The strange times. Competition time – Readers’ stories
1
Joe Wallace was an ordinary English boy. He was interested in the same things as other
children, such as playing basketball and spending time with friends in his free time.
One evening, on his way home from the park, Joe saw a strange, red object in the sky. He
knew it wasn’t an airplane because it was too small. It wasn’t moving, but as Joe walked
closer, it began to move towards him! The last thing he saw was a bright yellow light.
When Joe woke up the next morning, he didn’t remember anything. He went to the kitchen and spoke to his
mum. She looked at him strangely. He was speaking Russian! He didn’t know how, but he could now speak ten
new languages. How strange!

Sara loved shopping for things like old clothes, comics and books from the past.
One day, she bought a very old book of short stories. It was old, but she knew it was spe-
cial. She asked the woman in the shop about it. The woman told her that she didn’t know
the author, but the book was more than one hundred years old!
When Sara got home, she opened the book and got a big surprise. There was a note on
the first page. It said, ‘To Sara, I hope you like it. Love, Kitty.’ Kitty was her great-grandmother’s name! How
strange!

A day to remember
Steve: I’ll always remember the day that Tom arrived at our school. It was three years ago. He came late
to the first class and sat next to me. We started chatting and we realised that we liked a lot of the
same things. He liked camping and being outdoors. He also loved animals, but he was terrified of
spiders, just like I was! He didn’t like Maths or playing sports like football or tennis. He even looked
like me! We were both tall and had straight black hair. We had the same colour jumper… purple… our
favourite colour! We talked and laughed together all day. When I arrived home, I told Mum all about
my new friend. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Dad. He told us that his brother –my uncle– and
his family were moving to our town. He said my cousin would go to my school and he was excited to
meet me… my cousin’s name was Tom!
Jack: I’ll always remember that day. We left early because it was a long drive to the campsite. We got there
at six, before dark, and the first thing we did was put up our tent. Then my brother Chris and I went
to explore while our parents cooked dinner.
The campsite was by an old farmhouse and next to the woods. Chris said nobody lived in the house.
Chris wanted to explore it, but I didn’t want to! I knew it was a bad idea! After we entered, we went
up the stairs. Suddenly we heard a strange noise coming from a room and the door opened. BANG! I
was terrified. I thought it was a bear!
Suddenly a door opened and there was an old woman with a very white appearance. She started
to walk towards us. Chris and I looked at each other and ran all the way back to the tent. Before we
reached the tent, I looked back and saw a small white face in the window… watching us. Our parents
didn’t believe us, but I know we saw a ghost! I didn’t sleep at all that night. The next morning, when
I got up, I heard Dad talking to someone. I opened the tent… and it was her! The ‘ghost’ from the old
house.
She looked at me and said, ‘Hi, I’m Mrs Baker. I’m your neighbour from the tent next to yours.’
Oops! Maybe it wasn’t a ghost after all!
