TASK THREE- STORY STARTER
…...Snip…….snip…...snip…. snip…. Jacinda Ardern is cutting the world with her big pair of scissors. Her big, silver scissors tear away roads, towns, rivers, oceans, trees, and buses. She is re-shaping the world because she wants to get rid of coronavirus. Snip, snip, cars, oceans, cities. Snip, Snip, plants, cafes, mountains all get ripped, teared, and cut. Jacinda Ardern is re-shaping the world because her decisions on coronavirus make an effect on how humans live. Snip,snip, snip, snip. Finally she reaches the last piece of land: one almost empty road, for a man was riding a bike. The road is splitting before him. What is going to happen?
The man sees the split: he turns around, but the huge scissors keep cutting. The man pedals fast. The shiny, silver scissors snip their way down the road.The scissors are catching up, but the man keeps pedaling, faster and faster. The man had started bike riding before the scissors even started cutting, 4 hours ago. Now the man is very tired, hot and sweaty. “ I mustn't give up,” the man said, “ or I will be snipped to death.” He is very thirsty. He is very lucky that he has a half a water bottle of water. He pulls over to the side of the road, the scissors are faraway enough to have a 5 second drink. Jacida is not actually looking where she is cutting any more, as she just wants to change the world. Will the man be caught?
The scissors move closer and closer, but the man drinks on. When the man is done drinking the scissors are less than 10 meters away from him. 9 meters…...8 meters…….7 meters…. the man hops on his bike and starts pedaling.The man keeps riding for about 5 kilometres, but then the man sees a cliff. The man puts on his breaks, moves out of the way of the scissors. But the scissors turn towards the man. “ The scissors must be chasing me, not just cutting, actually chasing me” thought the man.
