Luca and Alex

By Luca

Once there was a skunk named Luca who lived with a chipmunk named Alex. They lived in a tree in a wet misty jungle. There was an elevator and at the top there was a huge Deck at the top you could see the whole jungle. They were so good at sports that their house was full of trophies.
One day, Alex asked Luca to go to the river and get some water to drink. Alex warned Luca not to go on the wrong path called dump path in case you’ll get chucked in the trash. Luca put on his hat and said, “I’m going to Alex’s.” As he walked out the door he noticed some people playing sports. It reminded him of Alex because he plays a lot of sports with him. It made him feel joyful because he loves sports. Suddenly a big fat bear jumped out Luca ran straight into the dump trail. Just then something terrible happened! The bear chucked him in the dump. He was in big trouble because this bear wanted to mix him in the trash and eat him when there’s lots of food sticking to him.
Luckily, he was very good at sports. He had to think of a way to get out. Then he saw a soccer ball and he said you can eat it you win in a game at soccer. At the end of the game it was 9 to 8 Luca. The bear got so angry that he started to chase Luca. Luca dug a hole back in the house.
Finally, he was safe again. Now he just had to get some water. He got the water he walked.
When he got home, Alex said, “did you go on dump trail?” “I didn't see it I thought you were lying about that trail I walked straight to get some water and straight back.” Alex wasn't sure he was telling the truth. And he never found out.
