Appylson and the Twister Slide

Appylson and the Twister Slide

There was once a normal boy called Appylson Lemy. He lived in a building in San Francisco. One sunny morning, Appylson’s family decided to go swimming in the pool. When he went there, he saw a slide which had been installed last month. Appylson wanted to try the slide out. He went on it. Towards the end, he fell happy to get out. Suddenly the water formed a twister. Appylson got sucked into it. When he was out of twister he found himself in a magical land.

A tiny pixie came up to Appylson and asked who he was. Appylson said, “My name is Appylson”. Right after that, a wizard (who looked like he was evil) appeared in a cloud of black dust and said to Appylson, “Ho, Ho, Ho! Another victim, eh! Well you have to cross this land to get back home! Try your worst” and the wizard disappeared.

Appylson bravely went to a sign saying, “Twenty riddles to solve each day, this is where the pranks will stay”. He guessed that was pixie land. Another sign said, “The place where you can reflect, and go to any place you suggest”. Appylson went that way, but did not notice that it had a cross below. When he went there, he got caught by stinky and smelly  trolls. Appylson remembered that trolls could not stand light. He took a pocket sized torch from his pocket and shined it on the trolls. Well, that did the trick. Every single troll melted into water. One puddle of troll-water had a riddle saying, “One troll leads you the way, while others have nothing to say”.

He immediately jumped into the puddle the riddle was on. Well, the puddle” said” a riddle and none of others said anything. Sure enough, it led him to a land; to the land of witches. The queen of witches, Evalina, was a lady with braids. When she swung her hair, Appylson noticed a paper. The next time, he ran quickly and caught the paper. It was written, “If you have a sharp brain and sharp eyes, you will always rise”. He looked through the window and saw the sun was going to rise.  

Appylson jumped out of the window and met a fairy who granted him a wish. He wished he was in the land of magical mirrors. The fair waved her wand and it sent him there. When he went to the palace, a creature was guarding something. Appylson asked the creature, “Do you know how I can get home?”. The goofy creature said “Here’s a clue. Laziness and silliness, if you never part, you will never be able to reach your start. Good luck!”. The weird creature moved and there was a passage way. Appylson rushed in there and found some mirrors with pictures on them. He felt confused. Then he remembered the clue, ‘start’. Yes! The starting letters of the riddles!

O-I-L, OIL! One mirror had a picture of corn oil. He jumped through that mirror. It led him through a gravitational portal that whisked him home! Then he lived happily with his family, there  after.
