The train journey to the land of Latte

Once upon a time, in the land of Latte there was a big yellow mountain with quaver tree with tasty curly leafs that you can pick up and eat when you hungry, there was an old steam train puffing and chugging up and around the mountain to the two snowy top peak, carrying passengers. There were GG the ginger bread girl, Billy the goat, two little pigs, three ugly ducklings and a granny goose in the first carriage of the train. Billy the goat is trying to scary the ginger bread girl, GG about the nasty monster with fire breathe and sharp claws.
Billy tells GG, that the monsters breathe smell of rotten fish and that he does rotten egg trumps. When you smell either of these, you can be sure he is near so you must wish for your lucky guardian power animal. GG was worried that her usually happy smile dropped and she nervously twiddled her red locks. As they travelling along on this beautiful day, the sun stream through the windows, the animals were running up and down the carriage, playing music and everyone was relaxed and happy. Billy was being misctuevious again and pretending he could smell something horrible. “It’s possibly fish”, he said. At that moment, GG got a whiff of something that make her feel sick, she thought her mind was playing trick on her, then she sniffed the air again. Turing to the carriage door, she saw a steamed up window with what looked like a big red eye, as the mist cleared, she saw a pair of sharp pointy teeth then the head moved and she saw a large cat like eye, staring right at her, the smell seeped into the carriage and everyone froze. Granny goose knew who it was and gathered up all her baby animals, ‘come here, my babies, quickly’ she said “Scaley is on the train”. Everyone turned into horror, but GG sat with her eyes shut tightly. Remembering what Billy said and she wished as hard as she could and tried to picture her guardian power animal in her head, her guardian power animal Queenie, the magical unicorn with pink hair and the silver tail from angel land where she saves and protects all precious little people. She appears when you really think hard and imagine her to be there to help. GG opened her eyes and saw green flames gushing out of Scaleys nose and a rotten egg smell filled the air. She turned to see Queenie standing in the aisle, appear as like what she pictured it. Queenie’s beautiful long eyelashes sparkling in a ray of sunshine as she winked at GG reassuring her it was going to be ok.
Queenie flew out of the open window so that Scaley turned to face her. He roared and raised his claws in anger trying to reach her. She danced in the clouds and blew a puff of perfume smoke that covered Scaley so that no one could see him. When the smoke cleared, a little jolly rosy cheeked goblin suddenly appeared and then did a jig up the aisle with his singing “ hey ho tiddley pom, the dragon has had a kick up the bum!” Magically, the Scaley disappear in front of everybody’s eyes then sun came out again and sky became clear blue. Almost right after the lovely weather showed, the train slowed down and came to a stop at the top of the mountain. The passengers got off slowly and still afraid that Scaley might be there. As they stood in the crunchy glistening snow, they saw some small footprints leading to a tree and there sat behind the tree the little goblin eating a curly quaver leaves “yum yum, yum yum” he said shoving a big hand full into his mouth. He looked surprised to see everyone standing around. He seemed embarrassed, the coughed and cleared his throat, then in a quiet voice he said “thank you, thank you” and stood up. He said excitedly “You have set me free, I had spell cast on me and you helped to release me”. He then jumped up and climbed the tree, throwing tasty curly leaves for everyone to eat. They all ate until they were stuffed and fell asleep in the sunshine, until it was time to get on the train again.

The End.
