Neptunian Dream
When I woke up, I was in middle of an ocean. I realized that I was in an island.. Then, my stomach started Tanishq / 8A
making a noise. I realized that I was hungry and started searching for food. I was lucky that the island where I
was standing had plenty of food resources. After, my stomach was filled I started searching for anyone the
whole day, but my search failed. It was night time and I slept. The next day I woke up by a disturbance. When, I
opened my eyes I saw many faces and jumped . I saw that it was the marine animals. Suddenly , one of them
talked. I was surprised and said “Wow, a talking marine animal”. Then, I saw a fish. Immediately , I picked it up
and was about to throw it into the water . At that very moment, the fish said “ Are you trying to kill me ? I was
surprised and said “ Aren’t you going to die ? “ The fish said that it will die if I throw it into the ocean . I was
surprised and put the fish into a fresh water available in the island . I asked the marine animals why and they
said that the ocean is polluted by plastic and its toxic is dissolving into the ocean and many of their friends were
dying . One reason is by taking in the toxic water and second reason is by eating the plastic as they thought it
was food. Now, all the marine animals have left the ocean and they were the last of them . After hearing this , I
felt terrible and told them that they can live in this island as there is a water body in this island . I showed them
the way . After reaching , I said bye to them and went to the coast of the island . At that moment when I
reached the coast , A megalodon jumped out of the ocean towards me . I got scared and said “ Ahh! “.
At that moment , I woke up . The End .
“ No water , no life.
No blue, no green. “

RIDE WITHOUT A VIEW
AS THE TRAIN UNDERGOES MOTION AND LEAVES THE RAILWAY STATION, MY EXCITEMENT Hisham K Shameer /10A
SPRINGS TO RISE. BESIDES, AS THE TRAIN GATHERS SPEED, A THRILLING SENSATION
OVERHAULS ME. SIGHTSEEING IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS OF TRAIN
JOURNEYS. I GLANCED TO MY RIGHT SIDE TO THE SHOCK THAT THERE WERE NO WINDOWS
IN THE TRAIN AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO SEE THE OUTSIDE WORLD. I WAS
ASTONISHED, AND EVERYONE WAS STILL AND QUIET AROUND ME. MY SENSES JOLTED FOR
A MOMENT. I BEGAN TO GRASP THE UNUSUAL MELLIFLUOUSNESS OF SOUNDS AROUND
ME.
MY MIND WANDERED TO THE MURMURING OF THE STREAMS. I COULD SENSE THAT A
TURQUOISE-BLUE STREAM WEAVED ITS MERRY WAY BABBLING AND BURBLING AS THE TRAIN
PASSED ATHWART IT. OVER BY THE STREAM, FROGS SANG OUT A CROAKING RITORNELLE.
SUDDENLY, AN UNEXPECTED PATTERING OF SOUND ON THE ROOF CAUGHT MY EAR. IT
WAS A SYMPHONIOUS THRUMMING OF NATURE'S WHITE NOISE. IT BECAME A PITTER-PATTER.
I COULD SENSE THE PLASHES BEGAN PLINKING AS THE RAINFALL BECAME MORE INTENSE.
FOR A MOMENT, WE DEEMED THAT WE MIGHT BE DOOMED TRAVELERS, DESTINED TO GET
SWEPT AWAY IN A WINDOWLESS TRAIN. AS WE WERE AGONIZING, THE POURING OF
RAIN CRAWLED OVER BY THE TIME DAWN ARRIVED.
AN OUTBURST OF BIRDS ERUPTED, AND IT WAS IF THE RAIN HAD NEVER BEEN THERE. THE BIRDSONGS WERE THE COURSE OF THE
AIR, A PIECE OF MELODIC MUSIC THAT HYDRATED OUR DESICCATE SOULS. THE CHORALE OF THE BIRDS DRIFTED IN AS EVEN
OCEAN SWIRLS—THEIR MELODY DANCING IN MY MIND. THE BIRDS SWIFTLY SWOOP THROUGH THE CALM BREEZE ACROSS THE
SKIES. I COULD SENSE HUNDREDS OF SPARKLING BIRDS SWOOPING IN THE CHILLED AIR.
THE SOFT SUSURRATION OF THE WIND WAS HEARD INSIDE THE TRAIN. THE WIND WAS NEARLY CALM. THE CALM
AND PEACEFULNESS WAS REFLECTED IN THE BEHAVIOR OF ALL THE TRAVELERS AS THEY APPEARED TO BE RELAXED. THIS SENSE OF
TRANQUIL WAS QUICKLY OVERSHADOWED WITH A SUBTLE CLATTER AS IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRAIN JUST ENTERED A TUNNEL. THE
TRAIN STARTED MEANDERING DOWN ITS NARROW PATH. IT LOOKED DARK, DANK AND GRIMY. THE LIGHTS FLICKERED IN THE
TRAIN CASTING A SINISTER GLOW THROUGHOUT THE PATHWAY OF THE TUNNEL. ABRUPTLY THE TRAIN HALTED, AND EVERYTHING
WAS PITCH WHITE. IT WAS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. THIS PEREGRINATION WAS AN EAR-OPENING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL
TRAVELERS.

Reflective, contented mind : the best possession KRISHNA /12 G
Noah James had always loved picturesque Dallas with its beautiful clear fields. It was a place
where she felt active.
She was a sympathetic, delightful, woman with brown hair and of hazel brown eyes . Her friends
saw her as an attractive, insightful woman . Once, she had even brought a car struck puppy back
from the brink of death by risking her life . That's the sort of woman she was.
Noah walked over to the window and reflected on her beautiful surroundings. The sun shone
brightly in the sky and the birds were chirruping .
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Beth Walker. Beth
was a gloom driven friend with a pessimistic mind. She was not prepared for Beth. Beth said that
she heard about Noah risking her life for the puppy. Beth said “ You haven’t changed a bit. I think
your efforts are kind and heartwarming , but there are many puppies all around the world, most of
them die due to road accidents , lack of food and lack of care and shelter given to them
. So, Isn’t risking your life for a puppy unnecessary ,does it even make a difference ? “ . Noah
looked back, even more calm and while sipping her cup of tea . Noah replied“ Beth what do
you see?” Beth replied “ I see a half glass empty cup of tea. “Noah said “ Well I see
a half glass filled cup of tea .It is your mindset and thought process that actually makes
a difference . The fact that I decided to make a small difference change by saving the life of the
puppy makes a huge difference when compared to me staying back and doing nothing . What I
did inspires others to make a small change just like I did and this can lead to more people realizing
their mistakes and making a difference .Beth nodded . For the first time her eyes finally opened to
understand Noah . Noah proceeded to speak and said “ Be the change you want to see in
the world .”
Then Beth came inside for a nice cup of tea.

"Come on, Sirius, let's go!" Will shouted from the ground. "I don't know where Shiv Shankar 8A
we'll be going but we have to get out of here now!" Suddenly Will began to
hear his father's voice calling out, beginning to shout out the full name of Sirius. "Sirius!
NO! Do not listen to him!" Will called down to the dog hoping that he would
understand what to do. "SIRIUS! COME!" Ben shouted once again. Things had been
going well, Will had gone out counting the stars and had just begun to teach Sirius his
first trick and teach him the others that his father taught he and Megan at such a
young age. Ben had been up through the night working and had asked if he could
take Will to get ice cream for the kids as a gift. As they walked in the warm summer
night, the moon light and stars had been beautiful as Will had taken Sirius for his
nightly walk. Will had begun to teach the dog one of the main tricks that Megan's
father, Marc, had taught him and Will had just begun to show him how to take his
back legs and bring his front legs into his chest. As he turned to walk away from an
odd sound, Will was interrupted by the unexpected barking of the dog. "What's the
matter, Sirius?" Will asked turning to look at the dog. "He's trying to tell you something."
A voice said to his right. "Who's there?" Will asked turning towards the direction of the
voice. "I wonder what number is closer to the sun."
The voice responded seeming to already know the answer. "Who's there?" Will asked
again. "How many feelings do you have?" The voice asked again he had begun to
start to walk closer. "How did you know what I was thinking?" Will asked finally finding
his voice. The boy who had been following Will stepped out from behind a large
oak tree as Will stepped back, Sirius began to bark and growl deeply.
"Why are you stalking me?" Will asked. "To help you." The boy replied. "Help me?" Will
asked confused. "You have no idea what you've just started," the boy replied.
"What?" Will asked. "Sirius is changing, you are changing, this is happening and will
start to change things that you know nothing about." The boy replied."
Changing...what do you mean?" Will asked nervously. "Sirius and yourself began to
change, you are one of the only special people who can keep up with the changes
that will happen to both Sirius and yourself." The boy replied. "What...to be

WHEN I WOKE UP, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN OCEAN.
One morning I woke up in the middle of an ocean. I was on Yahya Nadeem Khatib
a raft and there was an island near me. I hurriedly woke up 8A
and looked around the ocean. I Immediately went to the
island I shouted for help but I heard only the strange sound
of animals. When I woke up this morning I found myself on a
strange island. I don't know where I was at first but after
stepping on the sand and seeing the blue water far away, I
realized that I was on an island. I don't know how I got here
but I need to find a way out. So an idea popped up in my
head. I took my scarf from my neck and found a long
branch that works better for the flag. After I made the flag I
was waiting for any help like a boat or ship. And the help
finally arrived so I waved the flag and the people came to
pick me up and I came back home.
