text: By: Levita Zhou One Morning, I saw the dawn So I woke up with a yawn And then I remembered That today was my birthday The trill of excitement Made me jump out of my bed The scent of my breakfast Was just as aroma as cotton On the way downstairs I ran as fast as I could With butterflies in my stomach I ran faster than ever The balloons in the air Made my house go vivid It’s like they were running away So I chased after them Back in the living room My parents were waiting To say the big “Happy Birthday” Before I made my wish I wish that I could See the world underwater In my big, long basement A large place to explore When I went back to my room Something magic happened It turned into an underwater world Just like the one in my wish There was also a wooden door Behind a big, blue fish When I went inside the door I saw a flying horse Up in the sky I was flying with the horses Up above the ground I could see everything I went through another door That was right behind a horse I saw a polar bear So I knew I was in the Arctic Its fur was softer than anything Those big eyes to look in the distance With a nose to hunt for food And big claws to kill the seal On an ice cube Stood a big door I went inside To take a look There was a berry Not just an ordinary berry Not a blueberry But a rainbow berry It stood nice and tall Like the Washington Monument I saw two doors What were both for? I walked forward To take a closer look One says Back And one says Forward I’m certainly not ready to go home I want to continue my adventure But what if it goes on forever? So I decided to go home At first, I collected Some magic dust So I can come back again And finish my adventure I needed to go home To open my presents I went through the Back door And back home I went At first, nothing happened But in a blink of an eye I was on the sofa couch My parents were in the dining room I said “Hi” to them And ate my lunch There were chicken nuggets With yellow honey mustard All this was a real adventure Not a dream I thought A really fun adventure Then I saw something on the floor It was a key charm With all the adventures I had on it When I went to open my presents There weren’t any! The present must have been the adventure! Thank you mom and dad. You are the best. I love you! I murmured This adventure was amazing It will last me forever I’ll never forget about it It was so fun! On the next day I was feeling blue What should I do? Should I finish my adventure? I chose “Yes” I should finish My amazing adventure Right now!! I got the magic dust I saved from yesterday It was still there “Phew” I am so glad I sprinkled it around my room And then the magic happened I saw the big Saturn I was in space I floated like the stars And explored the galaxy I looked around To find a door Behind Neptune I found a navy door I went inside And a bunny jumped I played with the bunnies And learned a lot I watched them jump They loved green grass I saw a bunny That just jumped by Behind where it jumped There was an emerald door I went across the door There was a big tree Right in front of me And a big snake The snake twisted on the ground I quickly ran away I thought is was gonna bite me Where am I? The enchanted forest of course! Where unicorns still live With dinosaurs and other creatures In the past Behind a dinosaur Two optional doors again I knew I had to go home And finish my adventure tomorrow I walked toward the doors And chose the Back door I walked inside And waited to go home It was just like last time I was on the sofa couch I saw a little key charm Of adventures that happened this time I still had some questions That were spinning in my head Where was the magic dust found? How did the scenes change? It looks like That all this is a mystery But I still had the key charms And that is all I need. All these adventures I’ll never forget It is in my heart And it will be there...... Forever. But when I went Back to my room I saw a Koala bear! Where was it from!? I certainly did not Sprinkle magic dust around my room Anyways, I’ll continue my adventure This is such a mystery! I just can’t believe it The koala just appeared In my room! But it sure is cute! I looked around To find a door But there weren’t any What should I do? I got the dust That I saved the other day I dusted it around my room I wanted back my normal room At first nothing happened! Then.... I found a small plane A very small plane Just sitting there I went for a closer look And touched the plane The plane’s door opened And pushed me to go inside The second I was inside I was in a goggle and a mask I was on the plane seat Ready to go around the world I was first in Japan I was near a building People were saying “I hate coronavirus” In Japanese While drinking green tea I was so nervous I saw a big tempo, right in front of me I didn’t go out of the plane Because I was scared Next, we arrived in Mexico People were all in their houses Dancing around Mexico is so beautiful! I need to go and explore Before I could go out The plane stoped me It made a face Telling me not to go The next stop was China Shanghai, China to be particular I wanted to go explore But I didn’t dare to I looked around Now I REALLY want to go home What should I do? I tried to think of ideas But didn’t make any progress I wanted to go home! There were nothing else That I could do I wanted to cry Then I got an idea I said “Home” And it actually worked! I was glad to be back To my home, sweet home Adventures are fun But being home is better With your parents and people you love I love you “My Home” I am in my home everyday With the people I love No matter where I go Home is always the best place This Adventure is just like when you go on a vacation. When you go to a place that you like, you have to return home. The narrator of this story goes on an adventure but after all the places she goes, she still wants to go back home. She misses her parents so she chose to go home. HOME IS THE BEST!!! Adventures are amazing But family is forever. I think that my house is part of my family.
