I woke up in this small bag, together with millions of my brothers and sisters, still wondering what it would feel like to go outside and live like one of you. Ever since I was created, I have drawn a plan in my head to get out of this situation. I don’t want to be like my siblings – waiting for “The Hand” to poke inside the bag and grab them firmly to finally gain their freedom. No, not me!

One day, while the sun is up, I saw a tiny hole. It was actually big enough for me to fit in. I took the chance of leaving. I took the risk. It was successful! I was finally outside!

The wind, then, blew me to a farm. There, I met a cow. I was guessing its name was Bessie because it’s what was written on her name tag. I asked her for directions but the cow treated me like I wasn’t there.  She ignored me!

Nearby, I saw a kid walking. I went in that direction to ask that kid where I am, but the kid acted like the cow. He didn’t notice me! 


Then I saw the kid irritating a bird on a perch. The kid went away before I even got closer. I went to the bird and asked if she was okay. ‘Still didn’t notice me!


I felt really sad. Then I realized that perhaps to them, I’m just a speck – tiny and worthless.


It was Christmas and all the children hugged their brothers and sisters. I wish I could hug my brothers and sisters, too! But they are all still in Neverland. I decided to go back inside the tiny bag to see my brothers and sisters.


My siblings hugged me while asking all these questions - why I left, how I got back, and other stuff.  They were happy to see me back in the bag. We celebrated all night long.


The next day, I got picked up by "The Hand" and got thrown on Wendy. Suddenly, Wendy felt lighter and began to fly.  I realized now what happened to my siblings who got picked by “The Hand!” We can make people fly!

Wendy felt so happy to fly. I was, too.


To you, I may be just a speck, but to Wendy and my other friends in Neverland, I know that I am more. I am so happy to know that I’m not worthless at all.

Can You Guess What I Am?

Hi, I'm Alex and I wrote this short Cinderella scene from the mouse's point of view.


I'm hiding inside my house in Rat Town when I heard a sad cry.  I went outside to check who it was.  The voice sounded familiar to me.

"Cinderella is that you? Why are you crying?" I asked. She said nothing as if she didn’t notice that I was there. 

She ran outside so I followed her. It was dark outside so I opened my lamp. I ran fast to catch up with her. That’s when I noticed that a few farm friends were also running with me. 

Then suddenly a light came towards me. No, I was wrong! I thought it’s coming towards Cinderella! I quickly ran towards her to try to protect her. A big ball of light flashed in front of us. Wow! I thought it was the Prince, but I was wrong yet again!

It was a fat old lady with a spoon. The fat lady came towards Cinderella. She was singing and waving her spoon around.  Then she waved her spoon and pointed it to me! I got scared and started to run and tried to find a hiding place. TOO LATE!

She blasted a little light into my mouth. I had no choice but swallow it. Yuck! I could feel pins and needles on my legs. I began to grow bigger and bigger. I could see my mummy from here! 

Oh no! My worst nightmare had come true! I turned into a human servant or as the fat lady says, the Coachman! 

MY other friends turned into a horse or a pie. And finally, Cinderella…Wow! look at her! She looks beautiful with that long white and sparkly gown!

What a night!
