Evacuee Letter
Dear Ma,
What a time! Anyway, how are you? I thought I could tell you a bit of how I am so far, and maybe thank you a bit more. Thank you so much for the hot beans and the mini little fudge bites. Everybody on the train ride was either: crying, home sick, reading, begging for my fudge bites or even asleep! Anyway thank you for helping me pack my suitcase. Cece (my favourite teddy in the whole world) is sat next to me asleep. People at the back of the bus are still arguing about who’s hot potatoes is who. I think in everybody’s suit case they either have a blanket as soft as a bear, or a teddy attached to a small white blanket. We were also told that we had to stop at least five times to drop other people off at their new homes. I went to sleep, my head hanging onto Cece.
As soon as I woke up, I saw some weird looking animals outside the window, apperently they are these things called cows. They look chubby and were munching on grass.
We arrived! A massive bush of smoke filled my nose making me cough and sneeze. We put our gas mask’s right by our sides, and suitcases were slammed shut. Miss Mary lined us up one by one counting us in pairs. One by one we jumped of the steps saying thank you to Mrs Frank the train driver. We where now in stone! There was: a church, shop, bakery and a village hall. Miss Mary took us into the village hall and again lined us up, but this time we were standing next to eachother hand by hand. I had no clue who the two girs next to me were but for some reason they kept smiling at me, It was well odd. Suddenly, a big bang of random adults came walking in the room. I look around scared and confused, clinging onto Cece. Miss Mary yelled our names and sent us out to the adults reading kids and adults names from a list. I got called over to this woman called Barbra. She had: a red face like a plum, a grey frissley dress with a cloth tied around her waist. She looked like a nice woman. I looked horrible in my creased scrunched up school unifrom from school that I wear all day up until 3:00pm.
