Jack and the beanstalk writing

Angelica and the beanstalk


This is my narrative/recount about Jack and that beanstalk, but it is better.

It was a family dinner at home and my papa was meant to plant potatoes but instead he planted a huge thing. Read on if you want to know what he planted. Here's what happened, and man it was not funny at all. 

On Monday morning papa was going to plant potatoes until my cousin decided to pull a huge prank. He was going to swap out the potatoes seeds for beans. I told him not to because it was our family dinner tomorrow but he didn’t care. Pretty much his plan was to wait until papa took his nap and swap out the seeds. To be honest I didn’t believe that he was going to do it because of our overprotective mum. She keeps an eye on everything. She even hooked up a camera man to come and put a security camera in every single room. So there was zero percent chance he could do it. Until something else happened. Grandpa actually decided to take a nap in the living room, and everyone knows that mum puts fifthteen cameras just for extra protection. So there was absolutely no chance of swapping it. Until he got me to do it. At first I didn’t want to do it, but he convinced me. I know it wasn’t kind but it was funny then.

The trick was that I had to give him his afternoon tea and that is when I slipped out the beans for the potato seeds. It was one more minute to give it to him. At that moment I quickly snatched the beans and gave the tea to papa. I walked over there and the floor was really loud that papa woke up. He had his tea and walked crazy outside. 

We waited a couple of minutes so that we saw grandpa plant it. After his tea he walked over to the vegetable garden and planted it. We noticed that grandpa put a lot in there. In fact he did the whole entire pack. I thought to myself that something would go wrong but it didn’t. It was our annual family dinner and grandpa went out to check on the potatoes but we quickly stopped him because he would notice that we swapped it. 

The next day I went outside and saw a giant beanstalk. I thought that beanstalks were only in fairy tales, but that’s when I noticed that it lead all the way up to the clouds. I didn’t tell anyone, not even my cousin. Also if I told grandpa he would be disappointed at me and I would get a big grounding.

So I decided to go and see what was up there myself. Then I grabbed all my gear and told mum I was going to my friends Kiarahs house to work on our script. She believed me. Grandpa would also sleep till 5 in the afternoon on Sundays. I tried to get a good grip but it was slimy and rough. 

When I started climbing I thought that I was going to die if I fell. So I just tried to block that away from my mind. At first I thought it would be lots of money. Or it could be a giant just like Jack and the beanstalk, but just when I reached the top my foot slipped and I only got a glimpse of the top and I wish I was a bit more careful.

I fell to the ground but luckily my mum and her old bed out and I landed on it. I didn’t tell anyone, so I quickly rushed to the shed and grabbed grandpa's axe. Then I started to cut and cut and then it just disappeared.After that I never wanted to prank again.

My caving experience narrative

Have you gone caving before?Oh well I’ll tell you that you should always go to the instruction that they give or else, well you’ll find out soon. Caving is something terrifying and really fun to do if you listen I guess. I’m going to tell you something before you read on.Always and I mean always prepare for the worst because you may think that a cave is okay,but it really isn't. 

On a sunny Saturday my cousin came over to ask me if I wanna go caving with him and friends. At first I thought he wanted something until he showed me a photo of our Auntie doing it. I thought he photoshopped it, but wait there’s more.He said if I go with him and his friends we would get fifty percent of it because it was their tenth anniversary.Beside we don’t even have to pay because apparently my cousin was friends with the son’s manager. So I jumped up and yelled yes. I was second guessing myself because I would usually say no but why not. Also it was the best caving scent. It was the Waitomo caving place.

On our way I was sweating my palms off because what if I fall or am I even brave enough,like all of that stuff. When we arrived there I dreamt of it being all cool and exciting, but it was just a big hole and people lining up to go down in groups. I saw that there was a lot of equipment to wear. Things like helmets and rope like all that stuff.

Walked inside to see what we were doing and something more like someone popped out of nowhere. She gave me a jump scare on the perpisis. She said that we had to go to the corner and put on our gear. First was the harness then the helmet with the flashlight I mean was really necessary. Then a horn blew. The manager's son said if you are 8 and over please come to the hole. 

We walked over and oh boy there were only three groups.After the manager’s son started to explain the instructions but I didn’t pay attention at all. Until a huge noise came down from the hole. It sounded like a lion mixed with a bird. I know right!

Then I took a peek down and oh my gosh it was so dark and I think I should have just listened to the instructions instead of wondering around. After looking I had just forgotten that no-one knew that I was gone. So I quietly rushed back so that nobody knew that I was gone anywhere. 

Guess what you’ll never believe what happened, the manager's son called me first to put my harness on. I didn’t even know what to do even when my cousin was showing me a video he took of the manager’s son. Anyway I just acted like I knew how to do it until he walked away to another group of three. He whispered in my ear that I needed to demonstrate it. So what I did was that I called out my cousin to show me the video he took and oh man that looked so hard to do but at the same time scaring. At this point I didn’t even wish I came. 

Once all the equipment was on they sent me down. I had no choice but to walk backwards down the whole to explore the cave. On my first step down I also slipped off the wall of rusty old black rocks. While I was descending the cave I could hear rocks collapsing down and that sounded scary. Then I saw a group of bats that were soaring through the air.After about 7 minutes I could smell clay and it was so disgusting. 10 minutes later I finally reached the ground and straight away I saw rocks.

I was wandering around for at least 15 minutes and still I saw nobody.Then I saw a glow worm and moved to wards it until I got bitten by a bat. I started feeling weird and I tripped over a rock and went into the water. I was so lucky that I had a life jacket with me. While I was almost about to drown I saw a beam of light and started to swim towards it. When I reached it I saw my cousin coming down and it turned out that I saw all the way back at the start. 

As soon as I went out I paid and rushed to the car with my cousin. Then I told him I am not going to go caving ever again.

This is my caving narrative and I hope you enjoy
