The geode's story
It all started on a rainy day and Linda was going to the shop when she saw something shining in a big hole. Linda stopped to pick the stone up. Linda had to stretch very far into the hole to reach it.
Linda thought it was the strangest thing she had ever seen. When Linda got home, she washed and cleaned it.
Linda was just putting the stone into a box when she noticed a hole like a little cave on the side of it. It was very small but suddenly Linda felt herself shrinking and she went inside of it. Suddenly inside she saw lots and lots of crystal rocks.
She loved that stone because of her adventure and the rock was happy in its new home.

The Pirate
The pirate's name was called Long John Silver. He was very tall and skinny. He had a beard. He wore armour with a sword, a gun and lots of knives.
He had a big ship. It was very smelly. He found gold, diamonds and rubies He liked a pair of claw gloves but the gold was worth more. He found it on the bottom of the sea. He felt great about the gold. He wouldn't give it away.
He hid the treasure on an island. He hid the map in a scroll in the boat. The pirate lived for a hundred years more.
