Once Upon a Time

By Avani, 5F

Sally and Jack were two friends who studied in the same school. They were very good at history and wanted to know more about the Earth’s past. They studied many books but none of them seemed to provide accurate enough information. Therefore, they decided to discover more themselves.

Sally’s father was a scientist and had recently invented a time machine. Sally told Jack that they could travel back in time with the help of the time machine. Jack thought it was a brilliant idea. They agreed to meet sharp at midnight.

The clock struck midnight. Sally and Jack crept into Sally’s father’s invention lab and spotted the time machine.

It was very dark, gloomy and spooky. They silently turned on the light and started the time machine. Suddenly… a whizzing sound resonated from the machine and the machine started to spin.

The spinning finally stopped, and the kids got on. It started spinning again, and this time it wouldn’t stop. Sally and Jack shut their eyes tightly. Moments later, when they felt firm ground under their feet, they opened their eyes. Both of them gasped in surprise. They couldn’t believe where they were.

The time machine had disappeared, but Sally and Jack found themselves standing in a place where bright, pretty flowers were blooming, birds were happily chirping and bees were busily buzzing around. They were very happy and felt more peaceful as they started to enjoy the place more.

But suddenly, they heard a loud thud from about half a mile away, and when they went to see what it was, they spotted a crowd of people fighting fighting, screaming and hitting each other.

Sally and Jack wanted to do something about it because the people were harming each other. Women were hitting each other with tree branches and fists flew everywhere between the men. Boys were wrestling each other to the ground while the girls were out of everyone’s way, silently watching the fight unfold. Unable to hold it any longer, they kids started screaming for everyone to stop and tried to break everyone apart.

After forcing the mob of people to stop, Sally and Jack told them that harming the environment and each other like that is like harming themselves. To make sure fights like this never broke out again, the children decided to live there temporarily and fix the rules the people put out in their village.

They wanted to keep the world peaceful and beautiful before they got back to the present, and promised to make everything right for the villagers.
