"The Time Machine"

nce upon a time, there was a girl named Barbara. She lived in Kentucky, 1874. One day while she was doing her chores, there was a big flash of light. And when it stopped, she saw a girl.

Hi, my name is Isabel. What's yours? My name is Barbara. Um, what century am I in? Oh, you are in 1874. WHAT? I came here from 2024. What's it like here? I'm going to be stuck here for a while. The time machine's broken. Oh. Hey, when it's fixed can I see 2024?

I will introduce to 1874. "O.K." said Isabel. All right. Lets get started. There's a place you can't go. That's Enova's side. If we set foot over there, they will throw us in their dungeon. Here's a tree where we get our fresh picked apples, peaches, mangoes, papayas, bananas, and grapes. Here's our garden where we get corn, squash, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. Here is my house. Where? I don't see a house. Oh, it's a dugout. Cool!

"Hey look it's my dad", said Isabel. Hi dad. Isabel, the time machine is fixed! We can go home now! But dad, I don't want to leave Barbara. Well, you have a choice. You can live back in 2024 or you can go home, get your stuff and live with Barbara. It's up to you.

Hmmmm. I want to live with Barbara! Ok. Let's go home and get your stuff. "Barbara, I'll be right back". Said Isabel. So Isabel went back home, got her stuff, and lived with Barbara in 1874. And everybody lived happily ever after.



The End
