"I love summer in Australia" Lila Exclaimed
"Me To" Ella Yelled across the lawn
"Me three," shouted Zoe
"Dinner Time" Mum yelled from Inside
"DINNER" The three young girls shouted as they ran inside
(At the dinner table)
Its Christmas eve and there are three little girls just waiting for Santa to come. Zoe being the youngest asked if they had ever seen Santa.
"ha ha" Ella and Lila Laughed at her as if she was joking.
"No-one has ever seen Santa" Ella laughed.
" Yea he won't come if you are awake" Lila Replied
"Then we will be the first" Zoe Cried "
"YES" Ella and Lila screamed in Excitement
"Oh No" Mum Sighed silently
"Alright of to bed all of you" Mum told the girls
(They left the table and giggled all night)
Lila being the oldest went and checked if Mum was awake then she told the others.
"She's Asleep" Lila Whispered
They all tipped-toed to the living room
"What if Santa doesn't come" Zoe whispered in worry
" Well let's find out" Lila Whispered back
(That whispered for hours)
JINGLE JINGLE
"WHAT WAS THAT" Ella Cried
"SHHH" Zoe yelled
"It's Santa" Lila whispered in disbelief
"You're kidding me were only doing this for Zoe we know he's not real" Whispered Ella in Shock of what her sister said
"No that's Santa right there" Lila Cried in fear.
"O My God SANTA" Zoe Screamed
"Not again" Santa Sighed
"Does this mean that there's that there's an Easter Bunny" Ella cried in Disbelief
They girls were shocked in the sight of Santa... But Santa ruined the excitement in a second when
He spoke" I will give you double the presents if you don't tell you parents or anyone on that note"
"Santa why don't you want people to know you existed you know my neighbour says you not real" Zoe sadly told him
"Because then people would stop caring and they would be no Christmas" Santa spoke with wisdom
"NO CHRISTMAS" They all Shouted
" Sorry Girls but I can't ok ask me one thing you have always wanted, and I'll give it to you for Christmas" Santa Said in hope
"Anything" Ella Said in Greed
