  1. In the moonlight, Sophie caught a glimpse of an enormous long pale wrinkly face with the most enormous ears. The nose was as sharp as a knife and above the nose there were two bright flashing eyes. The eyes were staring straight at Sophie. There was a fierce and devilish look about them.

  5. Puss had a fat, round body, like that of a watermelon. It also had a pair of the most emerald green eyes and pointy claws. Coupled with the fact that it had ginger-coloured fur, its puffy face looked as disagreeable than ever!

  6. Knowing she mustn't be seen,Antonia had to fight the urge to leap in and out of the water with sheer delight.Instead she drived down and swam underwater to find Spirit.Antonia sensed she was being called towards the seahorse colony.She continued swimming underwater until she was clear of first Gull Bay, and then Sandy Bay.Her dolphin charm thrummed against her neck and anxiety made her swim faster.What had happened this time?It was a relief finally to spot four heads bobbing in the water.The three black shiny ones Antonia recognised as Spirit,Dream and Bubbles.The fourth head was Cai's.So where is Star? Antonia powered on,and was slightly out of breath as she joined her friends.There was no friendly greeting from Sprit or banter from Cai about how he'd beaten her again.The situation was obviously too serious.Spirit nudge her hand with nose an clicked, "Follow me,"before diving underwater.Antonia glanced at Cai and he pulled a face to show he knew as little as her."Hurry,Silver Dolphins,"urged Bubbles.They swam after Spirit through the clear water until the eelgrass beds came into sight.Antonia fixed her attention on the waving stems of grass and at once she spotted Star.She was coasting slowly above the eelgrase.Her eyes were anxious and she held her head unnaturally still,as if moving might be dangerous."Star!"cried Antonia,hurrying towards her.Sensible Star barely moved. A trickle of blood stained the water around her.Wedged on her nose,like an old-fashioned gas mask,was a broken glass bottle.

  8. Down in the valley there were three farms.The owners of these farms had done well.They were rich men.They werealso nasty men.All threeof themwere about as nasty and mean as any men you could meet.Their names were farmers Boggis,farmer Bunce and farmer Bean. Boggis was a chicken farmer.He kept thousands of chickens.He was enormously fat.This was because he ate three boiled chickens smothered with dumplings every day for breakfast,lunch and supper. Bunce wasa duck-and-goose farmer.He kept thousands of ducks and geese.He was a kind of pot-bellied dwarf.He was so short his chin would have been underwater in the shallow end of any swimming-pool in the world.His food wasdough-nuts and goose-livers.He mashed the lives into a disgusting paste then suffed the paste into the doughnuts.This diet gave him a tummy-ache and a beastly temper. Bean was a turkey-and-apple farmer.He kept thousands of turkeys in an orchard full of apple trees.He never ate any food at all.Instead,he drank gallons of strong cider which he made from the applesin his orchard.He was as thin as a pen-cil and the cleverest of them all.Boggis and Bunce and Bean.One fat,one short,one lean.There horrible crooks.So different in looks.Were none the less equally mean. That is what the children round about used to sing when they saw them.

  10. as zoe wandered towards the greenhouse she noticed that the door was open.inside she glimpsed a jungle-like a mass of plants with tomatoes,peppers and lots of stuff she didn't recognize .
    suddenly, from among all the plants ,there was a flash of bright white light "what was that?"a little nervously , she crept inside.at first zoe couldn 't see anything odd as she walked between the rows of plants and lowers but just as she was to turn back , she noticed something glowing faintly at th very back of the greenhouse. zoe went forward slowly.as she got closer she a big pile of old flowerpots in a corner and top of them there crouched what appeared to be a tiny kitten. in the light its fluffy coat seemed to sparkle all over. zoe blinked hard. how did the kitten get n here ? when zoe looked again, the sparkles seemed to have faded. the kitten was really cute with white fur and ginger and black markings and the brightest emerald eyes zoe had ever seen.

    His eyes were lifeless and cold.His mouth was twisted into a cruel smile.I can only describe what i felt as horror.It was quite unusual. -From: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
