The Life of a leaf

This week we read a story about a goldfish . We then decided to write our own story as if we were and object we recounted some of "our" lives as the object I chose to do a leaf this is my story .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a sunny day in new zealand the children were laughing and the leaves were falling in fact I was falling .  It was the first time I had ever been off the tree before . i was falling down , down , down . I woke up in the tree alone . Normally there are dozens of people with me but today there was only one a new leaf that had just been born about five weeks old so that leaf still had a strong stem I however had been born seven weeks before this . I tried to look down but then I began getting closer and closer to the ground then KABOOM ! I reached the ground lying lifelessly amongst others like me I saw my best friend lying upside down on the floor next to me .  I looked up at the five week old leaf just sitting there getting weaker and weaker suddenly she falls . I watch as she gracefully flips and twirls around in the air then gracefully landing amongst the rest of us . 

Suddenly , A huge gust of wind sweeps us all up and we soar into the sky . All of us leaves together formed a shape of a bird so that people don't get suspicious we flew and soared into a safe place . under a tree that had leaves similar in colour to us we were the colour yellow, some red , and others were orange  . The whole group landed except me I kept going I landed on a front lawn of a lady she seemed fairly nice until she picked me up and put this hot substance onto me it came out of what looked like a gun it was sticky like glue . I worked like glue to . I quickly got suck down onto a canvas and pressed firmly so that i didn't fall off . However as soon as the people left I tried to move with all my might but I just couldn’t .

Once the people moved I got left in the basement to rot and to collect dust but eventually I got taken out and set free in fact I almost fell of on my own but just need one little touch to help me . I was free and she had the windows open and the fan going this was my was out or so I thought my so called friend that let me go just wanted to trap me again . but I got away just in time . It felt like I was flying forever but really it was only about five minutes on the way i picked up a couple of other leaves along the way they must have gotten a lot of light because they shone like the sun . on my “big” journey I tore almost halfway down my spine and suddenly started to drop . whilst I was falling I saw a man a big huge scary man that looked like he had huge feet and would like to stamp on me . I fell and just as i had suspected he lifted up his giant foot and slam he stomped on me , I was crushed . 

I couldn’t move for the life of me . I knew this was the end .
