THE LIGHTHOUSE IN MY DREAM<br />
Once upon a time there was a girl called Chloe. She<br />
lived in a little cottage with her family. She had no<br />
friends.<br />
Luckily, they were moving to The Lighthouse.<br />
The Lighthouse is a famous monument in the city! So<br />
that meant Chloe could make new friends. Chloe and<br />
her family lived close to the lighthouse to make sure<br />
the light was on all the time.<br />
The next day Chloe was turning eight. Her mum<br />
Judy was very nice, so she wanted to invite the other<br />
kids! But Chloe didn’t know when she woke up there<br />
were three kids in front of her. Their names were Mia,<br />
Emma and Zoey.<br />
So after the party they went for a picnic on the<br />
beach. Chloe, Mia, Emma and Zoey believed in Lily<br />
Red. They always wished they could meet Lily Red.<br />
Suddenly a flash came from the other side of the<br />
beach! They were so scared, but Mia told Emma,<br />
Chloe and Zoey, “We need to be really brave now to<br />
make sure the beach is safe.” So they went together!<br />
When they went to the other side of the beach,<br />
they saw Lily Red. They were so excited and Lily Red<br />
wanted to stay with them. So Chloe and her friends<br />
told Lily Red that she could stay with them for the<br />
night. Lily Red was delighted to stay. They had a<br />
slumber party!<br />
In the slumber party, they had a pillow fight. “It<br />
was amazing,” said Lily Red. A big flash came from<br />
the lighthouse. Chloe went to check if everything was<br />
okay.<br />
Suddenly, Mr John’s torch battery died. Chloe<br />
wanted to check if her dad was fine. Lily Red, Chloe<br />
and her friends went to see if Mr John was okay. They<br />
were frightened but they were brave enough to go.<br />
Accidentally they bumped into Mr John. They were<br />
shocked.<br />
Mr John greeted them and they felt better. Mr<br />
John asked Lily Red if she could help fix the light. “My<br />
pleasure,” said Lily Red.<br />
“I have to go,” said Lily Red.<br />
“Wait!” said Chloe. “We all want to know your<br />
true identity.”<br />
Lily Red said, “This needs to be kept as a secret.”<br />
“Okay, we understand,” said the girls.<br />
“See you next time, girls!”<br />
