Student Writing Mily the Panda

Mily was a panda, in fact she was a black and white, panda like other pandas. But unlike other pandas, Mily was born in the South pole. So listen to this story about how Mily the panda and how she traveled around the world fearlessly facing a polar bear and a snake. So prepare your ears for the best story ever about Mily the panda.

So Mily was born in the south pole and she was wondering how she got there. There was a storm going on but Mily was brave and she took shelter in a cave. She always dreamed of setting out and finding her mother but she was too scared to go out of the cave. But she had to for her survival. So one day she faced her fear and went out of the cave. The snow storm did go for a long time (about a whole day) But it finaly finished. She looked outside and she saw it was better than last time so she decided she was going to find her mother. It was going to be a long journey but she believed she could do it. She was just about to go when she heard a gigantic roar and a polar bear stood infront of her. Mily was about to turn back but then the polar bear jumped over her. There was only one option, she had to run away. So she ran away as fast as she could, and then she saw that there was a stone and a log and a piece of bamboo. So she grabbed the piece of bamboo and then she grabbed the log and placed the log down on the rock. She stood at the end of the log and she waited for the polar bear to come. Then the polar bear appeared in the snow and jumped onto the log . Mily went flying onto a piece of ice. She was lucky that she did not land in the sea. But she would not survive here either for long. Just when she thought all hope was lost she heard a voice, and then she saw a person and a huge ship. At the front of the ship there was a person looking around, he was saying “ I thought I saw a panda” “Don’t be silly” said the captain” “ Wait, what's that it looks like a panda” said the man, “Wait it is!” Said the captain”. “Help!” said Mily “Drop the ladder!” said the captain. As quickly as he could he climbed down the ladder and picked up Mily, then the captain said “Hello, what are you doing here.”“Um well my name is Mily and I need to find my mother” said Mily. “Well I can help you where do you want to go”? “I think I want to go to china” said Mily. “Okay to China!” said the captain.

One hour later…

“Thank you for taking me to China”said Mily. “Your welcome” said the captain, said the captain. So Mily set off once again and found a place full of bamboo. “I bet there must be a panda in here” said Mily, then she saw something slithering around. She saw a snake coming after her, so she ran away but she crashed into some bamboo and the snake nearly got squished. Then Mily had an idea. She bumped into another and it squished the snake, and then Mily jumped onto the bamboo and heard a sound. The sound she heard was a panda. Finally she was home and they lived happily ever after.

The end!
