"Got you!" I said while playing tag with my friends at school. It was a cold and rainy day. I disliked cold, rainy and windy days, but on that day, I noticed something unusual near the playground. I said to my friends, "Can you all wait here for me? I'll be back in a minute." Everyone agreed. I ran to the unusual thing which was a flashing rock. When I picked it up, there was a button underneath it. It said, "Press Me"!
I pressed it, and a door appeared in front of me! I opened the door and stepped in. It was ice age! The wind was howling. I wanted to go back but it was too late. The door had closed and had disappeared. In its place there stood an ice wall. There was a message on it. It said, "When you get to the icy hill, you will find another flashing rock". I wondered if it was going to be a long trip ahead. So, I decided to get going. On the way, I stumbled on a mammoth grave. I went for a slide down its spine and landed on an icy hill. There was a flashing rock right under my feet. I found another button under it and pressed it. The door appeared again right in front of me!
I opened the door and saw a room filled with different things. There was a message which said, "Choose 3 gifts". I chose a hat, charm
bracelet and a pair of glowing shoes. When I wore the hat, I suddenly found myself in a jungle! There were so many vines hanging from the trees. I started swinging on them and felt like Tarzan! I had such an adventure in the jungle. It was time to try out the charm bracelet. There were a pair of eyes and a mouth charm on it. The mouth spoke "What do you see?" The eyes answered, "I see the high seas". Immediately I turned into a pirate with an eye patch and riding the waves on a surfboard. A dolphin, a jelly fish, an octopus, a sting ray and a smiling shark were all riding the wave with me! It was time for the glowing shoes.
As soon as I reached the shore, I put on the glowing shoes. Straight away, I found·myself at school, near the playground. My friends came running to me asking "where have you been?" As I got drenched at the high seas, they thought I got soaked in the rain. I had a magical adventure on that rainy day!
