The Black Hat

The Black Hat

This is Jacob with his black hat

Hello my name is Jacob. I live in a cottage in the deep, dark and spooky woods with my ancient Granddad. There isn't a lot than I can do around here so I go for long forest walks hoping to find something new. Yesterday you are not going to believe what happened I found a big Black Hat . I was over rejoiced at what I found so I  placed it on my head and went to show Granddad. He looked at at the hat and told me "It is just a normal hat, Sorry Jacob" I was so annoyed at myself  "I can never find anything good or special" I thought but still I kept the hat on my head until it was time to go to bed. So I placed the hat on my bed side table and fell asleep. But I did not know that my high hat was magic which freed magical animals from being imprisoned in the hat for a WHOLE DAY! that is a long time. So they came out of the hat and in all there glory and danced and danced. 

I woke up and found the animals dancing on my floor. I got out of my bed to have a look. I wondered where all the amazing creatures had come from, I  was worried that they so escape so I put them into jars and cages, and put them on my shelf.

Each day I would look at them and be memerized at their beauty, but then one day I saw open cage and a bird had escape. I was so sad, so I ran around the wood calling the birds to look for them. I went all around the forest calling his name, until I found at the top of the tallest tree. 

"Please come back, I miss you, please come back to me". But he didn't. I went back home feeling heartbroken. When I went to look at my other creatures, I saw the two more had flown away. I remembered the tree, and set off in that direction. 

There I found them, at the top of the tree. "Please oh please, come back to me" I shouted. But the birds just flapped their wings and took the air. They were so much more beautiful in flight than in their cages. I knew what I had to do, I ran home to free every animal from their cages. We all went to the tree and had a dance party like friends from long ago, and we danced until I had to go home. I told my granddad all about the black hat and the magic birds and he just said "Get ahold of your imagination Jacob" But I under my breath so nobody heard me " never"
