**__A Day at the Beach__ **
“Well here we are” said mum. I looked out the window at the long gold strait of sand and the water was shining like crystals. To be honest it looked like the heavens. Dad got the picnic basket out of the car and put it down on the soft green grass. A little formation of water droplets was on the grass. “Look at the morning dew, it looks like somebody has dropped a bag full of diamonds” said mum. I helped dad put the blanket on the grass, mum was taking out the food and putting it on the blanket. There was: bananas, shortbread, chocolate cake, pizza, salad sandwiches, lollies, Sunkist, coke, wine, water and soda.

I got out my book and started reading it. It was about a cheeky monkey that lived at the beach. He lived in a cave somewhere, but nobody had found it. I hoped that I would find it. As I read about the monkey; it said that it had a baboon’s butt, a flat nose and one ear and it could smell water five miles away. While I was deeply engaged in my book, I heard a rustling sound in the bushes. I put down my book and walked over to the bushes to see what it was. I looked at the creature in the bushes. I screamed and screamed and screamed. The creature had a baboon’s butt, a flat nose and one ear. I fell over backwards, onto the sand, on my bum. Boy it was hurting!

The creature jumped out of the bushes and landed on top of me! It hugged me; I looked at its face it looked like it was smiling at me. “Shoo get off me” I yelled at the monkey. It gave me a funny look and then scampered away. I walked back to my mum and dad. “Where have you been?” Yelled my mum. I explained to mum what had happened, when I had finished telling her she gave me a weird look and walked away to get dad a drink. “It’s true” I started to say but mum wasn’t listening to me. I decided to go down to the beach for a while.

When I got there, I took off my thongs and dragged my feet along the ground and let the sand get in-between my toes. I sat down on the sand to relax for a while. I had a dream about a monkey trying to eat me. When I woke up something was licking my face. I opened my eyes and looked at the thing that was licking me. As soon as I saw it, I quickly pushed it off me; my fingers went into the fur of the animal.

When I got back, mum and dad were sitting in the car shaking as if they just saw a vampire sucking someone’s blood “What’s the matter with you two” I said. I hopped in the car and mum told me what happened.

“When you were having snooze on the sand a couple of minutes ago, a monkey with a baboon’s butt, one ear and a flat nose jumped on top of me and took all the food from the basket. It ran into the jungle making a weird noise”.

I opened the car door and got out. I thought to myself, how will I got the food back. I looked at the humongous jungle looming over me and started to walk towards the dark, dead, cold creepy jungle. My feet crunched on the leaves as I walked in through the jungle. As I walked deeper and deeper into the heart of the jungle all sounds of the sea are blocked away. I could hear the sounds of screeching and scrawling in the distance. I started to get a little bit scared (well you would probably be a little bit too.) I started to get restless as I walk deeper into the jungle but then something lifts my heart. It’s the crackling sound of a camp fire. I started to run faster and faster and faster towards the sound of the camp fire. I fell over a root as I was running and landed on my face! I got up and dusted myself off. If any of the kids from school saw me fall over they would be laughing so badly that they would probably wet their pants! 

When I finished dusting myself off I got up and remembered what I was doing. I started to walk away out of the jungle and I thought to myself why does the monkey animal thing live in Australia? As I was pondering about the monkey I felt something breathe on the back of my neck I freeze in my tracks and don’t move hopping that whatever the thing was behind me will go away nicely and just leave me alone. As I walked it almost felt as if the thing was still breathing on my neck. I heard some leaves crackle behind me I quickly turned around hoping to see what was there. I looked all around me but I couldn't see anything out there. As I walked on and on and on and on I start to get a little bit dizzy. I fell over sideways and groaned as I hit the ground. I couldn't get up for some odd reason. I don’t know how long I was lying there for; it must have been a few minutes or so and when I opened my eyes there was a strange guy looking at me.

The guy was holding a spear in one hand and in the other hand was a strange fruit thing which looked like a chili and a pear combined into one funny looking fruit. “Stand up now boy. Stand up and show your braveness to the whole jungle.”

I quickly stood up and said to him “Yes sir.” He looked satisfied “Now boy. Why are you here?” he said. “I am here to get my picnic basket” I said with a frog in my throat.

“Who took your basket boy?” he said in a loud voice. "There was this funny looking monkey thing that took it sir. It ran away into the jungle with it sir.” I spoke in a quivering voice. “Well in that case I should give you this fruit then” he said. “What is it sir?" I say with a trembling voice. "It is for the unexpected magic charm boy. You see, the unexpected magic charm is a potion that turns you into whatever you want if you think it. If you think about a mouse, just take a bite of it and puff you’re turned into a mouse!!! But take my advice boy. You see one bite only lasts for forty-five minutes!” he said.
