A Magical Trip to Ocean World

One hot summer day, I went to a water park called Ocean World. It was far from my home. It took 2 hours to get there by car. When I arrived at the park, I was very excited. I wanted to start playing as fast as I could.

I saw a very tall and very big slide in the front of the park. I thought it was scary, but my mom said I would be okay, so I rode it. The slide had a very long tunnel and lots of ups and downs. When the slide ended, I opened my eyes and saw I was in a magical, fun world. Here, I could use magic to get anything I needed, and I didn’t need any money.
 

The first thing I made was an elevator that could take me anywhere I wanted to go.  I stepped in the elevator and thought, “Take me to the Zoo” and off we zoomed.  When the doors opened, there were monkeys, lions, tigers, zebras, and giraffes watching me. I was afraid, but then I became friends with the animals. I stayed at the Zoo all day playing with them.

It was getting late, so I needed to go back to Ocean World where my mom was waiting. I went back inside the elevator and thought, “Take me to Ocean World.” I opened the door and thought it would be night, but I was back at the bottom of the slide, right where I started. It was still sunny, so my mom and I could keep playing. I rode the Fast S Slide and had lots of fun! It was the perfect summer day.

The end.
