Daisy and the Steam Train

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Daisy who was 7 years old. She lived near a field in a log cabin. It was midnight and Daisy was having a dream about Texas. One cloudy and foggy boring day, there were one thousand mountains, grassy, mossy and high. Daisy wanted to go on top of the highest ones. She was too young and they were too dangerous for her. Going round them, she spotted a big train track with lots of trains.

A little while later, a long red and black steam train came all the way down to the train station. Daisy was standing right next to it. In the next five minutes, the train stopped near her. She had no idea what was going on so she stepped right into it. After that, the doors closed and the steam train zoomed right around the mountain, and for some reason when it got to the very top of the point, it stopped right there, took off the ground and flew into the sky.

There were no people on it at all. "Wow," she thought, "I must be dreaming." The steam train went higher and higher and HIGHER, then it was going forward. "I wonder why this train is flying. I can't see any people on and there's no coach driving it.  HELP! HELP!" she shouted. "I'm stuck in here."

Daisy nearly cried because she was all alone with no one. She felt like the last girl on earth, weeping. In the dream, she saw a ghost with dark grey hair and wrinkles everywhere, floating towards her. "ARRGGHHH!" she screamed.

"Don't be scared, Daisy," whispered the ghost. "I won't hurt you."

"But ghosts don't exist," said Daisy in a rather scared and twitchy voice.

"Yes, they do, especially in Texas, my dear," the ghost said to poor Daisy, but she thought it was fooling her so it could try to kill her. Actually, the ghost was trying to fool her but it didn't want Daisy to know because it hated people who cried. Daisy knew what it was doing so she tried to get out of the train. She found a hammer on the floor and used it to smash a window. When she did that, she also found a parachute on her seat and used it to jump. At first, she screamed because she was falling with a shock in her body. But then, the parachute opened quite quickly.

It floated down over the clouds, through the mist and landed slowly on top of one of the highest mountains. "Gosh... that was scary," she said. "It felt like a dream to me. Phew," she told herself as she landed safely. While she was still dreaming which she didn't know she was, all the train tracks on the mountains disappeared. "What happened?" she thought. "All the train tracks have gone. I wish I knew what was going on." She felt a little worried about everything, then the mountains faded away. Then, in the next two seconds, a big party just appeared for some reason and all Daisy's friends were there.

"Daisy, hi, we're going over to the dancing area. Would you like to come dance with us?" one of them said.

"Well, sure," murmured Daisy and they all went to do some cool dance moves at the dance area. In ten seconds at the most, Daisy woke up and it was 9.30am. Her mother asked her to get dressed.

"Come on, Daisy," she said. "We need to catch the train if you want to go shopping to Tesco."

"I don't really like trains anymore," said Daisy, in a cute voice.

"But why, sweetheart?" asked her mum.

"Because I had a horrible dream about being trapped on a flying steam train, and a ghost showed up."

"It's okay, Daisy. It was just a dream, it wasn't real. Shall we go in the car instead?"

"Yes please, mum," replied Daisy. "I'd love that very much."

Her mum drove the car to the shops and Daisy wasn't scared any more.

The End.
