To the Rescue

TO THE RESCUE!!!

AS I CYCLED DOWN THE BEAUTIFUL STREET AND TURNED AT A CORNER, I SAW THREE HORRENDOUS LOOKING, BIG AND BRAWNY MEN WIH A SMALL FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL . I REALISED THAT THIS WAS THE GIRL WHO’S POSTERS HAD BEEN PUT UP ON SO MANY WALLS, POLES AND EVEN TREES .SHE HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED, AND HERE I WAS STARING OPEN MOUTHED BEHIND THE WALL AT A CORNER.THERE WAS THIS SILLY,INTUTIVE THOUGHT IN MY MIND WHICH SAID THAT IT WAS I WHO HAD TO RESCUE THIS LITTLE GIRL, AND TAKE HER BACK TO HER HOUSE ,NO MATTER WHAT

I KNEW THAT I SHOULD’VE INFORMED THE POLICE, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ANYWAY WITHOUT MUCH ADO,I HAD ALDREADY STARTED CLIMBING THE GATE .WHEN I REACHED THE TOP AND JUMPED DOWN INTO THE GARDEN, I SAW SO MANY LILLIES, DAFFODILS, ROSES AND MARIGOLDS .IT WAS A VERY PLEASING SIGHT FOR ME TO SEE.

THEN I SAW SOMETHING ; I SAW THE LITTLE GIRL TIED TO A RUSTY CHAIR. I STEADILY CREPT TOWARD THE CHAIR TO WHICH THE GIRL WAS TIED. THE MEN HAD  GONE INSIDE THE OUTHOUSE , PROBABLY TO PLAN AS TO WHERE AND HOW TO KEEP THE RANSOM MONEY THEY WOULD BE TAKING IN EXCHANGE FOR THE GIRL. THEN I TOOK OUT MY PEN KNIFE AND FRANTICALLY STARTED CUTTING THROUGH THE ROPE. SUDDENLY I HEARD FOOTSTEPS COMIN TOWARD US .I WAS SCARED STIFF BUT I STILL KEPT THE KNIFE GOING. BUT THE ROPE STILL DID’NT GIVE WAY. I HAD TO DO SOMETHING QUICK! SWEAT TRICKLED FROM MY FACE TO MY NECK. FINALLY, THE ROPE BROKE! THIS WAS OUR ONLY CHANCE. I COULD MAKE A RUN FOR IT ! I CARRIED THE GIRL ON MY SHOULDER AND RAN LIKE THE WIND.,CLIMBING OVER THE GATE,RUNNING PAST PEOPLE AND THE TREMENDOUSLY SWEET SMELLING FLOWERS .

WITH THE MEN BEHIND ME I MADE A DASH TOWARDS THE POLICE STATION. ON MY WAY SOME NEWS REPORTERS, WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE, RECORDED MY DASH. THEY ALSO TOOK A LIVE INTERVIEW OF ME AFTER THE ALERT POLICEMEN HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE CROOKS AND THE LITTLE GIRL. THEN THE POLICE INSPECTOR DROPPED ME HOME. I WAS GIVEN A WONDROUS HUG FROM MY MOTHER AS SHE HAD SEEN MY INTERVIEW ON THE TELEVISION.

 THE WEEK AFTER WAS A HAZE AS SO MANY PEOPLE CALLED TO CONGRATULATE ME ON MY BRAVERY.I WAS EVEN GIVEN A SPECIAL LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE POLICE AND A BIG GIFT FROM THE LITTLE GIRL’S FATHER.WHAT AN ADVENTURE IT WAS!!!!!

AWAITING MY NEXT ADVENTURE
