First Draft
Food Fight of the day
Today was a typical monday sunny afternoon, me and my parents, who are buffalos were just going for a walk in the dry grassland of the savannah. We were just hunting for food because I was hungry. We were walking peacefully looking around the river banks until my dad told me and my mom to stay put, we asked him why and he said ‘Well I think we're being targeted right now’. As my dad was looking for something. I could see a lion's head, I thought I was hallucinating but I wasn’t! I saw my dad’s eyes grow, ‘Lions Run!’He shouted.
I could hear faint screeching noises of the lions telling them to chase after us. I could smell danger lying ahead. My parents ran without me by their side thinking I was, but as soon as I ran I could see the lions chasing one thing, ME! I wasn’t as fast as my parents so i was pretty slow for a calf. I could see desire in their eyes as they chased me, licking their long looking filthy tongues at my rich meat. Wham! I got knocked into the river I was next to. I tasted something I never tasted before, blood! I felt Like a chicken running away from death. Swimming up I could feel 2 fluffy and soft hands helping me up, I thought it was my parents, but no it was something that was going to be my nightmare for a while.
As I walked back to my parents I felt joy and relieved that I was alive, I had a few scratches but other than that I was perfectly fine. I remembered the look on the lions as they saw my parents heard coming up to them coming to get me back. I smiled at that thought. I had learned my lesson, never go into the wild areas of the savanna with a calf.
Wow Trisha yours is very amazing i liked how you added " fanit screeching noises".
ReplyDeleteTrisha, I really enjoyed reading your story, I especially enjoyed the orientation as you set the scene really well. I know exactly who you are, where you are, why you are there. I especially like your description of what you could see (desire in their eyes)
ReplyDeleteAlthough parts of your action are great you are missing important parts to the recount. You haven't described the part about the crocodile or how the buffalo rescued the calf. These are really important parts.
Trisha you done a fantastic job. I like how you had juicy words like screeching. But some parts didn't make scenes like I got knocked into the river I was next to. There were some I’s that was lower case maybe next time proof read. But besides those things it’s fantastic.
