Angie and I were bored on a rainy day. We went to the attic and found a snow globe. We shook it and we went inside. Suddenly, we were trapped, but we were happy because it was snowing. After we were walking around the snow globe, we found a Christmas tree. We had an idea to decorate a tree with red ornaments, since we couldn't find pink, and added a yellow star. As soon as we were done we were hungry and wanted some candy. We got some candy and soon we were full. After that we were tired, so then we slept. The next day we woke up and we saw a snowman who was going to help us. He said to shake the tree. So we shook the tree and we saw that we were back in the attic. I will never go back there again!

            One day my mom and dad told me that I had to do these trials to get more money. There were nine trials. The last one was the snow globe trial. In my room I saw a switch next to a snow globe. I flicked the switch, and then I teleported into the snow globe! In the snow globe I saw an elf. I asked the elf, "what is your name?" "Kwame," said the elf. I said to Kwame, "where is the weakest point in this snow globe?" Kwame answered, "the roof is the weakest part." "Come on, let's break the snow globe," I said. Throw, pow, punch, break. Yes, we did it! There was a lot of money! Kwame and I went home. My parents were very proud because I finished the trials, and I am happy to have a new friend...even if he's an elf! I hope he never leaves me.

          I was looking through my attic and I found a small snow globe, so I shook it and I was teleported inside! I was in a small snowy forest. I found a rock and sat on it to think. I thought if I get out of the forest I could find someone who could help me. I really wanted to get out of the snow globe. When I finally got out of the forest, I saw a house but no one was home. It was a very small home, so I explored the house and then I saw a note. I read the note and it said: I am the leprechaun! If you catch me, you'll be free. After that, I looked and looked for the leprechaun all over the snow globe and when I found him, he ran back into the forest. I went after him. When I finally caught the leprechaun, I was instantly in my room. I was so happy that I was back home. I hope I never see a snow globe again!

      One day Maria and I wanted to get a candy cane, but we saw a snow globe on the way to the store. We picked it up and we shook it. Then we were inside the snow globe! We looked around to see what was there. We saw snow, mountains, and an elf on the shelf. We picked up the snow and we had a snow fight. After playing we tried to get out, but we couldn't. I said to the elf, can you help use your magic to get us out of the snow globe? He said yes, and he shook the globe three times and we got teleported to our home. My wish is to never shake a snow globe again.

     One day I wanted to find something to do. I looked in the attic and I found a snow globe. I picked it up but I got teleported inside. I looked around and I saw Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer. I went over to him and then we had a snowball fight. It was really fun. I then asked him how to get out. He pointed to a small gingerbread house, so I went over to the gingerbread house and there was a gingerbread man. He told me how to get out. He said to do the hokey-pokey, so I did the hokey-pokey, and then I was in my room. I wished to never get trapped in a snow globe ever again.

     One day I was playing with my sister on a snowy day. I wanted a snow globe so I went up to the attic and found a snow globe. So I shook it and the next thing I knew I was inside it! It was cool! I met a reindeer named Buddy. We became friends. Buddy was really nice. She had a red nose like Rudolph. She was also wearing a cute Santa hat. I told her what happened. Buddy said it was okay. We had so much fun! First, we made gingerbread cookies. Then we met Santa. Buddy gave me a present. I told her I missed my family. She told me I just needed to touch her antlers two times, so I did. After that I was back at home safe and sound. Every day after that, I always said "Hi" to Buddy and she always said "hi" back. I hope I will never shake a snow globe ever again.

          Once I was bored on a rainy day. I wanted to decorate my house for Christmas. My mom got the decorations down from the attic. I found a small snow globe inside an old box. It looked special. But when I shook it, I was sent inside of it! I saw a gingerbread house with a PS5 inside of it so I walked over to it and I started playing Fortnite on it. But a few minutes later, I was getting hungry so I turned off the PS5 and went outside. I looked around and I saw a candy factory, so I immediately bolted! By the time I got there my legs felt like they were screaming at me! Anyway, I walked inside and ate a ton of candy but my tummy started to hurt and I missed my family. I wanted to go home. Then out of nowhere a mean elf showed up and threw a device at me! The device started beeping faster and faster and it created a giant purple and blue wormhole. I got sucked into the portal and the next thing I knew I was home again. I wished to never see a snow globe again.

         One day my brother Henry and I were grounded. We wanted to play but our mom took our toys from us. We were digging through a box, but there were no toys. We really wanted to play outside. Then on the top of the book shelf, we saw a snow globe! I shook it hard and we got transported into a different world. We fell on the ground on a pile of snow. We got up and we saw a gingerbread house. We ate the whole house! Then an angry elf threw gingerbread at us, but he missed. We got away and we saw Santa's workshop. I told Santa to build a radio. We went outside and we turned it on. It got really loud and it broke the glass. Finally, we got transported into the real world. Henry and I never went back again!

       One day a girl named Sofia was at her house. She went up to her playroom and she found a box with toys. She wanted to look inside. She looked and she saw a snow globe. She touched it, but in the next two seconds, she was trapped in it. She walked around and saw an adorable penguin with a Santa on. So she tried to ask a penguin if there was an exit. There was an exit, but not something that she could use to get out.  Then she went to see if there was something fun to do. Suddenly, the snow globe smelled like bubblegum. Afterward, she found a pile of snow. She made a snow angel. She dug in the snow and she found something sharp. She thought that she could use it to cut the glass, so she tried and it worked! At last she was safe and sound in her bedroom. She hoped she would never need to deal with being stuck in a snow globe again.

Is there an exit?

      One day I wanted to do something. I found a snow globe and started shaking it. Next thing I knew, I was in the snow globe! I wanted to get out. I met an elf named May. She asked if I wanted to see a reindeer and I said yes. The reindeer was cute, but it was loud. Then May asked if I wanted to go to Santa's workshop and I said yes. So we went to the workshop and played with the toys. I even met Santa! I played with May a bit more. Finally it was time to go home. May showed me a portal. I said bye and then I went through the portal. I was back home! I had a great time, but I hope I don't go there again.
