It is time for the final instalment of Frank and Fred the reindeer will they get to go to the Bahamas? Will Francesca drive them bonkers? Read on to find out. Don’t forget to complete your story and post it on Dojo. Remember to use your adjectives and adverbs to add detail to your characters to help bring them to life. Conjunctions will also help you to add detail as well.
Frank the reindeer lived in the freezing, dark North Pole in an old, run-down stable with his Mum, Dad and annoying sister Francesca. One day, Frank received a letter in the post from his brother Fred. He quickly and excitedly opened the letter and it said …
Dearest Brother Frank, I know you are getting annoyed with Francesca, as she keeps stealing your carrots and I want you to be happy and ready for Christmas. Would you like to come and join me in my luxury stable? We have fresh straw every day and an endless supply of carrots and treats. Please let me know and I will send a sleigh to collect you. From Fred (the warm, relaxed reindeer).
Frank felt excited but worried. He had a difficult decision to make.
Should he go and have fun in the warmth with Fred or stay here in a run-down stable with his annoying carrot-stealing sister? Thud! Frank heard something heavy land on the snow-carpeted ground outside his window. Quickly, he looked out his window and saw a tropical looking sleigh with a reindeer in a loud Hawaiian shirt behind the wheel. It was Fred! In a flash Frank’s mind was made up. He threw a few essentials in his old, tatty backpack, jumped out of the window and clambered into the sleigh beside Fred. Just as they started to take off, Francesca ran out the aged, wooden door to see what was going on. Frank smiled broadly and waved as they flew swiftly skyward. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and crash and the sleigh lurched franticly in the cold, crisp air.
Frank handed the controls to Fred and slowly, cautiously climbed out of the sleigh and onto the runner. He was terrified but he kept on inching along, towards the front of the craft where the magnificent, magical engine sat. Once there the brave buck pulled out a mysterious bag and carefully blew the glittery contents over the contraption. The sleigh settled and started to fly smoothly once more, but they were still not out of the woods as they had dropped so low Fred had to swerve continuously to avoid the tops of the trees.
As soon as there was a clearing visible on the ground Fred landed the sleigh and both reindeer staggered out and sat on the ground. Whilst they calmed down and stopped shaking both reindeer made an important decision. They jumped into the sleigh and in no time had reached their destination. Fred leapt out of the sleigh and banged on the door in front of him. Slowly it opened and three long, rounded snouts peered around the edge of the door. Hastily, Fred ushered the occupants out of the building and into the sleigh and off they flew, high into the sky. Fred and Frank looked back to the passengers in the back seat and shouted, “Merry Christmas everyone”, to Mum, Dad and Francesca as they shot off towards a very different, warm Christmas in the Bahamas.
