POLLY THE PICKER - Bethany

“Come up here and tidy your bedroom, there’s snot everywhere!”

screeched Polly’s mother. Polly was picking her nose in the

downstairs living room and yelled back, “NO!”. Polly was a plump

girl who hated exercise and lazed around licking her snot, which fell

from her face everyday. Despite her age, she was in a lower class,

for all she did in lessons was stare out the window and wish she

could have her own way. But she couldn’t, her parents tried to

persuade her to stop this revolting habit. Polly was annoyed by this

continued pestering and so, she decided to dash free and leave her

home forever.

Polly found packing her bag very hard work, for everything was

covered in slippery, slimy and horrible snot. In the end, she stuffed

anything she could find into her rotten rucksack because she was

boiling with fury at her mean parents. As she ran down the stairs,

she slipped on a gloopy bogey and fell all the way to the bottom

with a crash, bang, wallop. Despite the noise and the clatter, Polly

was able to tiptoe out into the freezing cold night. She was as free as

a snotty bird!

Polly had mixed feelings about going out for she was frustrated at

how her stupid mother and her father had been behaving.

Suddenly, she remembered that she could blow giant snot bubbles,

so she wondered whether she might fly as far away as possible

inside a bubble.Blowing and blowing and blowing she managed to

prepare a humongous, gloopy bubble which she accidentally put the

whole village into. In an extraordinary turn of events, the monstrous

bubble started floating upwards and trapped the villagers in. Inside

It was like being In sick because green snot dripped from the top of

the bubble.

Polly couldn’t believe her eyes, she was seeing her snot bubble

disappear into the distance. What was she going to do? She was

flabbergasted. She had never in her lifetime come across

a gigantic bubble. As quick as flash what did she do? Well she did a

disgusting thing that I bet you wouldn’t want to do.She picked a

huge slimy bogey and shaped it into a arrow (horrible right).With all

her might and strength she threw the sloppy arrow at the ugly, slimy

bubble.All of a sudden, there was a loud popping noise the

gruesome bubble had popped.

Polly was so very scared and when I say very scared I mean

petrified! She stood there and all to soon she dashed home. Just

then she heard from behind her, shouts, “WHO DID THIS?”

She ran so fast she nearly tripped over the snot that continued to fall

from her nose. Finally she collapsed onto her snotty bed, her

parents came running into the room exclaiming, “we were so

worried about you!” `It was then that Polly realised they still loved

her. Eventually her mother and father ordered her to layer the floor

with tissues so they didn’t have to keep on cleaning the carpet. Polly

thought this was a good idea and did exactly what they said.
