The Cake Mixer


Before 

The mixer was fast and the kids tried to stop it then a unicorn came.


After

“BIZZZ!!”  went the cake mixer “ it's too loud, make it stop!!!” cried Luca. “ I'm trying to!” shouted  Ella. 

A few minutes later the cake mixer went dead silent “ what did you do?!”  said Luca “ nothing, it just stopped.” Whispered Ella.

BABOOM! “ Hello, hello, thank you, thank you.” said a voice from the fog in the distance “ COUGH COUGH! Who's there?”  screeched Ella 

“ Me Unicorn!”


Reflection:
