DING! It was the start of a normal day at Monkey Puzzle School. Lizzy and Charlotte (her best friend) were walking into school where Elliot and Charlie were fighting, “Let’s just go around them” whispered Charlotte. As they walked around them Charlie pushed Elliot and he fell on Lizzy. “GET OFF” screamed Lizzy “YOUR TOO HEAVY!”

Elliot rolled off Lizzy and flew at Charlie. “Are you ok little sis?” asked Luke “Yes” Lizzy replied.

DING! It was time for geography. “Hello class” Miss Bramble said. “Today we’re going to be learning about how volcanos erupt”. Miss Bramble walked loudly to the board, she switched it on and sat back in her chair. The news reporter said “The dormant volcano in Tiger Blue is going to erupt very soon after 101 years of not erupting.”

DING! It was the end of class. “That volcano hasn’t erupted in years” protested Lizzy “we should check it out after school.”

“NO!” Charlotte said sharply, “It’s too dangerous.”

”Don’t be such a spoil sport.”

“Well it’s too dangerous to go on our own.”

“Fine we will ask Luke if he will come with us then if your so scared Charlotte.”

Later that night. “I can’t believe you actually came with us Luke” Lizzy said surprisingly.

“Well I wanted to see it anyway” explained Luke. Twenty minutes after. “We are finally at the top” said Charlotte trying to catch her breath, “that took forever”.

As the three children were looking in the crater of the volcano they heard a noise behind them “What was that?” whispered Lizzy

“I don’t know” replied Luke “I’ll go and check it out” Luke went behind a big rock and said “What are you doing here?! “

I can ask you the same question” Charlie said aggressively.

“I asked first!” shouted Luke.

“Fine, I’m here because I wanted to see the volcano. Now your turn.”

“I’m here because Lizzy wanted me to come so if anything happens I can protect them” Luke said triumphantly.

“Well that isn’t exactly why I wanted you to come” started Lizzy but she got interrupted by a sound behind her.

She turned around to find Elliot. “OMG WHY IS EVERYBODY HERE IT WAS JUST MEANT TO BE CHARLOTTE, LUKE AND I. NOT YOU AND CHARLIE!!!”

“Lizzy calm down” Charlotte calmly said.

“Why are you here Elliot?” asked Charlotte.

“I’m here because I wanted to see the circus, why do you think I’m here?” Just then the earth began to shake and the children fell in the crater of the volcano.

“Where are we?” All the children asked. It was a smoky room, little fires burnt everywhere

Out of the darkness a red dragon loomed in front of them. “What are you doing down here?” asked the dragon. None of the children could speak. “I’ll send you back up but let this be a lesson to you.”

That day the children learned a lesson to leave it to the experts and don’t put yourself in dangerous situations.
