My Lunch Box - By Katie

I once opened my lunch box and there staring at me was humungous, hairy, jet black spider!  It’s beady red eyes staring straight at me.  I instantly dropped my lunch box in fright and raced off squealing!  I glanced back to see that the spider had crawled out and started terrorising others.  Everyone let out an ear-piercing scream!  The spider covered its ears.  I examined my lunch box and there were charcoal hairs all over the place.  The spider let out a loud hiss, which I recall must have been a call for help because in one millisecond there were a number of spiders coming out of the drains.  Someone screamed, “attack of the mad spider!”  Suddenly a humungous, fury, chalk white, cat with a pitch black patch over one eye appeared in front of me.  Her tail brushed against my skin.  It was oh so fluffy.  The spiders froze, then quick as a flash, they scurried away back into the drains – that is all of them except the one that was in my lunch box!  The cat crept forward and let out a loud hiss.  The spider let out a squeaking noise and scuttled off as if someone had chopped its leg off.  The cat walked away smartly.  Everyone clapped and cheered while someone put a daisy chain around her neck.  I didn’t want to eat from my lunch box so I snuck away as the cat pranced down the street.  I dumped the lunch box in my bag.  When I got home I emptied out the lunch box and threw it in the sink and thought about what I been through.  I was very thankful that the cat had come.  Deep in thought, I sat down on the fluffy, pink couch at the side of the room.  I let out a peaceful sigh as I ate a Gingernut cookie.  I wandered into my bedroom , hopped into  bed and lay there.  Life is so peaceful I thought as I drifted off.
