    The Miner hunt

    A little girl called Ebony Statics was walking in the park on one sunny evening, she saw a hole in the ground she thought,"I better not go through it ore I will get told off by mummy.So she strolled
    away happily, she heard a squeaky noise, she wondered "What if it is a hurt squirrel or something so she ran off home sobbing with anger."Why do horrible animals have to hurt pretty and cute animals like them ? The story continues!

    I wonder what happened 3 days later ?
