UNDERWATER DISASTER

The sun was rising above the sea. The animals were waking up. Bang. “Ow” said Sally.” I banged my head”. “Get over it” said Eliza. “What would you like for breakfast?” “Nothing” replied Sally.”OK”. “You’re going to get as hungry as a lost kitten”.” I’m going to get some coral” said Eliza. She returned with some white coral and a magazine. At 10:00am a huge ship sailed above them. It got as dark as the night sky. “What was that?” asked Flippy. “I don’t know” said Curly. “I got as scared as a mouse” said Flippy. Then Aliana swims by. “Did you see that?” asked Curly. “See what?. ”A huge ship”.” No” said Aliana. “Is it just me or is something shaking?” said Snappy. “It’s just” She paused. There was something shaking. “It seems like the sea is trying to tell us something” said Aliana. “The sea can’t talk” said Snappy. “That’s true” said Flippy. Crack. “Oh no” said Sally. “What’s going on?” said Eliza. “Our home is,is,is,um, Breaking”.

“It can’t be” said Eliza. Their home was breaking into lots of little pieces. Some are as small as a crumb and others are as small as a snail shell.” We must leave” “said Flippy. “NOW”. Crack. Smash. Bang. Boom. Thud . Crash. “Quick” said Eliza. “We need to move”. “Hurry up”. “Wait up you guys are to fast” said Sally. “We are not” said Snappy. “You’re as fast as lightning”. At 1:00pm Eliza’s tail hurt. We stopped for lunch. “Hey”. “Why don’t we stay here?” said Eliza. “Here seems like a great spot” said Sally. “I don’t like it here” said Flippy. ‘I like our other home better”. “Everyone does” replied Mr Snail. “Let’s unpack” Said Aliana. “OK” replied Flippy. “My bed is as hard as a rock”. “So is mine” said Mr Snail. “Infact mine is as hard as a pointy rock”. “All right”. “That’s enough” said Curly. “We will love our home soon, I promise. It was getting dark and the animals were starting to fall asleep. The next morning they woke up and forgot they had moved. They carried on with a normal day. They did the housework, the washing and the ironing. They didn’t even moan about their beds. They had settled into their new home already.
