The Time Travelling Prince!
Once upon a time a prince named Jake and his father (king) and mother (queen) lived in a castle in Portland. It was almost the 1000th year anniversary of the castle. On the day his mum and dad kicked him out because Jake destroyed the whole feast on purpose because he couldn't get what he wanted. But then a mysterious man kidnapped Jake and told him that they would go through time to witness what his ancestors were like with Jake's DNA.
The man put Jake in the the DNA analyser to start time travelling. The man took a sample of his blood and extracted it in a tube which allowed him to select a time. The man chose to go to the year 1601 to meet his ancestor Aradma. They time travelled there and everything seemed different. The castle was made of cement instead of bricks, the people are wearing clothes made of fur instead of cloth and the food were different too. The king (Aradma) was a very bad person and he stole property from his kingdom.
The man told Jake that’s all he needed to see and he was going to time travel to 1351 to see Manfeir. When they arrived everything was even more different. The king (Manfeir) was an even meaner person. He whipped whoever questioned him, he sent peasants to a visit dangerous places and he executed anybody who disobeyed him. Jake thought to himself “Do I want to be like my ancestors?” “Do I want to be a bad person?” The man said “It’s time to go back home, because I think I angered Manfeir.” The knights came bursting through the door on horses and Jake and the man ran as fast as they can on foot. Then the man and Jake was almost to the time machine but the knights almost caught up with them. the man said to Jake “They’re after me so I will run through the forest and back to lose them.” So the man ran very fast around the forest and he lost them.
When they got back Jake said to his mum and dad “I'm sorry for destroying the feast.” Then the man came bursting through the gate bringing the biggest feast ever that was more than fit for the king. The man said “This is Jake’s ‘I'm Sorry’ gift.” The kingdom had a great feast and a good time, also Jake learnt that he can’t get everything he wanted and if he did he would end up a bad person and they lived happily ever after …
