Introduce the

character

Down, down the dark, dark street

they came. Up, up the dark house

they climbed, as quiet as mice and

as stealthy as shadows. Only the

moon and one little boy was

secretly watching them when they

arrived. Tom was a nice, brave

little boy who was about to have an

adventure.

were rough, tough girl pirates who

stole the front of Tom’s house for

disguise.

The journey

to the island.

The

adventure

Tom joined the crew and they

sailed to an island where Captain

Patch and his rough, tough grown-

up pirates slept around the

treasure chest. What could the

captain see? A house sailing

towards the island. When it got

closer the girl pirates leapt out with

a roar! The grown-up pirates ran

away. So the girl pirates sailed

away with Captain Patch’s

treasure.

Extract from “The Enchanted Wood” by Enid Blyton

There was once three children, called Joe, Beth and Frannie. All their lives they had

lived in a town, but now their father had a job in the country, so they were all to

move as soon as they possibly could. The train whistled, and chuffed out of the

station. The children pressed their noses on the window and watched the dirty

houses and chimneys race by. They arrived at last at the tiny station where they

were to get out. A sleepy-looking porter put their bags on a trolley, and said he

would bring them along later. Off they all went down the winding country lane,

chattering loudly.

At last they got there – and dear me, it was worth all the walk, for the cottage was

sweet. Roses hung from the walls – red and white and pink – and honeysuckle was

all around the front door. It was lovely!

What fun it was to wake up in the morning and see the sun shining in at strange

windows! It didn’t take Joe, Beth and Frannie very long to dress. Then they were out

in the little garden, running through the grass that had grown so long, and smelling

the roses that grew all around.

That day everyone helped to get the little house straight and tidy. Father was going

to work the next day. Mother hoped there would be someone to give her washing to

do, then she would make enough money to buy a few hens. That would be lovely!

The three children explored all round about. They ran across a field where pink

clover was full of bees. They paddled in a small brown stream that chattered away

to itself under the willow trees in the sunshine. And then they suddenly came to the

wood. It looked quite an ordinary wood, except that the trees were a darker green

than usual.
