One day I was walking in the woods with my friend Kirsty. We were having a very good time. Then all the trees were shaking furiously, laughter filled the air, and right behind us a tree fell down and almost hit us! We were so scared we couldn't move. More trees fell down. I screamed. A bush moved and little men only 3 inches tall with axes ran towards us. 'Woodcutters!" Kirsty screamed. The little men froze, but everything else continued. The little men yelled "Halt!" and everything stopped. The men looked at us and left. We sat on the fallen tree behind us. Then without warning, the tree rose. Kirsty and I were both sitting near the top and managed to scramble onto the branches before it was impossible. Shrieks of laughter could be heard, but it died out as Kirsty opened her mouth to talk. "We have to get out of here!" she wailed. Then the tree we were in started to shake. "Hold on!" I screamed. The tree fell and Kirsty I ran all the way out of the woods.

My sister went into the woods with her friend Rachel and then after a few minutes, the trees started shaking, we heard laughter, and trees started to fall. Not too long after, my sister and Rachel came out and four of us ran home.
