A_SOUND_OF_WONDER - Collection 4

Are you a CBSE student?
If yes you will know the new English pattern they had introduced during our time and ..
Do you remember we had a chapter called TIME MACHINE in our English book and following that we had to write a story on TIME MACHINE as an assignment.

Guess my age…I was around 11. I wrote a 4 page story on TIME MACHINE. The title i had given was
"A SOUND OF WONDER"
And now here is that story dedicated to you...........

.........................................................................................................

I saw a board where it had written that they will take us to the future, we must name an animal which we want to shoot.

TYME SEFARI INC
SEFARIS TU ANY YEER EN THE FUTURE.
YU NAIM THE ANIMALL
WEE TAEK YU THAIR
YU SHOOT ITT.

(It was only English words written in different spellings)

Their fees was ten lakhs. I thought, it was a large amount. But I paid as I wanted to go on a safari. There were some rules and regulations while going . We must shoot only one animal on our own wish. We can select the animal while we are in the future. But I named the animal before. The safari leader was Mr. Travis. We went into a room, made our dresses sterlise to kill bacteries. Then we entered into the time machine.

The time machine was very dark inside. There were no other passengers with us. We traveled & traveled & traveled & traveled. day-night-day-night (went). Then we went into the future of A.D. 3055. We parked our time machine near a vehicle. Then we got inside another machine.

At first I thought it was a simple vehicle which looked like a car, a van, a bus, a lorry all mixed. But when we started to travel, I noticed that it was a ‘flying machine’. I was surprised. I then came to know the name of that machine. The name was ‘CAVABULO ELECTRONIC MACHINE’. It was written on that vehicle with different words, ‘CAVABULO ELACTRANIK MECHAIN’.

I saw many other time machines parked and many machines flying. He took me to a place which looked like a forest, a town, a city, a village. Oh God! What a confusion!! I can’t say what that place was. All together it was like a big nest. All the houses were big, made of iron. (In some special building, the main room was made of iron and the rooms which were attached to the main room (bedroom, kitchen etc) were made of magnets, which were hugging each other. But it looked like a full attached house).

There were many computers many roots, working. Many shops with ice creams, so cold, so tasty. I wanted those but I was not able to because Mr.Travis have instructed me not to go off of the machine. He took me to a large compound. We went inside. There were many roots asking for the entry fee, name and many other details only to the people who were living in that nest. But for us it was free, because I found that they were not ale to see us as we vanished.

We went through and through till we heard a sound, a sound of roar, a sound of bark, a sound of a cat and so on. Oh no! this is also confusing. But one thing I was able to notice that the thing which I saw, most of them were mixture of many kinds. Then there came a sound, a sound which would be the largest sound in this universe. The land shaked. I closed my ears and eyes too……….

Then came a large monster. I thought so! But no! There was nothing. Then Travis gave me a microscopic specs to wear. My god! I was able to see that mammal. It was very smaller even than ant even though I saw in that specs. I became very afraid. My legs, my hand, my body all shivered. My heart beats counting faster and faster and faster. I thought it would be big, but it was small. So my suspension was growing. My body shivered more, my heart beats more faster.

Then… haaaaaaaaaaa! We heard a sound at the back. It was … it was the same animal larging, growing, growing and growing till it could reach the moon. I became tentioned. But Travis controlled me and gave me a gun a big machine gun, a big iron gun with iron steel, poison and all mixed - a big bullet to kill such a huge, huge and huge ghost. It was difficult to kill that as it was becoming small, big, small, big after every minute. So we became ready. When it was growing big Travis started ‘one…two.. three’. ‘Dum’! A large sound. What was it?
It was the monster, that same huge monster which fell on the ground. It had died. I have successed.

Then I looked it like a scientist. How it was its face like a dinosaur, its leg like dog’s, its eye like cat, hand was like the legs of birds. I was astonished and afraid. Then Travis appreciated me and shook hands. But there was a thinking, what was the name of that beautiful animal. Travis replied me then. That cute name was ‘Zumanzy’.

He took a photo of me and that Zumanzy. Then we returned safely to our place. I framed that photo and I hanged to the wall. It was an unforgeteble incidence for me and I think that it must be an unforgeteble incidence if any one of you would have went there.

With this ends the story thank you.Thank you everybody for listening so patiently.

So what did u think about this?

I felt proud when my English teacher(Mrs.Meenakshi) told me to read this aloud in front of the class. I was on cloud 9.

But i'm sure nobody in the class expect me and my teacher would have understood!!!
