I’m Berry and I live in a very small town, where we don’t have much water or food but we are still a very elated family. Every week one person from my family would go down to the minuscule river to get water for us, Last week it was my turn, but it was much more difficult to find enough water and this is how it happened. I grabbed two huge buckets and hoped that by the time I come back they would be full of water. I started to walk but when I got to the river the water was only up two my ankles I have never seen the river bed so dry. How would we survive if we didn’t have enough water.

It’s not easy to have your whole town relying on a barely trickling, dirty stream as the only water supply. Every morning me and my brother along with all the other children in the village head down to the stream to collect water for our families. The water is not the cleanest but it’s all we have. As well as collecting water we bring some of Mums woven baskets and gather spare fruit along the bank. It’s not a lot but we get by, here in Juba we are a tight knit community and everyone is family. Lately fruit has been scarce but we still have the water. This morning me and Pablo set of with our buckets down to the stream, Niro our neighbour was standing in the stream his bucket discarded on the bank. We approached him and I have never seen the river bed so dry.

“It has to be in the wild”, exclaimed Katy. As her producers kept throwing ideas for her new music video Roar. Whilst Katy was stepping on to the plane to Ibiza she couldn’t help but feel butterfly’s in her tummy. “Beautiful”, muttered Katy’s make up artist under her breathe. Eventually she was ready for her first scene. Which was at the river with the crocodile, albino. When she got to the river she said to herself “ I have never seen the river bed so dry.” As she flew across the Atlantic back to Pennsylvania, she couldn’t help but wonder how much global warming impacted life over in Ibiza.

It was a cold frosty morning and we lept out of bed to the sound of a buzzing alarm. We skipped down stairs to the smell of sizzling rashers.After breakfast we went upstairs to get dressed into our fishing uniform. We strolled out to the garage to get our rods ,hooks and 2 buckets, one for the worms and one for the fish (we hope) .In our brand new grey Tesla, we were travelling in style. We heard a tear but we didn’t know what it was, we pulled over. The hooks tore all the beautiful leather white seats. We finally arrived,We grabbed all the bits and bobs and strolled over to the river. We couldn’t see the water when we were walking over to the bank of the river. We were so disappointed because we have never seen to river bed so dry

THE END

Out of the 12 years I have been alive I have never experienced such heat. It was a shame we really needed the extra fish to sell at the market. Recently fish has been scarce and money has been low, we really need all the money we can get. “Meg it will be Christmas by the time we get the river at this pace, hurry up!” It was so hot I bet you could fry an egg on the ground. I gasped when I saw the state of it. I had never seen the river bed so dry, this was the only way we could earn a living what would we do now?

One Sunday morning I got up early and I got dressed and I walked down stairs I had my breakfast. After my breakfast I sat down and watched some TV. after a while I got so bored. I got so bored. I didn’t know what to do. I decided I would go for a walk. So I got my phone and bag and I set off. I went walking along the river. When I looked at the river down the road. After a few minutes I was at the river .When I looked at the river it looked a little strange. I have never seen the river bed so dry. I was so confused. It looked so filthy. There was only a small bit of water in it. It was so weird. Anyways I went walking again. That was a strange river.

“ I have never seen the river bed so dry” Alena thought to herself. It was so dry she  thought she was walking across the river on the shiny stepping stones, but she was really walking across a river of dead rainbow salmons! Ouch, a sneaky salmon was still alive! He bit my miniscule toe!! At that stage I was surrounded by an army of rainbow salmons. I was terrified for the life of me!!! What will I do? Where will I go? Then  Mum screamed at me, get up for school Alena I woke up it was all a dream.

 

“Flora come quick the river is totally dried out” said Pansy .“Pansy what is it, I was having a morning snooze?” Asked Flora grumpily . “You’ll want to see this please ”begged Pansy . “ Okey doke ”said Flora . “We’re here ” said Pansy . “Oh my lord I have never seen the river so dried out ”said Flora .“We have to fix this, all the fairies in the forest depend on us ” said Pansy . “We have to use the river staff but only the sacred fairy can wield the staff ”she said . “ What on earth are we going do? .

One day Emily and Emma were walking down the street and saw in the distance a forest. They went in and saw a river and then Emma said I have never seen a river bed so dry. They decided to go see what happened they split up to see where the two ways go. Then Emily found the end it was a beautiful place the river led to a magical place. Emily quickly went to get Emma when they both got there both of them said this is going to be our place where we’re going to have our treehouse. We went to get our dad to help us build a treehouse and he came when it was done we went back home to get our money to get the furniture. Our mom asked dad where we’re you he said I don’t remember being anywhere. So we went to buy the furniture for the treehouse we went back to the treehouse. We saw a squirrel in our treehouse eating the nuts that we left there. Then we put all the furniture in the treehouse. Our dad helped us put in the windows and put in the lights. Five hours later we where finished the treehouse it looked beautiful. This is the story about the magical river.
