You wake up and you are the size of an ant.
„Phew,“ I remarked after arriving home after a hectic day of school. “I can’t believe they made us write five tests in one day. I’m pretty sure that’s child abuse.” I huffed. It was only seven p.m. but I was in need of a nap. I changed into my pajamas and jumped in bed. “I wish school wasn’t so hard, no, I wish life wasn’t so hard!” I yelled. After a few minutes of me being enraged, I fell asleep. I slept for ten hours, woke up after being shook. I leaped from bed, wondering who was shaking me. I opened my eyes to see a girl I didn’t know, and she seemed only five inches tall. I blinked my eyes a few times, but she was still there. Naturally, I thought I was dreaming, so I pinched myself. The only outcome was me hurting myself, that’s when I realized I wasn’t in a dream. “Hey!” I yelled. I scared the ant-sized girl, and she stopped shaking me. “Who are you? Why are you in my bed, and why are you like five inches?” Seconds later, she started wheezing. I was confused. “Why, Lea.” She said after laughing. “You are really funny, we are the same size! Look at yourself in the mirror.” At this point I was utterly confused. I was almost blind without my glasses, so I threw my hand to reach my glasses, when I realized that my hand only reached to my blanket. The five-inch-tall girl noticed my glasses, and jumped on the table where my glasses were. I heard a spraying noise, then she put my glasses on the ridge of my nose. I looked around, and noticed that all of the furniture in my room were about ten times my size.
That’s when I lost my marbles. “What is going on? Am I hallusinating? Why am I your size? How are my glasses my size? Tell me!” I rambled. The girl smirked, and said. “I’ll answer all of your questions later, now all you need to know is that i’m a pixie, and now you are too. I sprayed the liquid I sprayed on you to make your glasses our size.” After she answered my questions, I recalled a book I previously read. It was about pixies, and what they do. I guess it wasn’t a fairytale. “Wait, how do you know my name?” I said. She looked at me perplexed. “Lea, I know you read that book about pixies, don’t tell me you forgot!” I’m your guardian pixie, I’ve been protecting you ever since you were born! I guess you know what we have to do now.”
I tried to remember the book, and remembered that your guardian pixie looks after you, and once you are ready, the pixie will take you to the pixie dimension, where all of your dreams come true. As I remembered more and more, I recalled that only chosen humans go to the pixie dimension. That meant that I was a chosen soul. “I’m a chosen soul?” I asked. The pixie looked at me with glee, and said, “So you do remember! Yes, you are a chosen soul. My name is Eui, and I have been your guardian pixie. The reason i’m here is because the pixie dimension is in danger, and only you can save it.” Without saying another word, she sprayed more of the liquid on us, and we were now in the pixie dimension. I noticed that everything was gray and gloomy, that’s when I felt like I should do something. “Lea, in the Earth dimension, you are only a human that can only accomplish human deeds, but here, you are a chosen soul who is here to save our world. So what do you say?” Eui randomly said with a marvelous tone. “Lets save this place!” I screamed gloriously.

You are pulling water from your well and you find a baby dinosaur in your bucket.
One day I went to bring water from pulling. Some minutes later I saw a baby dinosaur on my bucket. When I saw a baby dinosaur I was afraid of it, but 3 minutes later I don’t afraid and I put it on my hand. I gave it water and bread and it become my friend. Two years later my dinosaur became a big and very strong dragon. My dinosaurs can fly and do many exercises. It’s name was Nalla Nalla and I every day plaed on yard and we were happy. In 2030 year there were war of U.S.A. and Russia. Many People died because Donald Trump wanted to take Russia and kill all the people of Russia. One day Vladimir Putin came to me and said:
After one year Russia and U.S.A. become good friends and they live normaly and happy. If I don’t see my dinosaurs. People all over the world was killed.

Life with a dinosaur.
It was a wonderful December morning, when I woke up I saw that we don’t have enough water so I went to the well and when I pulled out the water I found a baby dinosaur in my bucket. At first I thought that the dinosaur wasn’t real, but then when I saw how it was moving I understood that it was real. After that I was a little bit scared but then I saw that it’s not dangerous. I took the dinosaur out of the bucket and put it on the grass. It was sleeping like an angel. I named it Alexander, because when it woke up it started to run everywhere, like it wanted to become the king of the places that it found. It was Sunday so I had time to teach Alexander how to jump, roll on the floor and many other things. But I’s worried how I will keep Alexander because I can’t leave Alexander at home alone, because he will ruin everything, also I can’t take him to school. While I was thinking my parents woke up and saw Alexander. They’re scared, but then I explained them that Alexander is not dangerous. They were worried to, because they didn’t know what to do. They asked me what we can do with Alexander, but I had no ideas. Then I said that I can take Alexander to school with me, because we can’t leave it at home, and my parents can’t take it to work. My parents agreed with me. In the rest of the day I was teaching Alexander that when I have a lesson he needs to sleep in my rucksack, and when I open the rucksack he mustn’t make any noises. I was in shock how fast he was learning.
In the next morning I woke up very worried, because I was thinking that my plan will fail! I took Alexander and put it in my backpack and left a small place open for it to breathe. I said goodbye to my parents and went to school. On the way to school Alexander fell asleep. When I got to school and opened the backpack it woke up but didn’t start to make noises. I took the book, closed the backpack (I left a small place open for Alexander to breathe) and went to the class. When I was looking from the window I suddenly saw that Alexander was running all over the football field. I’s worried that someone will see that but no one was looking on Alexander. When the lesson was over I ran out of the class to Alexander, but I was late. All the children were running after Alexander and it was scared. I ran to catch him. Then I took him to my house. When I arrived Alexander ran to the well and I saw that it was “talking” to something. I looked down and saw that to big dinosaurs were looking on Alexander. I understood that they’re Alexander’s parents. I understood that I need to give Alexander back, but I was very sad. But then I put Alexander in the bucket and pushed down, and it jumped out and ran to his parents.
Next days I was very sad because Alexander left me. But one Friday I was playing with the ball and it got dirty, so I put it in the bucket and pushed down to the well. When I pulled the bucket out I found Alexander with my ball. Then we started to play together. After that I pushed Alexander down and every Friday since that we were playing together until night.
