The Magical Hairbrush

Written by Sarah K (age 13) from Perak, Malaysia

Zomann, the dark wizard of the cold north suddenly appeared before Coan and swept him off to adventure with his fiery rod. They landed on a bed of trampled reed grass.

Coan got up, regained his composure and said, "Who are you and why am I here?".

Zomann replied, "I'm looking for my magical hairbrush. I think you know where it is. Are you willing to help me?".

"May I know who you are first?" said Coan feeling very impatient.

"Yes, of course. I am Zomann, the dark wizard from Dilly Dally Valley. As you can see, I'm in my towel because during your time travel here, I took a bath. Now that I've told you my name, will you help me?"

"Yes," replied Coan.

So, they ventured off miles away from Dilly Dalley Valley and into the woods of Polnudk. As they passed through, they saw green glowing eyes in the misty fog.

Coan crept closer to Zomann and whispered, "Are you sure this is safe?".

"Sure, I go through here all the time," Zomann boasted.

Then suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew onto their faces. "Roar!" shouted a creature from the cave.

"Is that you, Bearzo?" Zomann asked excitedly.

"Zomann, is that you?" said the creature harshly.

"I want you to met my friend, Coan."

"Hi," said Bearzo happily. "Sorry, I didn't know that you are looking for your hairbrush. I gave it to the sand witch because she has hair and you don't."

"No hair? How could this be?" said Zomann surprised.

And so, they went home sadly. Coan was sent home. During Zomann's free time, he would invent potions to grow his hair back so that he can get his hairbrush back.

The end.

Hi Sarah,

What an interesting story! I think Zomann will take a long time to succeed in inventing the potion for growing hair. Why? Because he's from Dilly Dalley Valley! Ha ha ha.

Love ... Aunty M

Life Under the Sea

Sarah K, our 13-year old resident artist and writer put her creativity to work after she watched Nemo, the movie. She drew this picture five (?) years ago when she was 8.

Sea creatures that talk? Grown-ups would say this is impossible. Perhaps, they may even say we are being silly. But, friends of KW4K know better, right? Just look at the wonderful chatter happening in Sarah's drawing. Even the fish skeleton had something to say.

Hmmm.....which of you (and I am refering to present and future friends of KW4K) can write your story based on this drawing of "Life Under the Sea". Anyone like to try? Click here to submit your story.

Orca to the Rescue!

Written by Sarah K in 2008 when she was 12 years old.

One sunny morning, Danny went to the beach to go swimming. While walkig, he saw a sign board saying "Beware of Shark". He ignored it because he really loved swimming.

He finally reached the beach, took off his shirt and jumped in the shallow park of the water with glee. After that, he started to swim out into open waters. Suddenly, he saw something lurking behind him.

"Aaagh!!!" he screamed with fright. He flew up high in the air and landed with a splash. It wasn't a shark. It was a killer whale!

It didn't want to attack Danny. It just wanted to play. It looked like it just wanted to be friends with Danny.

So, they decided to swim really far from shore. They swam and they swam and after swimming a few miles away, they decided to stop at a little island called Kikoluko. Kids, does this fish look like Orca the whale? If not, would you like to send me your picture of what you think Orca should look like?

Tired and exhausted, they finally reached the island. After Danny got of the whale's back, he said, "Wait for me while I explore the island." After a few hours exploring the island, the whale took Danny back home.

When Danny jumped off the whale's back, he fell into the water. Suddenly, a terrifying shark grabbed Danny on his leg. The whale turned and flung the shark high in the air. Bleeding, the whale pushed Danny back to shore.

After a few minutes, the ambulance arrived.

Danny was saved thanks to his best friend. After a few weeks, Danny came back to swim with the whale again.

The end.
