Fractured Fairy Tale
WALT: recraft a traditional fairytale by changing characters, settings, main events and ideas but still making sure that the bone-structure of the fairy tale can be recognised.
Nomairangi and The Giant Sun Flower
Two years ago in the countryside of Orakau, their lived a ramshackled farm. On that farm lived a mother and her daughter named Nomairangi. The farm was so poor that they only had one pig. One day the mother told Nomairangi to sell their pig for money or food at the market. 
On the way to the market she found an odd man dressed in blue. The odd man showed Nomairangi five magic flower beans to trade for her pig, she decided to make the trade. When Nomairangi got home her mother was so angry at her that she threw the magic sunflower beans out the window and sent Nomairangi to bed without supper.
The next morning outside the window was a huge sunflower stretching past the clouds all the way to the sky. Nomairangi climbed to the top and saw a magical land in the clouds and she also saw a huge castle on the land. 
Inside the castle there was a small rooster sitting on a nest “Take me with you,” the rooster said to Nomairangi, “I’m a special rooster because I lay golden eggs.”
Nomairangi grabbed the rooster and headed for the sunflower, behind her she heard a very loud grumbling “Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum!!” a giant yelled as he chased after Nomairangi.
Nomairangi climbed down the sunflower as fast as she could. The giant climbed down behind her. When Nomairangi got to the bottom she quickly grabbed an axe and chopped down the flower. The giant had to quickly climb to his castle or he would of crashed to the ground.
Nomairangi and her mother used the golden eggs to buy a mansion and they were never hungry ever again. They lived happily ever after.
The End
Kia Ora Nomairangi :)

ReplyDeleteHey Nomairangi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Fractured fairy tale, that was very interesting I really thought that was a good piece of writing.
To improve your writing I'll give you a little tip, when your writing your stories you can maybe add more speaking bits so that the characters could sound more alive.
Well any ways I really enjoyed your piece of writing can't wait to see the next piece of awesome writing. :P
