The Day I Went Camping

(a work of fiction)

One day we went camping at Banff. It was as beautiful as a flower.

We started to pitch up our tent when, BOOM! It started to rain. There was lightning and thunder when suddenly, BOOM!

Then we saw some light and some smoke. There was a forest fire! Luckily there was rain to put the fire out. But the bad news is that there’s lightning and thunder. It was as scary as a bear trying to kill me and eat me. Then we put on some special clothes and went to investigate what was going on.

When we got there two people where hurt. I rushed back to the tent and called 9~1~1. There was no answer. I got some emergency stuff and ran back to the fire. I told Mum and Dad “I tried to call 9~1~1 but it didn’t work because the power line is broken”. I said as well, “I got some emergency stuff from the tent to help these people out!”. We did our best to help them and it worked.

They said to us, “Thank you for helping us!”.

We replied, “Your welcome.”.

I made an announcement, “Let’s get this fire out!”. Then we got to work. We did our best to get the fire out and it worked.

My family said to the two people, “Do you want to come to our tent and warm up?”.

They answered, “Yes!”.

They came to our tent and warmed up and asked, “Can we come to your house?”.

We answered, “Yes!”.

Then they came to our house and we lived happily ever after with the two people.

The End!
