Barbecue in the Park

Last Sunday, my friend and I went to the park because David`s family invited us to a barbecue party in the park. We live nearby so we just walked there.

When we got to the park, there were not many people. David`s family was already there. They arrived there early to get the best picnic spot with an electronic barbecue grill nearby. When we arrived , they were cleaning the barbecue was clean, they turned the barbecue on by pushing the button. The electric stove turned on and the metal plate became hot.

David`s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some sausages, beef steaks, and some onions on the barbecue. Meanwhile, David`s father was preparing the bread, butter, and the drinks.

While waiting for the meat to cook, David and I joined other boys playing football. When we got tired, we stopped and enjoyed the sausage, steaks, and some cold soft drinks.

The food was delicious. I think David`s mother is one of the best cooks in the world.

Cinderella

Once upon time there was a girl named Cinderella. She lived with her bad step-mother and two step-sisters. She had to do all the household chores.

One day, the King invited all the ladies in the Kingdom to go a ball in the palace. He wanted to find the Crown Prince a wife.

The step-sisters went to the ball that night with their mother. Cinderella was left alone. She cried because she actually wanted to go to the ball, too

Just then a fairy godmother came. With her magic wand, she gave Cinderella a coach, two horses, and footmen. She also gave Cinderella a lovely dress to wear to the ball and a pair of glass slippers. She told Cinderella to come home before midnight.

At the ball, Cinderella danced all night with the Prince. The Prince fell in love with her. At midnight, Cinderella ran home. Unfortunately, one of her glass slippers slipped off at the door. She did not have time to put it back on. The Prince was sad as he could not find Cinderella again that night.

The next day, the Prince and his men brought along the glass slipper. They went all over the kingdom to search for the owner.

After searching for a long time, finally, they came to Cinderella`s house. The slipper fit her. The Prince was very happy to find Cinderella again. They got married and lived happily ever after.

Rapunzel

A long time ago there lived a young couple, a man and his wife. His wife was expecting their baby. She wanted a plant that only grew in her neighbor`s garden. She wanted is so much. She event intended to steal it herself, but later on, she sent her husband to steal it.

Unfortunately, Mother Gothel, the owner of the garden, caught him doing it. She was a wich . Then, Mother Gothel forced the couple to give their first baby to her.

A few months later, the baby was born. It was a girl named Rapunzel. Soon, this baby was taken away to live with Mother Gothel. Rapunzel grew to be a beautiful young girl with her log golden hair. At first she was cared for in a normal way. When she reached puberty, she was locked in a tower so that she would never leave Mother Gothel. The tower stood in the forest. It could only be entered by climbing on Rapunzel`s long hair. To cheer herself up, she loved to sing.

One day, a young prince was out hunting. He stumbled upon the tower. He heard Rapunzel`s beautiful voice. He decided that he must meet her. He spied and, by watching Mother Gothel, learned the words he had to say to have Rapunzel drop her hair. The prince visited her often and two fell in love.

Then, Rapunzel made a plan to escape from the tower. She wanted to be with the prince. She asked the prince to bring her a skein of silk each time he visited. She might weave a ladder for her escape. Unfortunately, Mother Gothel caught on. Then, she banished Rapunzel to the desert. She threw the prince from the tower into a thorny bush. The thorns made the prince blind and he roamed the earth searching for his love.

Eventually, they found each other, and the prince`s eyes were healed by Rapunzel`s tears of happiness.
