Disclaimer: This is one sample story given to you. Students are expected to write the answer using their own creative and imaginative skills.

I am curly locks. I have curly hair. One day I decided to roam around the forest near my cottage. After a few steps, I saw a beautiful and small cottage. I got very happy to see that. I went inside the cottage and saw nobody there. I was very surprised and also scared to see that there was no one in the house.

I went into the kitchen and saw three bowls of porridge. I was very hungry, so I tasted from all the bowls but I liked the porridge only from the tiny bowl as it was just fine for me to eat. I was feeling very tired, so I thought to take rest for a while. I found three beds in the bedroom. I tried to fit in all the three beds but it wasonly the tiny bed where I felt comfortable.

I took a nap and then after half an hour, I saw three bears in front of me. They all were staring at me. I got goose bumps looking at them I thought of nothing thereafter and just ran off from the place.

It was a very adventurous experience for me. I enjoyed it and would love to visit the place again.
