Garden Wars - A story by Caitlyn

Garden Wars

The parsleys readied their pea bullets.
The basils readied their spud bombs.

The coriander trembled with fear.
The tremendous beans stood in the middle. The garden was at war!

The reason for this war was because of the beans.
Every day the beans stood tall and beautiful, while the other vegetables were small and squat.
There were beetroot bombs. Carrot and parsnip rifles, pea bullets and spud bombs.
FIRE!!!! It was MADNESS!!!!
Bits of potatoes, kumara and pumpkin were flickering everywhere!
Carrots and parsnips were firing at every second. It was a mess!
The basils and parsleys were ganging up on the sprouts.
The lavender and rosemary were ganging up on the broccoli.

Amidst all of this ruckus little Dorothy woke from her afternoon sleep. She climbed out of her porta-cot and looked out the window.
To her surprise she saw vegetables fighting!
‘AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” She cried.
Dorothy crawled out to the vegetable garden.
Half a kumara splattered onto her satin cream dress and a mushy pea got lodged in her ear.
‘DOROTHY?” Her mother called from the kitchen, ‘WHAT'S ALL THAT RACKET!?”
When her mother arrived her mouth dropped wide open like a goldfish.
‘Dorothy", she sighed, "have you been playing in the garden again?”
Dorothy didn’t know what to say, her voice trembled with fear. “Well, at least the beans are okay.” Then she leant over and picked the beans from the garden.
“Noooooo!” the vegetables wailed.
