The Indus Valley Tunnel
Aadhya, 4F
Long ago, there lived a small ten-year old, beautiful girl named Julian. She lived in Harappa. Her father worked in a cotton mill and her mother was a housewife.
One day, she went out to play . After an hour, her friends started to leave for their homes and even she was coming back when she tripped. There was a rope where she fell down. She picked it up and pulled it hard, curious to know what the rope was doing there. There was a rumbling sound and a tunnel opened.
She was about to scream, but when she realized others would come and ask what had happened, and she would have no answer. She whispered to herself “Wow! What a tunnel. I think there’s treasure in there” So she went through the tunnel without even thinking once. She went deeper and deeper until she was stuck with water in front of her.
There was a mall boat at the bank .She said “I think I should go from here because this seems like the only way”. She sat in it and found spider webs on the edges of the boat.
“I think no one even knows about this tunnel. I’m the first one”. She started rowing when she found three passages. Now she was confused. She went a little further when she was blocked by a wall. She said “I think this is the wrong way”. When she turned around, there was another wall! She couldn’t find any way out. She sat down and cried “How will I ever get out of this tunnel?”
Suddenly someone appeared in front of her. It was like a girl. She said “Oh little girl, are you lost?” Julian was surprised but she answered “Ye-e-ss”. “Don’t worry! I can help you,” said the girl. “Oh really!” said Julian.
“I’m a worker. Myself Shadow. I am going to help you because I like you”. She pressed a button, and then a door opened. They went through it. They went through slippery corridors with slimy walls.
Finally, they reached the surface. Julian said “Thank you Shadow” and the girl disappeared. Her parents were very happy to see her and they all lived happily ever after.
