After watching the video ‘Wild Hamster Has a Graveyard Feast’ narrated by David Attenborough, Amelia Mc wrote the following action piece:
Hamster in Action!
The blood-red autumn leaves rustled softly as something
crept past them. It looked around, its keen eyes noticing every detail. Then,
it saw what it was looking for. A newly
placed marble slab stood in the shadow of a towering yew tree. In front of it
was a bunch of snowy white flowers that had a beautiful scent. A trio of
candles had been balanced precariously on the edge of the grave.
“Target acquired.”
Silently, he slinked out of his hiding place, wary of every
worm in the ground, of every squirrel in the trees. His eyes were fixed on the
gravestone. Any other day, he might have wondered about the body that was
buried a few feet beneath the ground where he stood, but today was different,
today he was on a mission.
His eyes were narrowed as he pounced onto the engraved block
of stone. His body tensed as he listened for the sound of nearing footsteps,
but when he heard nothing he turned back to his prize, his well-earned trophy
that would make him a hero, his… dinner!
In the cool shade of the yew tree, Agent Nibbles the spy
hamster devoured the flowers, one after the other, before turning to the
candles, before leaping onto one and poking his petal-stuffed cheeks into the
jar. Without warning, the jar fell of the edge of the slab. When his stomach
was finally satisfied, the drowsy hamster moved to retrieve his head from the
container, but he had a nasty surprise, he was stuck!
Angrily, Agent Nibbles clawed at the glass, but it was no
use. Desperately, he charged into the gravestone, kicking the jaw with his muscular
hind legs. He fought bravely, with courage and valour. Finally, the jar loosened
and he was able to escape the suffocating glass prison, which had trapped him.
“Mission accomplished.”
