The Enchanted Oak Tree

The Enchanted oak tree

In a faraway land there was an enchanted, but dangerous forest. And in that magical wood, right in the middle in fact, there was an oak tree. No ordinary oak tree no, no, this oak was gigantic! Magical! And if you broke off even the tiniest leaf a light soooooo strong would come and suck you into the tree! Don't believe me? Well then I'll tell you the story of how this happened to me.

Summer

Summer

I sat on the break water, the soft, golden sand running through my toes. The blazing sun smiled down at me and I licked my ice-cream. I savored every mouthful as I watched the waves dance gently up and down the rocks. I grinned happily. This summers day couldn’t have been more perfect.

The red elf
Chapter one:
Christmas going wrong

This Christmas an elf and a reindeer were having a meeting with Santa about their jobs; because they were different from the rest of their kind. This is where the story begins…

Santa replied patiently.
“We can’t have you this year come back next-”
“What is it because we’re different?” shouted the elf.
“No it’s just-”
“You can’t have us because someone has the jobs we do”
“Yes” he paused to see if the elf would speak but no so he continued.
