The Hill

One day I went to a hill. It was big. I couldn’t believe it and me, mum and dad walked up the hill. It was a long walk. We saw a fence. It said sheep. We opened the gate. Sheep were everywhere. There was glowing green grass. It was soft and there was poo so we kept on walking. We came to a beautiful hotel. We stayed there to sleep. There they had cosy beds. They were coloured blue and green. The pillows were coloured white, good for my head. In the morning I woke up. Mum said, “We will be staying here for a couple more nights.”
“How many more?”
“Seven nights.”
