Darpan’s Mystery
Late in the day, in Juan’s $1000 house with fantastic friends are Darpan, Denzil, Devika, Tilak, Juan, Juan’s Mum and Juan’s Dad. In the white, clean kitchen we were eating yellow, small bananas with red, strawberry jam “yummy that is tasty” I said, chewing. Then we were playing handball in the green, shiny park until we went home. Then we bought cold, yummy ice cream and everyone wanted bubble-gum flavour. Then we went carefully, slowly back to the Juan’s $1000 house.

Suddenly we found a dark, scary magical door. Eventually Tilak went inside the dark, scary magical door and then it was locked. Then everyone sobbed “whaa whaa” I sobbed. “That was not it, there’s a yellow, dusty maze to get the key and unlock the dark, scary, magical door” yelled God. Here we go…. carefully, slowly and quietly. “No, we were so close!” I grunted.

“We did it!” called Denzil. Then we unlocked the dark, scary, magical door. “YAY” cried Juan. “Then we eat ice cream” called Denzil. Then we had pizza for dinner in the green, shiny park.
