Aarushi's story.. written and typed by her
Lyvia and the magnificent swan
Once upon a time, in a large clearing lived a
poor family, called the Nace family. In the family there were: one mother, one
father, three sisters and one baby. The first sister was called Lyvia and she
was nine. The second sister was called Glarentine, the short form was Tine, and
she was seven. The third sister was called Jessica and she was five. Their baby
brother was twelve months old. Their mother was called Nancy and their father
was called Fred.
One day, in the dark of the night, Lyvia,
Glarentine and Jessica sat wide awake in bed. “I know we’ll go out for a stroll
in the night” suggested Lyvia. “I agree with Lyvia’’ came Jessica’s voice out
of the dark room. “We might see some ducks floating in the lake’’ agreed
Glarentine. “We’ll need to leave quietly though” whispered Lyvia. As silently
as a mouse, the three girls crept out of the door. The whole clearing was
silent. The three friends started making their way through the cold night air.
They had walked for hours and their legs were tired because of the walk but
they urged their legs on. Soon Jessica let out a small agonised cry. Glarentine
and Lyvia stopped walking immediately. Jessica lay sprawled among the grass. A
rock was beneath her. ‘‘I’ll stay with you’’said Glarentine immediately as her
eye caught Jessica’s bleeding knee.’’I’ll carry on’’ said Lyvia. Lyvia hadn’t
been walking for a long time, when a pretty lake came into sight. There was a
magnificent swan floating gracefully on the lake. Lyvia wished that her parents
had more money so that they could take her, Glarentine and Jessica to
Disneyland. Then
mysteriously there was a brilliant, blinding flash of red light and suddenly a
small pile of money appeared in front of Lyvia. Belwildered, Lyvia picked it up. She
walked back to Jessica and Glarentine, still puzzled. Jessica had a knee bandaged
with leaves and vines. She told them what had happened… “A pile of gold coins appeared
in front of me,” she finished, gesturing towards the gold in her hands. Lyvia
put the money in the treasure chest in their playroom. After that they went
back to bed and fell asleep, thinking about their adventure.
The next morning, Lyvia went to her parents and
showed them her money which she had got the previous day. To her surprise the playroom
was full of money. Finally Lyvia, Glarentine and Jessica were able to go to
Disneyland and stay in a hotel there.
THE END.
Post script: Aarushi has been wanting to go to Disneyland hotel 'again' for the longest time and we have been telling her it's too costly specially because we stay in Hong Kong. I don't think we have a choice after this - we have to make it on her 7th birthday :)

For a 6 year old, the usage as "urged her legs to move on" is really commendable. Does she read a lot ? Her imaginative self has been nicely put into the story.I also think she knows how to get work done by using the emotional play :-).
Convey my regards to Aarushi.
