They could see it coming closer and closer, the great big hand stretching down towards them. They were so terrified they couldn’t move. Frozen to the spot the two of them in their metal house trembled bearing their crosses shakily on their heads. The gigantic hand reached down and picked up their house. For a split second they saw an enormous human face with short dark brown hair and strange metal rectangles on top of its browny –green eyes and then they were in another place. Their house was standing on a slightly rusty metal grill and the air extremely hot and stuffy. It was also (they noticed after some period of time) getting steadily hotter and hotter. They could feel themselves burning and getting black. Then faintly they heard a voice crying“I smell something burning, Lily quick go and check the grill.” Then a sound of running feet and then the door of our cell opened and a rounded glove came towards us and lifted our house out into the cool air.
“oh daaad,” a voice moaned “You’ve burnt the hot cross buns.”
