Cottage in the woods
There was once a girl called Julia who was kind, fair and always jolly and joyful. Her mother was just like her daughter. One day Julia mother fell very ill they were very poor and the next village was miles away. Julia had no choice but to search for the right cure. Her mother gave her the details of what to find and to be back by sunrise. By the state of Julia’s mother she looked like she would only live another few days. So Julia set of thinking of only her poor mother and how to cure her. After a while the sun was setting. Julia was so tired that she had to have a rest but by the time she woke up it was dark. Oh no thought Julia. Julia of course Julia knew the way but with darkness like that she could get know were. Meanwhile at home Julia’s mother was worried sick. In the morning Julia carried on with her journey somewhere I must have took a wrong turn because I don’t know this part of the forest. Soon she came to a clearing and there was the most beautiful big house. It had a massive garden and was like a park. It had everything that you need. Julia knew it was rude to intrude but there was something dragging her to it. She went inside. The house was like a castle in the basement there was bottles of everything you could imagine. Julia found the cure for her mother she took the bottle and then there appeared a new bottle. An enchanted cottage fancy that. Julia imagined a bottle of water and there it was in front of her. She went out of the basement and there was a note addressed to Julia…
Oh my gosh said Julia. Don’t go anywhere or let anyone in, she said to the house. It did a sort of nod and muttered yes mam’. I will be back. She started running home. In the house her mum was lying down looking dead. Oh no oh no oh no cried Julia. Julia’s mother put her head up a little and said faintly, Julia.
You're alive cried Julia. Julia half dragged half carried her mother to the cottage. What going on whispered her mother. Julia ignored her. She got to the house and shouted I am home to the house. Hello mam’ happy you’re back shouted back. Julia went inside with mother and laid her on the floor. Julia went to the basement and got the bottle. She ran back and gave the bottle to her mother. At first Julia’s mother did nothing and Julia started to cry. Then her mother twitched and started to rise from the floor and all of a sudden she was as lively as ever. Where are we Julia. So Julia told the story of what had happened. All Julia’s mother could do is gasp at the story. When she finished she said to the house well hello there cottage. Hello my mam’ he said back. Oh my said Julia’s mother. See I told you Julia said. Now you can live here forever mam’s said the house. Very well said Julia’s mother. So the house, Julia and Julia’s mother lived happily ever after.
