Kaleb’s Travels

One night I was sleeping and I heard some noises; they were so loud that they woke me up - I wasn't very happy! I got out of bed and followed the sound. It lead to the porch out the back where my toy cars were sitting on the floor. I saw some really little squares of paper and they had either red or black dots on them. I looked a bit closer and I noticed the squares of paper were tiny playing cards. My toy cars were playing cards with their wheels poking out so they could move the cards!

One day I was out in the back garden of my house playing with my Captain Jack toy, which is a plastic figure of Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I suddenly felt very hungry, so hungry that I grabbed a leaf off the nearest tree and ate it, because I was too distracted playing my game to think about going to the kitchen which was all the way around the other side of the house. I closed my eyes while I was chewing and then there was a funny feeling in my body. When I opened my eyes and looked back at Captain Jack he was much bigger than before.

One day I went to buy a mask that I really liked the look of. I went to the market on Sunday I had my 18 dollars in my pocket from my allowance. I got to the market and ran into the shop at the end of the hall. I got to the counter and I could see the mask hanging on the wall. It was of a tiger's face and I liked it because I am a tiger in the Chinese zodiac. The owner came out and asked what I wanted (he was very rude). I said, "I would like that tiger mask". He grumbled "You can't have it, it's not for sale".

I was very sad about what he said because I really wanted the mask.

One night I woke up in the middle of the night and it was raining, I could hear the rain hitting at the kitchen roof really hard. I tried to go back to sleep but it was too loud. I got up and shut my door but it was no use it was still too loud so I went outside and tried to get over to the grass without getting too wet, to see how far away the storm was.

One day I was reading a book about an alien. It was a very funny book. The first page had a picture of the alien's flying saucer . I thought that the picture looked a lot like my toy flying saucer that a bought in London. When I finished the book I went into my room and to play with my toy flying saucer. My flying saucer is yellow and orange, and it can actually fly. It uses a propellor and a remote control, and you have to be careful with it outside, because it can go really high, even over the fence.

One day I was riding to school and I saw a storyteller and he was telling a story. I went over and listened, he was talking about an enormous cactus that had an itch. “He jumped up and down and all around trying to scratch the itch, the itch on his foot so bad. When he got to it the itching was gone and he was mangled like a tooth past tube. He is the toothpaste in my bathroom. We got him repaired and got him a home in Paris. When we saw him again he was in a good mood. He was happy where he was in the wilery log . In fact he was happy because all of the people were cacti.

One night I had a nightmare.

In this bad dream my mum called the emergency room at the hospital because I had turned into a prawn.

When we got to the emergency room everyone started screaming because there was a huge talking prawn on a stretcher. We got to the doctor’s office and she got started with the explaining. “He was diving with his father and apparently he swam up to a prawn and just turned into one himself. His father fainted and sank, because he’d just seen his son turn into... this... this thing,” said my mother.

On Sunday morning I went outside to look at the flowers to check if there were any new ones on the bush. While I was outside I decided to sit in the new BIG hammock that we bought on Friday and put up yesterday. I got in there and at first it was fine because I was sitting in the hammock swinging and having fun. BUT…
