Time Travel

Along ago in the yellow sandy dunes of Qatar lived a boy and his name was Rashid. He had brown hair and brown skin likewise his eyes and was medium size for his age. Rashid lived with his mum and dad in a tent made out of wool from sheep. In addition Rashid father was an excellent pearl diver so Rashid father was rich and had over 100 camels because each pearl was worth 1200 qataris.
Rachid's mother was talented to select desert plants to make medicine for instance to stop the cough. One day she had high fever and was really sick. His mother sent him to pick-up the yellow flowers in order to make a tea medicine. After an exhausting 30 minutes walk in the hot desert he finally found something yellow that, in his mind was the flower.

Rashid felt exited to see what it was. He realized that it was a 4 meters rocket and it was half burried in the sand. The rocket was placed horizontally. He asked himself: Who did it belong to? How did it get there? Rashid wanted to dig to see the whole rocket. However it was made out of metal and he would burn his fingers because the sun was so hot. Rashid had a solution and he decided he would go back at sunset. Rashid rushed back to his tent, did not say anything to his parents because he was scared they would not let him go back. He told his mum a lie that he would go to feed the camels.He could not think about anything else but this discovery. Right after sunset, Rashid took a torch and set of. After walking very fast he found the rocket thanks to a big full moon that helped him to find his way back. He took all the sand off and digged about 30 centimeters. The rocket had a label where he could read Spain and 1999. All of a sudden, the rocket magically had gone vertically and the door opened automatically.

All of a sudden the rocket door opened. Rashid went inside and he found 3 switches: One said "Go to Qatar 2011", the second one said "Go to Qatar 1374" and the last one said "Go to Qatar 300 bc". So he decided to press "Qatar 2011". A second later the rocket blasted off and it launched slowly and afterwards faster and faster. Rashid felt very scary until he realized that the rocket was already in space. He, then did not feel scared anymore and started to feel excited as he could see all the planets and many shiny stars.Everything was quiet and silent, he felt very secure but all in a sudden the rocket started to fall down back to Earth. Rashid was not scared or even exited he was terrorized because he tought the rocket would crash. He lost conscious and when he woke up, he hardly believed he was still alive. He looked through the windows and did not understand what was all this noise outside. He pressed the switch to open the door.

  1. Alejandro-You did a great job of describing Rashid. You also did a great job explaining about Rashid´s family. You could have made it better by putting Rashid´s dad other than Rashid dad. On the label of the rocket I am thinking it will take you to Spain 1999. You should be in Qatar in 2011. I am excited for the 3rd paragraph. -Pilar-
