Yaakov's 1st Draft

Harold and Renee’s WILD Journey


Not too long ago, and not to far away, there lived a rich family on a 2000-acre piece of land, in the country. They were a small family, but very snobby, and always treated everyone like trash. Their names were Harold the father, Renee the mother, Curtis the son, and Vanessa the daughter. They were all awful people, but the worst was the evil daughter, Vanessa. She was the full on bully of her school. Her parents were the owners of the biggest wood chopping organization in the world. One day while the kids were at the school...

“Hey Curtis!!! I just had the greatest idea!!!” Vanessa yelled across the mess hall.

As Curtis, the biggest and strongest kid in school was walking past the kids to get to his sister, kids started to stare at him as if he were a boy with a bird’s body and a pig’s head. “What are you looking at?!” he blurted furiously.

“Nothing.” said the kid.

When Curtis made it to Vanessa he asked her, “What is it?”

“I will, jeez, don’t spas!” she said with an attitude. “OK, so here is the plan. Tomorrow night, we’ll go up to our parent’s room, and take them by their bed out into the forest, and leave it there. Then we’ll have the whole has and the cash to ourselves, and our parents will never find their way back. Good plan, right?”

“Yah, definitely!!” Curtis replied.

“Good, so remember, we have to act all cute and fuddy duddy to butter them up. Then, tomorrow night, we’ll do it.”

That is exactly what they did. The night after, as explained in Vanessa’s plan, Curtis and Vanessa took their parent’s bed out into the woods. Thanks to Curtis’s great thinking, he took a few stones out of the front of the house and marked their trail with them, so they could find their way home. When they got home, the first things they did were first, breaking all of the rules that their parents had set for them. Then second, they decided to invite everyone they knew to a party that lasted two days. It was full of fun, games, and all you can eat buffets. Those kids knew how to make a party rock.

Meanwhile, in the forest, Harold and Renee woke up, and were in a huge state of shock. They had never been in the forest before.

“Who do you think did this?” asked Renee.

“Curtis and Vanessa.” Harold said without even a moment of hesitation.

“What makes you think that?” Renee quickly questioned.

“Well, you know the moving in our bed last night.”

“Yes.”

“Well, who would have had access to our bed but them.”

“I’m not sure I follow.”

“How about those whispers. We hear them whispering all the time. If you heard it, you would have known right away it was them.”

“OK. But let’s stop thinking about that and maybe we should try and get out of this place!!!”

So, the parents wondered for hours and hours, until they saw a shadow of something that wasn’t them.

“Who is there?” Harold asked with a slight sound of fear when he said it.

Then, it moved again. They thought it was a person, but then, two little frogs hopped out of the bushes.

“Hello.” they said. Then, the parents knew that these frogs were the Frog Prince and Princess.

“Hello.” said the parents with a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you guys are here. We were worried that we would be here without any friendly company.”

“Same here. Do you guys have any clue where we are?”

“No. We were hoping that you did. Anyway, it is good that we found each other, otherwise we probably wouldn’t have enough brains to figure out a way out of here.”

“That is true. Well, we’re all looking for the same thing. A way out of here. So lets try and think of a way to get in contact with someone outside of the forest.

They all sat, for hours, trying to think of a way to contact the outside world. Then it came to Harold’s mind.

“Why don’t we try and build a fire.” he exclaimed.

“How is that going to help us?!” the others yelled furiously.

“Why don’t you let me finish? When we build the fire, we will get the bark of a tree, and then we will send signals with the fire’s smoke. It always works in the movies. there is no harm in trying.”

“The man has a point you know. The movies are never wrong.” the Frog Princess mentioned.

They all gave it a try. They built the fire, got the bark off the trees, and started to try and send signals with the smoke,as said in Harold’s plan. They kept going for hours and hours but none showed up until...

“Ah ha. I found them. You people have been signaling for hours and I’ve been searching for hours to find you. Please come with me. I shall take you to my house, I might even have you for dinner.” the mysterious man said.

“See, I told you my plan would work.” Harold whispered as they walked with the man.

The man wasn’t really their hero of all time. He was actually the wicked wizard. If you were fund in his forest by him, you were killed. If you managed to escape and you tell the cops about him he would kill you. If you got in the way of one of his plots to kill someone, you were killed. This was a man yo did not want to get in the way of.

When the gang got to the man’s house, they all made themselves at home. Harold plopped himself in front of the T.V. and started to watch the news. Renee went to the kitchen and helped herself to a cookie. The Frog Prince and Princess got a tour of the house.

“You may all make you selves at home. You may stay here for the night and then I will escort you home tomorrow morning. I hope you enjoy the place. It is quite relaxing, dinner is at 7:00. Your rooms are upstairs. Frogs, your room is on the left. Parents, on your right.”

“Thank you sir. We have very much to thank you for. We hope we didn’t get in your way.” they all said thankfully

“Oh, don’t worry the pleasure. I am delighted to have you for dinner.” the man chuckled sinisterly.

The four guests went up to their rooms and hung out there until...

“Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?” Renee asked as she started to break a sweat.

“No. I can feel it too.”Harold replied.

Then they noticed that there was a ring of fire surrounding them.

“Hey, that wasn’t there two seconds ago. How did it get there?”

“We can’t worry about that now! What we can worry about is how to get out of here!”

“Do ya have anymore brilliant ideas of how to get out of here?!”

“No!”

“It is getting closer!”

“Do you think I’m blind?!”

“Give me one kiss before we die. Please!”

“O.K.”

They kissed and in the middle of their passionate kiss they were killed in the fire. The same horrifying thing happened to the little frogs. It was all a part of the wicked wizard’s plan.

“I like my steaks well done. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That never gets old. ”

And they all lived happily never after.
