The Rose Garden

                                      By Raqshan Khan                                      

 Chapter1: Tina      

Yes! Said Tina when her teacher, Mrs.Arther gave her a card. She had been waiting for it. It was from her old teaher, Mrs.Hagston. Inside was a ring, Tina put the ring on. She hoped that her teacher would let her visit Mrs.Hagston. Because she wanted to help Mrs. Hagston in her class room.    But Mrs.Arther was very mean. She never let anyone go to any other classroom. She frowned when other children came and gave her something. Even though this was 3rdGrade classroom, she never teaches 3^rd grade stuff instead she teaches baby things. And when she is mad it is like you are caught in a thunder storm.   At recess Tina saw her ring sparkle. As she went outside, it started to rain.. She ran to the restroom.                                                            

Chapter 2: The Gate Way  

As she was running she bumped into something hard.” ouch”, she said. When she looked up, she couldn’t believe her eyes. In front of her was a huge gate!On the sides there were beautiful roses. As Tina stared in amazement, her friend, Ashley came running and shook Tina’s shoulder. “Tina”, she asked, what are you looking at? Look, Ashley”, she said. Ashley looked, then she started to laugh. “Are you day dreaming”? Asked Ashley. “No, I’m not day dreaming”, said Tina.“Then what are you looking at?” asked Ashley. “I am looking”..“Watch out, here comes a truck!” yelled Tina. The ice-cream truck was passing by. Tina opened the gate and They ran inside.                                                            

Chapter 3: The Rose Garden Entrance 

Inside the rose garden Ashley and Tina couldn’t believe their eyes! There was a huge rose and a cozy looking cottage. Ashley and Tina suddenly felt cold, when they looked up they saw rain clouds. They ran towards cottage and went inside. “Wow!”, cried Tina, “it’s a whole new world here!” “Ya!”, shouted Ashley. Inside the cottage was a huge living room. Suddenly they heard a laugh coming from outside. “Ha ha ha ha ha!” cried the big voice.  “Uh! Oh!” cried Ashley, “that sounds like Mrs.Arther, our teacher.” Suddenly a huge wave rose over their heads. “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” yelled Tina and Ashley. All of a sudden when they thought it was the end of them… Tina yelled, “Magic Rose,” help us! Immediately the wave froze. “Noooooo!” cried the voice,” I’ll be back!”All of a sudden two beautiful necklaces rose from the big rose. Then the necklaces disappeared and appeared on the girl’s necks. Then everything vanished including the big, beautiful rose. Once again Tina and Ashley were back at school ground. Soon the girls found out that their teacher was going to destroy the “Rose Garden”,  because when she was little girl she found the  Rose Garden’s secret, but her teacher flooded the garden so that she won’t flunk the school and spent her time there in the garden. So Mrs.Arther decided that if she can’t have the happiness of being in garden, so no one can! Thank goodness Tina and Ashley were there to save the garden from Mrs.Arther’s wicked plans and they saved the Rose Garden by freezing the huge wave. After a few days Tina and Ashley found out that the necklaces were the keys to that wonderful, magical place, where happiness stays……
