Narrative Writing For The Giant’s Necklace


As the beaming sun reached the midway point in the sky, Cherry’s mother and father couldn’t stand the heat any longer, and finally made their way back to the to the winding path, that led back up to the cottage.
“Boy’s, me and your father are going to tidy up the cottage ,be home well before dark and LOOK AFTER Cherry,” their mother instructed them, while she brushed sand off of the deck chairs. But the boys were so engrossed in what they were doing all sound was lost by excitement.

After a short period of time, the four boys began to get bored of finding sea weed and stones, instead of crabs, so as their mother and father had done Previously, they made their way up to the winding path that led to the cottage. But Cherry was so quiet collecting her shells, the boys hadn’t noticed they had left her behind.

About three and a half hours later Cherry’s mother had called everyone for tea. As soon as Cherry’s mother, father and the four brothers had sat down she called,
“Cherry tea’s ready”
There was silence
“Cherry come on now, stop playing games!”
But there was still silence, Cherry’s mother’s head turned to the boys,
“Where’s Cherry?” Their mother asked almost in a whisper. One of the boys plucked up the courage to speak.
“We might have left her on her on the beach.”
“WHAT” half shouting half screaming their mother replied.
“She’s only eleven! And you left her on her own?”
“Sorry mum, we’ll go straight back and get her home!”
“She’d better be safe!” Threatened her mum.
