The magic keyhole

I was walking in the hall when l heard a strange noise. I looked at a very strange door saying. Keep out or you will be shrunk. I thought of what the sign on the door had said. I said that l will not be shrunk. I am very brave. I heard little voices coming from the door so l opened the door and entered.

When l was in the room l took a peek. Through the keyhole l saw bushes, not the hall. I was getting very scared. I saw everything very small. I saw a small bottle saying drink me if you want a happy life. I drank the water in the bottle. I was getting very dizzy when l looked at the things and we were all the same size.

I screamed and fainted. When l woke up l saw weird people but they were human. They said that they had to break the colourful ball in the centre of the room. We just need one more person to help us said a voice. It was my mum. I told them that l will help. I thought that it was not right to enter other people’s property but this time it was good. I helped them and they all were all freed and they were tall again.

Poem(Blow,Blow Thou Winter Wind

Freeze,freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefit forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho!sing,heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho,the holly!This life is most jelly
