The Magic Djembe by Freya

THE MAGIC DJEMBE

One day in the February holiday I was really bored because it was the morning when I was downstairs in my pyjamas.  My Dad told me to get dressed but, when I went to my room, I got into this den I have under my bed.

I was in my den looking for a lantern that I have.  I thought I had found it, but it is always dark in my den so I didn’t know if it was what I was looking for.  So I took it out and it was an old Djembe.

When I was confident and comfortable, I started to play it, and when I got the hang of it, I felt a strange feeling inside.  Suddenly I looked round and I saw a zebra and a giraffe.  I felt really excited.

In the end they had to go so I ran downstairs shouting “Mum, Dad come to my room, there’s something really exciting happened”.  They didn’t listen because they didn’t reply.  So I rode the giraffe back to Africa, but I kept the zebra.  I rode it back to my house and knocked on the door but no-one answered, so I rode the zebra to my Nana’s farm.

I kept the zebra for Alice, my pony, because she always squeals at other horses.  So I thought that Alice would make friends with a zebra, and that was my chance to see if it worked.  Yes it worked, right now they are playing with each other.  I still can’t believe that it worked and they are playing with each other. 

Anyway the next day when I told my Mum and Dad.  They didn’t believe me.  They thought I was lying.  I went to get the Djembe for proof but when I went to get it, it had totally disappeared so I didn’t have proof.  They didn’t believe me either that the Djembe had disappeared so no proof at all.
