Down the Rushing River

"Rapids ahead!" shouted Sam. "Watch out, Ben!" "I'm doing my best," said
Ben, between clenched teeth. Mouse just covered his eyes.

The story so far......The lift has taken the children to the Wild Woods, where they meet Obby, the Obbygobulum. Obby gives them Magic Toadstool Soup in his cave. He tells them about Gong, a wicked Giant. As he talks, crashing noises come from outside. The children escape in the lift- but what has happened to Obby? Now read on......The children in the lift to find out Obby. Sam 's finger was on the magic button. Then, they all looked at Mouse, who tried to look brave. Mouth didn't want to visit the Wild Woods again because the last time had been too scary but he didn't have time to think about it. Sam pressed the button. The door opened. They were in the same green glade as before- but this time, the sun wasn't shining. Everything was very still. "What's this?" said Ben. He picked up a crumpled piece of paper and smoothed it out. "GO HOME GONG!" he read. "It's one of Obby's posters," said Jojo. The green door to Obby's cave hung open on one hinge. Then they ran it. What a mess!!!!!!! "It looks like there's been a struggle," said Ben. "He didn't go quietly, that's for sure," said Jojo. Sam was kicking angrily at a big stone and then the stone moved!!!!!!!!!!!!!The stone is a "turtle". Myrtle know about Obby. He said "Bad news, I'm afraid, Sam. He 's been captured by the Gungees". He tells them about Obby's whereabouts but a long way. "If I were you, I'd use the river, at least for the first part. It's quicker," he said. Then, the children start to find out Obby using the raft. This story has more to follow so I want to try the next story!!
