BEING CHASED BY A BULL

  

It was Saturday.  I wanted to watch the Simpsons.  My sister kept changing the channels to Pokemon.  'Give me the remote you little rascal' I shouted at her. Then my mother came in and said 'What's all the racket?'.  Then my sister replied 'It was him'.  I said 'Watch Pokemon so'.  I shot off down the road. 'Come back here' roared  my mother.  I came to a quiet field and there seemed to be nothing in it.  so I decided to climb over the rusty gate and said to myself 'they will be really worried soon'.  I carried on strolling through the field.  Some time later I came to another gate.  I looked in and there was  Polly bull in the field.  I said to myself 'I'll hop over the gate and chase the Polly bull'.  So I climbed to the top of the gate and jumped off. I started to run after him but I was to have a change of luck and instead of me running after him he ran after me.  I ran for my  life roaring 'Aaaaah'...........

I ran left and I ran right but he would not stop. I jumped up on the gate and climbed up a tree. I was lucky because it was a horse-chestnut tree. I threw a chestnut at him and he backed up. I had time to run for the road so I did.  On my way to the road, I saw an old house.  There was a man around the back.  He was taking in a bag. I saw him on the news.  He had broken out of jail.  I went around the side to have a better look. I saw bag, a gun and a knife on the table. I looked inside the bag and it was full of fifty-pound notes. I turned to run but he was standing beside me.  He grabbed my jacket. I ran out the door into the field and ran past the bull.  The man came after me with my jacket. I kicked the bull on the head and he got up thinking it was the man who hit him.  The bull chased him around the field.  Then I ran off down the fields whilst the bull was chasing the man.

Eventually I came to a road.  It seemed like it had no ending.  So I began to walk.  I saw the man running down the road after me.  I jumped behind a bush and waited for an hour and came out.  I saw my mother.  I waved at her but she didn't wave back because it was the man with my mother tied up.  There was  bottle on the ground.  I picked it up and I hit him across the head wit the bottle and untied my mother and we went home.  My mother was frightened for a couple of days.  We told her that there was nothing to worry that we were safe.  So my father decided to go on holiday to America to help my mother forget about what happened.  So we lived happily ever after.
