Hieroglyphic narrative

Post 1 of the Blog Post Challenge

For writing last week, we had to write a narrative using the symbols from our name in the hieroglyphic language. Hieroglyphic symbols are the pictures on the pyramids. 

This is my name in hieroglyphics

 

Double reed leaf, chick, mouth, chick, water, jar stand

Here is my narrative.

Once upon a time in a little village not so far away, there lived a pair of chicks that lived in the wild. These chicks were very unique. Their body was yellow but the had a human mouth. Their names were Lucy and Logan. Lucy was the older twin. She loved to be in charge and tell Logan what to do. Lucy loved to be beautiful and do crafts to help the lane twins survive. She would build huts and houses for them to live in and also she would make fishing gear and tools. Well Logan on the other hand, he was shy. Logan loved to cook like their mother Leah. He loved to eat and sleep. Logan was a very strong swimmer. When the lane twins parents were still here, there dad Lachlan always took Logan to the lake not so faraway from their home. The mother of the family was the cook. Leah loved to cook food using the fish that Lucy caught. She made the best fish soup in all of Duckville.

The lane family was all happy until… Leah and Lachlan set off to find some firewood together. Lucy and Logan were waiting for them to arrive but they never did. No one knows what happened to them and no one ever will because no one will ever see them again. The twins were desperate to see their mother and father again all they wanted to do was be reunited with the whole family again. After that dramatic story they wanted a happy ending so the set off to find their parents.

It had been 14 years since Leah and Lachlan had raised the lane twins. Lucy was frantically prepared all the equipment they needed to set off for their adventure. Logan was busy packing all the things like clothes and all the food that they would need to survive out in the wild. Then they set off to get a good night's sleep for the next morning.

The lane twins set off at the crack of dawn. All Lucy and Logan remembered was that their parents went to collect firewood and they had dent returned by dinner time. The family's favourite spot to collect firewood. It was north of the twins campsite so the headed north to the forest of dancing pines.

They had not traveled for very long and Lucy and Logan had come across a pond full of dancing double reed leaves. They both said at the same time “ how do we get past these leaves?” Luckily they had the skills get past these tricky obstacles. Lucy had built some special sharp scissors that can cut through anything. Logan told Lucy, “ we'd better get started on this lot is we want to get to the forest of dancing pines tonight.”

Soon after they arrived at Planty Pond they had got to the other side of the shallow waters. Lucy and logan thought they had just finished but they were just getting started. There was more trouble to come as they move on with the adventure. Night had fell and the sky had gone to sleep. All the animals had gone to bed except… The lane twins. They were wide awake trying to get to sleep. Tossing and turning all night was all they did.

The next morning the twins were up very early to continue with their adventure. They soon came across a lake full of purple water. The lake of doom. Luckily Lucy knew how to build a very sturdy boat that could fit 2 people. Lucy rushed to build a boat. She worked her butt off all night. Sometimes she thought it was no use but then she remembered that is was to rescue their parents.

When the day woke up, the sun was up high in the sky. Lucy and Logan woke up to the sound of the waves from the purple lake of doom. Lucy and Logan quickly woke up so they could get moving. They set the boat on the water. First Lucy hopped into the boat, then Logan hopped into the boat and plopped onto the wooden seat.

“1 2 3 change 1 2 3 change” Lucy yelled at Logan. The water was very shallow so the ores got stuck in the orange seaweed. They finally decided to just paddle with their blue wings. Logan's ore got stuck on a jar stank that looked that it had been there for 100 years. Soon after they woke, Lucy and Logan got to the other side of the lake of doom. Logan had very good eye site. From the lake Logan could spot the forest of dancing pines. It didn't look that far away from where they were.

Lucy thought to herself, this is taking way longer that she had thought it would have taken her. They had travelled far and long and they had finally reached their destination. The trees were tall and they had pine cones hanging from the bushy leaves like Christmas ornaments. It was like a Christmas wonderland.

2 lovely looking trees greeted us at a big gate. They said if you want to come in, you have to complete this riddle. What walks on 4 legs when it is young. What walks on 2 legs when it is older. And what walks on 3 legs when it is old. Lucy and Logan were desperate so they thought really hard. On Logan first guess he guessed a human because when you are a baby, you crawl. When you are older you walk. When you are old you walk on two legs and a walking stick. The dancing pines were really surprised that they got it on their first try. The big golden gate opened and a whole new world was born.

Four legs traveled on the rocky gravel road. Four beady eyes scanned the area like lightning. They had not traveled for very long and they saw a cage in the middle of the rocky road inside the cage was all sorts of weird things like snakes and lions and a jar stand, but the 2 things that caught the lane twins beady eyes was Leah's long blonde hair and Lachlan's gold bow tie. The twins were ecstatic to see their parents.

On top of a jar stand, there was a set of green keys. To save the family they had to grab the keys and open the door. The dancing pines hadn't realised what Lucy and Logan were doing. Lucy had made a claw ahead of time. Using her super power of strength, the green keys were in the keyhole but there were 10 other keys. They tried all of the keys until one of them would fit.

“Click” went the key. This key was shaped as a tree. Leah and Lachlan raced out of what seemed like a prison yard. There was lots of hugs and kisses. Once they left the golden gates, the dancing pines said goodbye but then they realised that their prisoners had left. On the way back to camp, they shared their weird but amazing stories with each other. Hand in hand everyone was happy. Leah and Logan said at the same time. Life with the dancing pines was interesting but cool. All they ate was plant food. We lived on plant food for 14 years. All that adventure to get firewood but we never came back with any!
