Royal Caribbean’s biggest cruise ship ever, Margra, was passing by Venice. She was all white with six blue and grey dolphins. She had fifteen swimming pools, twenty gyms, ten movie theaters, four waterslides, twenty-three restaurants, 14 casinos, 15 game rooms, 3,000,500 suites and 25 lounges. She was carrying her full load, 31,000 people, 400 crew and 115 police. She had four huge engines and a lot of endurance.

A gang of evil people wanted her to crash into Venice. They had a grudge against Royal Caribbean because they were very picky eaters and the cooks in Margra accidentally burned some maple syrup for their french toast. They were George W. Bush, Careet “Carrot” Baldman, Rudy Giuliani and Alexander Backsnout. Their prisoners were Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton. George was exiled out of America for being such a bad president and Alexander is Albert Einstein’s great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson. He thought up the “plan”.

It was a strange day in September. The breeze was a spring breeze, except at one place it was icy. Only one tree has no leaves and that place was outside a bedroom that was on the third floor of (what looked like) a regular house. The bedroom had birds on the wallpaper. There was a bunk bed that had frogs on it’s bed covers. The carpet was red and had green and pink lily pads on it. The curtains were made of a glossy pink fabric. It was a rainy day, like spring rain, except snow fell near that bedroom. All of the kids were happy about this strange happening, except Lilac and Rose. Lilac and Rose were in that bedroom, sitting, waiting for this curse to go so that they could get some fresh air and find their parents. Their parents had not come back home in a long time, they had said that they were just going to the grocery store for a few minutes, it turned out that they hadn’t come back and it had already been an hour. Lilac and Rose looked longingly out at the kids that were enjoying themselves, it was soooooooo not fair. No other kids felt the way that Lilac and Rose felt, all happy loving this spell.

Once upon a time there was a young witch named Sarah. She lived in Venice, Italy.

She loved playing with magic. One day she was swinging. She let go, and flew quite to far and landed far to lightly. Another day she made a field of flowers open and close their petals and change colors.

Over the years her idea of fun changed to mischief. She liked the sound of the church bells at noon. So one day at 7:30 in the morning when she was bored she made them ring. It caused chaos. People ran around Venice trying to get where they needed to be at noon. One day she needed to get somewhere, but she didn’t have a gondola. So when she saw one empty and docked on the other side of the canal she made it come to her. She made it move itself. Then she saw a ship leaving port. She thought that it would be even better than the gondola so she turned the ship and made it sail toward her. Even with her mighty engines in reverse the ocean liner was pulled further and further into the canal. Then she saw a bird and got an idea. So she let the ocean liner go and went to her magic teacher, professor Nickles, to learn how to fly, but professor Nickles said, “You should not have made the liner do so much destruction.” Sarah was sorry. This time she’d gone to far. Then proffessor Nickles said, “However I think that you might have wanted to use the ocean liner as impressive transport and if I teach you to fly will you promise not to do anything like the ocean liner again?”

Susan Alphone walked over to Mr. Linden’s Library from school one day. As she stepped into the cooling library, she did what she did every day at the library. She stepped over to the New Books list and checked it.

No, no, no…Susan muttered. She only did that until she came to a book titled “ A Magical Book: A book Itself of Magic. “ Sounds good,” she said to herself. On the list, it also said where the book was located in the library.

Susan stepped over to the aisle and took it out. After that, Susan stepped over to the desk and told Mr. Linden that she wanted the book. “ Ok, young lady,” Mr. Linden said and winked at Susan, “ but be careful with it. Never go to bed without turning off the light and closing the book. Take this as a warning, ok Susan?”
