The top of the beanstalk

The ground was shaking and I was panicking, “Mummmmmmm!” I shouted. ‘It was very strange because we don’t usually have earthquakes in New Zealand’ I thought to myself. I noticed that the grass started to become a big mountain of grass and dirt. It was as if a big plant or tree was growing. Next thing you know a humongous bean stalk bolted out of the ground! My mother and I were astonished, it was literally like we were in the fairy tale Jack and the beanstalk. I thought I could climb up it ,but it wasn’t that easy.

I did it, I did it, I did it! I was full of relief. I let out a huge sigh. I could feel something in the giant's pocket. It was the gold that he had stolen from my father! I was so happy, now my mother and I could live the life that we deserve...
