The Enchanted Palace By Emma Zhao 2L

One day I went hiking with my dad. I entered a cave covered with grape vines. It was enchanting! The air smelled like roses and the water was as clear as a diamond. The grass was rich green like emeralds and the sun was as orange as oranges. Colourful birds were twittering around and a rainbow stretched across the sky. I saw a castle in the distance and said, “Dad, where do we go now?” I turned around and my dad was trapped in a cage made of brambles! I tried to cut it but it was too strong and thick. Oh well, I thought, I guess I will just have to leave you to escape yourself! I ran away. I went to the castle and saw a small crowd. They were all chatting. Here are some of the things that I heard. “Who stole the crown?” “I am sure it wouldn’t be a good person!” I quickly entered the castle. There was a queen standing there. I read about her. I thought as I curtsied, “Well hello dear Queen Flower. I heard you lost your crown. I will go and get it for you.” I knew where the crown was because I researched it. I raced to another castle and I saw the crown in a glass case with lasers! I saw a plug and quickly and quietly unplugged it. The lasers went off and I grabbed the crown. I ran back to the other castle and met the queen at the entrance. She thanked me and she asked me if I would want to live in the castle with her. I almost shouted, YES! The queen said she needed some help for the palace animals. I stayed and I helped her feed the animals every day. We lived happily ever after.
