The Magic Faraway Tree adventure

Last part to story.

The group ran up the beach to the icecream stall. "What shall I have?", said Silky "Look what delicious flavours there are" said Bessie. The group got their icecream's they wanted and sat down under the shade of the tree's near the beach, licking their delicious icecream's. After they had finished their icecream's, they wondered what to do next. So they got up and chased each other around the tree's and up the sand dunes until they were all quite tired. They sat down on the beach and then Tim said, "Look at the canoes over there". And Fanny said "Oh how I would like to ride in the ocean!" Just then, the canoes and the paddler boat drifted into the sea shore by themselves. "Thats amazing" said Silky. The children and Silky, Moonface and the Saucepan Man walked down to the sea. Jo and Bessie got into one canoe, Fanny and Silky got into another, and the Saucepan Man and Moon Face got into a paddler boat. Cousin Tim who didn't want to be left out managed to squeeze into Fanny and Silky's canoe. The children took the oar's and paddled out into the ocean, with the paddler boat that had Saucepan Man and Moon Face not far behind. They rowed around the beach, and it was quite fun sailing across the water, the children seemed to think. Suddenly, the canoes changed into seagull's and the oar's turned into big wings, and the paddler boat the Moon Face and Saucepan Man were riding in turned into a large pelican and the children were amazed! The seagull's and the pelican flapped their wings and flew up into the sky, with the children on their backs, and flew across the land of Nature. The children clung on the birds, and looked at the views around them. They could see the beach where they were playing at, and other things like beautiful waterfalls that turned into rivers and flowed into the lake. They could even see other folk of the land of nature, walking along the paths and going to their homes. The birds swooped lower and flew down to the ground. The children got off the birds, and Moonface and the Saucepan Man got off the pelican and walked back down the path in the land of nature. Jo looked at his watch. It was nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Cousin Tim said that he had enough of the land of nature and wanted to go home. The other's agreed. Life in the land of nature was exciting, but it was also quite exhausting. The children walked back to where they arrived, thanking the kind pixie's on the cute rabbit's for showing them the way back to the hole in the cloud. The children climbed down the ladder of the Faraway Tree and the tree folk, that is Silky, Moon Face and Saucepan Man followed them down. They came to Moon Face's room and Moon Face opened the door. The children were quite tired, so they decided to go home. Moon Face gave them cushions to sit on, and then the children said "good bye" to Silky and Saucepan Man, and then Moonface said "it was nice to have an adventure with the children". The children slid down the slippery slip, through the door at the bottom of the tree and stood up. The squirrel came to pick up their cushions and bring them back to Moon Face. The children ran back through the Enchanted Wood, with the tree's talking to each other. They arrived back home, all of them tired, but excited with the adventure they had in the land of nature. That's the end of the story. The End.

Hi Tim… nice story! I haven’t read this book but guess it’s a children’s book. And I can see that you replaced yourself with one of character in a story – Uncle ‘Tim’. So it’s a magical tree that takes children to different magical Lands huh? The names of Moonface, Silky and The Saucepan Man sounds interesting – just wonder how they look like ^^. I bet you must love this story when you were young.
I don’t know the story of this book, but I can feel that you reflect your dream or imagination into here by replacing one of character with yourself. You know... the Land of the Nature, flying bird-canoe…
It’ll be nice if WE have these kind of tree in our life thou. So we can escape from the real world sometime and experience the dream world – doesn’t matter it’s good or bad.
It’s pity that they had a time limit there – cause there was not much stories about their trip on the Land of the Nature. You know you can add some nature staffs or activities we had when we were young but children in theses days don’t know. Next time, I think you can visit the Land of Winter or Snow - because I found lots of NZ kids don’t know (or had not much chance to see) a SNOW. I love snow…. It’s sad that we don’t have snow in AK. ^^~ well anyway it’s good to see your story.

Hi Tim

Good try and nice story.
I never read this before but I like some of the sentence in this story, it provides good description on the people like here.

"The group got their icecream's they wanted and sat down under the shade of the tree's near the beach, licking their delicious icecream's"

To Yuna
I'm sure you can have much more chance to play snow in New Zealand. From one news today at 6pm. Christchurch have snowfalls in November !!
