The Strong Kid

A kid called Noha was watching TV all day. His mum said, “Go for a walk, or I will throw the TV away!” So sadly, Noha went. 

When he got to the top of a hill, he was tired, so he went home. While he was walking back, he thought about having a campfire in his back yard. He collected sticks all the way to his home. 

He took a matchstick and made a fire with the sticks. He realised he had marshmallows in his backpack, so he went inside to get them. 

Bulk is the class bully, and he teases Noha all the time. While Noha was collecting sticks, Bulk saw Noha and decided to follow him. 

When Noha went inside to get the marshmallows, Bulk came and sprayed a potion in the campfire, but it was the wrong potion. Bulk wanted to put a potion that made people fall asleep, but instead he put one that made people stronger. Bulk hid in a tree when he heard the door opening. 

When Noha came, he toasted and ate one marshmallow. He felt a little dizzy. Bulk jumped down from the tree and laughed, “Ha, ha, ha, ha! I poured a potion in the fire that makes babies like you fall asleep!” 

Bulk tried to push Noha down, but Noha was strong now, so Bulk was the one who fell. Bulk got up and stepped forward. Noha stuck all the marshmallows on one stick and toasted and ate them all. He threw the leftover stick, the stick touched the tree Bulk had been hiding in, and made the tree fall down. 

“Do you think I’m a baby now?” said Noha, “It’s the end”. Bulk was scared so he tried to run away. Noha accidently touched Bulk, and Bulk went flying to the moon. 

That night, Noha had a dream of Bulk on the moon!
