CHALLENGE PRIZE:

Write a short story about an animal that can talk

In a big house, a family, a wealthy family. Mr. Bucher was a businessman, and Mrs. Bucher was a lawyer.

Her two daughters lived in the same room. Doris has many teddy bears. Among all of the teddy bears, one of them was not a real teddy bear. It was a tall tail that was behind the wall. This tall tail was not a fake tail, or a teddy bear. He was real.

He was in reality a real animal. He could talk and do other types of things. The two daughters who were sharing the same room never knew anything about their tail.

He was magic. Doris and Kimmie were the names of the two daughters sharing the same room.

They were not twins, but they were one year apart. Today was break day. There was no school.

Only Mr. and Mrs. Bucher went to work.

Their two daughters remained at home. Mrs. Bucher left instructions on the table for her two daughters.

On the note, it was written: “ My two daughters, in the fridge there are pancakes, some scrambled eggs, some sausages.

It will be a brunch. It is for both of you. The plastic container of scrambled eggs is full, and there are four pancakes in another plastic container. There are also plenty of sausages in another plastic container. The bottle of ketchup is on the other side of the fridge. It is for sausages.

When you are feeling hungry, take the food cooked by me from the fridge, and heat it in the microwave.

The Bucher family was living a comfortable life in their house. They have a gymnasium where people can exercise.

Their house was average. Doris and Kimmie were still sleeping. They were deeply sleeping. The whole of yesterday they were in the living room.

They watched cartoons on the television. They slept late at night around 11:00pm. It is at eleven: thirty P.M., that the two kids woke up.

They brushed their teeth, wore their casual clothes, and also washed their faces.

After washing their faces, they dropped the stairs. They were in the kitchen.

They took food from the fridge, and heated it up.

Before eating the food cooked by their mother, they started praying.

After praying, the two little kids started eating their meals. After eating their meals, they washed thoroughly their plates. They watched a movie on the television.

While watching the movie on the television, the tall tail hidden behind the wall started walking alone in the room while the two daughters were absent.

He played quietly in the room without messing it up.

He did not want to be noticed playing in the room.

This tall tail has been sent to the Bucher’s family because a wicked magician dropped him by the Bucher house to stop predicting the future to all animals to avoid bad things to occur in the jungle.

This tall tail has two big brothers that are also good at predicting the future of what is happening in the jungle.

The wicked magician passed away by dropping accidentally in a hole.

Henry was the name of a tall tail. He missed the jungle and his two brothers who lived away from his house.

He has been in the Bucher’s house for one year.

He is more than happy to be alive and never been noticed not to be a teddy bear.

He is trying to escape the Bucher’s house one of these days.

When the devil of the magician dropped him at the Bucher’s house, he took a rope tied to the window and started climbing of the two daughters room.

He hid herself behind the cupboard of the two daughters room.

The cupboard of the two daughters was big enough, and close to the window. This is why the two kids never noticed him.

The curtain of the window was long enough so he could hid the tall tail. This is why the girls never noticed him.

While Doris and Kimmie were watching the television, their two kids were working at their respective offices.

Mrs. Mary Bucher was a lawyer who receives a lot of clients.

She was dealing with a lot of customers. In one week, she earned a good amount of money.

At 5:00PM, the couple was done with their work.

He returned home. Their children were downstairs. Mr. and Mrs. Bucher greeted their children.

Kimmie and Doris went upstairs to take their shower.

After taking their shower, they dressed up and they packed their school books for tomorrow.

They had no homework to do tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Bucher were watching the television. Mrs. Bucher entire name was Catherine Bucher.

Mr. Bucher’s name was Peter Bucher.

Doris and Kimmie were playing monopoly upstairs. They enjoyed the game. They also played cards.

The Bucher’s had only one television downstairs that was big. After watching television, Mrs. Bucher went upstairs to take a shower. After taking her shower, Mr. Bucher also took his.

Tomorrow, everybody has to go outside. Doris and Kimmie take the bus to go to school.

When the night was gone, early in the morning the two girls woke up to start their routine with their parents.

Peter and Catherine took their car to go to work.

Kimmie and Doris waited for the bus to go to school.

Henry’s brothers in the forest found out by practicing magic where were their brother.

At lunch, Kimmie and Doris came home to take books that they forgot.

They went upstairs and got scared. The tall tail was jumping. He spoke to them kindly:”Calm down”, and told them his secret.

After calming down, the two girls grabbed their books and took the bus back home.

After their departure to school, Henry’s brothers arrived at the Bucher’s house, climbed the window.

They took their brother and flew with him on a magic sky.

Kimmie and Doris never ever saw him again.

They still live a very good life with their parents.
