The Magical Strawberries
By: Caitlin Cartwright
Yawn! I had just woke up from a good night's sleep and I was still tired! I knew my parents weren't home because they had to go to work. But my big brother and big sister were home. They always wake up late though.
I went into the kitchen to get some strawberries to eat for breakfast. Yum! I love strawberries!
I picked up the remote to turn on the T.V. in the living room to turn it on. I had just gotten done with the starwberries I had eaten. Before I knew it, I started to shrink!
Before I knew it I was the size of the strawberries I had eaten! What was going on? Why was I so small?
Everything was bigger than me! I fely like an ant! I started to walk around and look at everything from an ants prespective.
I walked by the bathroom, my dog's cage, and the fish tank. I was having fun being small!
I snuck into my brother's room to see what he was up to. He was up, but he was still laying in bed. I decided to play a trick on him. I got into the covers, and crawled all inside of them.
"Ahh! Ahh! There is something in my bed!" I hear my brother scream. At the sound of his voice, my sister runs into the room.
"What? What happened?"my sister asked. "There was something in my bed!"my brother yelled. "Let me look," my sister said harshly. I jumped off the bed, almost hurting myself, and hid under it until they were done looking. Then I scurried my way out into the kitchen.
When I got into the kitchen, I was feeling a little hungry. So, I ate some of the left over strawberries that were left on the counter. I had to get on a nearby chair and jump up on it to get on the counter though. All of a sudden, I started to grow! Before I knew it, I was back to my normal size!
My sister and my brother were fighting over the "thing" in the covers. Finally, my sister walked out of his room with an angry look on her face.
"Did you not hear him scream?" she asked. "Yes, I did. But I just ignored it," I said. She went back up to her room, still with an angry look on her face.
I was wondering what had made me change, and then I remembered! The strawberries! Once I ate them, I changed sizes! They must be magical strawberries!
I hid the strawberries in a place no one would find them and then headed upstairs. I would use them for another time!
