The Sweet Factory
It was Halloween, so Jim designed a costume. He was
dressed as a doctor. He was a few hours out before he came home with his bag
full of sweets. His dad immediately leapt from his seat and swiftly ran over to
Jim and said “what do you have there boy?” Jim replied “a few sweets dad”. His
dad snatched the bag off Jim and threw it in the fire. Jim cried a little and
stormed up stairs.
He started to invent something new. He had a good mind but
his inventions never worked. But this time he had a feeling about this one. He
was going to design a secret sweet machine so he could……… have all the sweets
in the world.
Little Jim started to collect the parts and pieces for his
magical sweet machine. He was clanking and hammering all night then early the
next morning he was finished. It was fantastic but he still didn’t know if it
worked. He slowly bent down and grabbed the plug then with a worried face he
ever so slowly trotted over to the socket and pushed the plug inside. He
flicked the switch and heard the sweet machine fire up. As quick as a bullet he
sprinted over to the machine and was so hypnotised in amazement that he
fainted.
He was quickly woken up by the sound of the ice cream man
outside but why would he need him, he had a sweet machine. He designed the
machine to be voice activated. Jim asked for a packet of Walker crisps but the
sweet machine replied, “Need fuel”. Then Jim remembered that he had to put a
sweet into the machine to start it off. He slowly hopped downstairs and got a
gobstopper from the ice cream man for two pence and inserted it into the
machine.
The machine was brighter than before so he knew something
had worked. He asked again “can I have some Walker crisps please”.
The machine replied “please hold” and the machine started
clanking away. A minute later came Jim’s Walker crisps.
Jim was so amazed by his invention he forgot he had school
and…. homework. He sprang up from his hands and knees like a tensioned Slinky.
He got dressed and sprinted to school, as he was already 10 minutes late. His
first class was science and his teacher was miss Trunchbull who was the
strictest teacher of all time. When he arrived at class finally, his fellow
classmates and miss Trunchbull turned to face Jim. His face turned like a
tomato as the teacher bellowed, “Where have you been Jim”?
Jim replied, “school bus was late miss”.
Miss Trunchbull then said” was it now? Well how did
everyone else make it to class?” Jim said nothing then sat down.
It was time to go
home. Jim trotted down the road with no expression on his face. He was home
finally and exhausted from his journey from school. He laboured upstairs too
see his sweet machine. Jim watched TV for a bit and fell asleep. As he was
sleeping he had the most brilliant dream. He dreamt about owning and managing
his very own sweet factory. He soon woke up and thought about his dream. He was
going to design his very own sweet factory. He worked on the design for weeks
and began collecting different parts and pieces to duplicate his old sweet
machine. He had built sweet machine NO.2 and made six more so all together he
had 8 .His dad was asleep so he ran to the abandoned house across the street
and he transported his machines in a wheelbarrow. He started to rebuild what
was once a house. It took weeks for him to rebuild his new found factory. His
dad wasn’t worried since he snuck back in his house every day and every night
for school. He invited over two of his very few friends to experience his work
on the factory. The two friends were astounded at his factory. They were ages
with Jim one was called Jake and the other Sam. They were also smarty pants
Jake was interested in the same things as Jim but not Sam he took a interest in
fictional things. Jim’s factory was taking shape now. Two months on and the
factory was complete. Each machine had two dispensers attached to it Jim was
now 13
