my collection”. Connie’s heart sank. She was aggressively thrown into the burglar’s bag. In the bag Connie met another coin called Courtney she was so shiny you could see your
reflection in her. Connie and Courtney will miss Cecily but they hope they will go to a good home. They had lots of stories to share about where they were born since they were both born in the Australian Mint.
The coins then travelled to a house in the deep dark woods. There they heard a person running toward them “Grandpa Grandpa” said the young child named Billy “come and see my new room it has a new bed, lamp and a shiny new piggy bank” when they entered Billy’s room Grandpa pulled out his leather wallet and hands Connie and Courtney to Billy. He gives Billy a wink and said “that
will get you started Billy”. Connie and Courtney lived happily ever after and over the years they had lots of friends come to share their new home.
