Tree talk
Part 2 if it was fantasy
“There’s no way out of here!” Ruby cried and the competition was almost starting and she had nothing to present. “I told you this was all your fault!” Sefa said angrily it was silent, it was just the sound of wind gushing to Sefa and Ruby’s faces. “We’ll never get out of here! We’ve been walking in circles and now we have no energy!” Sefa said annoyed. Just then Ruby looked up and saw towering branches up high “Hey! Maybe we can climb up the Matai tree and get some berries! So that we can have enough energy and find our way out! ”. “Thats actually not a bad idea!” Said Sefa. So they started climbing but no matter how hard they tried they just kept falling and just lost more of their energy. “That was a waste of time! It just wasted all of our energy! Now I’m even more tired!” Sefa cried. So Ruby screamed begging for help “HELLO SOMEBODY THERE!? PLEASE HELP WE’RE LOST!”. They sat there feeling hopeless but they heard something rustling through the bushes then they saw their mother from far away then hope came back “MUM OVER HERE WE’RE HERE!!” Sefa and Ruby cried “Kids!” their mother cried then ran into their mothers arms crying “I’ve been looking everywhere for you guys! Where have you been!?” “We were lost!” Ruby cried then Ruby realised there was more time for the competition and she knew exactly what to present about because while shouting she noticed that saplings were dying then her mother drove her to the competition just in time!
AT COMPETITION!
Ruby took one look at the stage she was next. She took a big deep breath then the announcer called her name “Now take a big round of applause for… RUBY!”. She took another deep breath and stepped onto the stage “Hi! My name is Ruby and I will be presenting to always keep the environment clean. This is why you should keep the environment clean and to reuse and recycle. Reason 1. We should keep the environment clean and healthy so that trees can have a nice and a clean place to stay. Reason 2. You can reuse and recycle to help the environment. You can create beautiful stuff out of it! Even a gift! Reason 3. You should always keep the sea clean so that the sea animals won’t get hurt. Now last but not least the last reason. We should keep the environment clean so it can be a clean and wonderful place! So that some stuff in the environment can’t be polluted. Now the last thing is to be sustainable so that new plants can grow and be healthy! That is the end of my presentation bye!”. When a couple of people went and presented, the announcer went up the stage “Wow! We heard some great presentations but the winner is drumroll please! It is….. RUBY!” Ruby was shocked then ran up to the podium and she was given a basket with treats and the crowd went wild with applause then once it was done everyone had some hotdogs! Then Ruby and her family headed home and everyone was celebrating.
