Goldi & The Family of 3

Once upon a time, there lived a girl, her name was Goldi. Goldi lived in an orphanage but wasn't an orphan. When she was 6, her Mum got a job being a celebrity assistant and at the time, Goldi was really excited because she thought that she would be able to go to awesome places and soon turn into a pop star! But it all changed when she actually started to work. Her mother’s boss wouldn't let any kids with her and she wanted Goldi’s mother, Madison to live in America. Goldi was devastated! She cried herself to sleep for the first few nights her mother was gone and of course because she was in a new home. Madison’s boss had called it lucky but both Madison and Goldi called it horror when they found out that the orphanage was taking in any kids that had parents who weren't there to care for them, but Goldi’s mother could look after her, Goldi had said before her mother left. That was when Goldi moved in to the orphanage.

On October 15 was Goldi's birthday and for the past 3 years, she had to just sit in her room as usual and sometimes, if she was lucky, call her mum. This year was different though, she was double-digit and she wanted it to be special. So the morning of her birthday, she ran away hoping to catch a plane and go to her mum, of course she knew that wouldn't happen but she just wanted to get out.

She ran and ran and ran until she couldn't run any more. She walked very slowly and tiredly until she came upon a house. It looked nice and smoke was coming up from the chimney so she went in.

What she didn’t know is, that morning a family had left their house unlocked to go for a walk. The family was a family of 3, Mum, Dad and child Rose. Rose went to her Mum’s school (She was the principal) and her Dad was the head of the police so their family was pretty important. They had left their house with warm milos, hot toast and cocoa-pops.

When Goldi went in, they were still gone so she ate all the food, broke their TV, spilt milo on their couch and fell asleep in Rose’s bed. Of course, the family was very surprised to see all their breakfast eaten, a big puddle of milo on their couch, the TV all fuzzed, the remote broken in two and a strange girl sleeping in their bed!

They woke her up immediately and started asking questions. When the whole story had come out, the family was actually feeling very sad for the girl. They let her stay with them and ordered for her Mum back, a good house and a great job.

By the next week, Goldi was with her Mum sitting on their new couch in their new house. Goldi went to Rose’s school and her Mum worked there so it really was…

A Happy Ending!
