The Travelling Piano

At the strike of midnight,Peter and his father zoomed away on a wonderful,
exciting adventure.

They set out to the ocean on their boat with a heap of freedom inside them.

Peter was a brilliant pianist and his father had built him a fine piano so that he could compose.

The evening's breeze was taking the boat smoothly across the water,so they left at the perfect time and they sailed out of sight.

Meanwhile,in the ocean was a sea witch. Her body was pure octopus skin, (except her head.) Her eyes were as evil as a sharks tooth and she had fourteen tentacles instead of eight.

Peter's family had told Peter about the sea witch, although they didn't believe in her (even though she was real.)

By now, Peter and his father were way out in the ocean, and on Peter's watch ,it said 1:55am.But a wave was picking up.
At 2:00am, the train had started to rock so dreadfully Peter's piano soared out of the train and fell into the sea.

The sea witch had been cooking chairs and tables for dinner and a piano would be a PERFECT dessert with clams on the side.

"He,he,he!''said the sea witch."I'll gobble up this piano tonight, with all my enormous appetite sang.

But back at the train,Peter was crying dreadfully.
Just then Mr Tchaikovsky had an idea! "Ah-ha!" said Mr Tchaikovsky, ''Lets dress up as fish and haul the piano up using ropes!We will use a telescope to find it and then we will lasso and pull it up!'' Peter thought it was a brilliant idea,so they agreed.

The witch had forgotten about her meal,and she had gone to a friend's house,so they lassoed the piano and tugged it up with glee,and they managed to do this just before the witch came back.

She was shocked!How could she forget such a pleasant thing!

But luckily,for Peter,they could continue their marvelous journey to France.
