Jimmy and the Red-eyed Babysitter
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there lived a young boy called Jimmy who lived with his Mum and Dad in a huge spooky castle. But one day his parents had to go out. “Sorry Jimmy, I need a major haircut at the barbers, make sure your father keeps care of you and doesn’t go out” said Mum as she rushed out of the house and slammed the door.
“I’m... I’m going to spend our entire life savings son, I’ll call a babysitter. Don’t tell Mum!” whispered Dad.
Off he went on his mission to spend the family’s life savings (what a hard job for Dad). A few minutes later, Jimmy heard a strange noise coming from the door. Then he heard a voice shouting: “DO YOU MIND, I’VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR AGES!!!! LET ME IN!” So he opened the creaky door and the thing barged in.
“Hello Jimmy! I am the evil babysitter HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA” As she laughed, lightning struck behind her. She had evil looking red eyes and green scaly skin, and we can’t forget how tall she was, 7 feet tall! “Sorry Jimmy, but you’re going to have a good clean bath in the river” said the red-eyed babysitter. She flung him, with Jimmy kicking and screaming for mercy.
Then the babysitter took a sharp-bladed knife out of her pocket and raised it above her head. Because Jimmy was such an intelligent boy, he knew how to distract the evil red-eyed babysitter, so he said “how can you baby-sit again?”
“If you want me to baby-sit again, call 09011 900500, that is 09011 900500. Calls cost 50p and mobile rates vary. Remember to ask permission!” she said politely pointing her finger at him. Now let’s get to the action! She raised her knife yet again, and then as if by magic, a unicorn appeared from nowhere, trotting across the lush green grass. Jimmy took his chance and hopped on the unicorn to have a ride back to the castle.
“Hi, I’m Moody, you better give me a pound or you will be in for a surprise!”
“Sorry mate, I only gots 99p!”
So Moody lifted his hind leg and ... FLUNG HIM OFF!
“Wheeee! This is fun!” SPLAT! Jimmy ended up in the pig muck. Poor thing! Then...
“Jimmy dear!” called Jimmy’s Mum. Jimmy heard those words, looked up, and ran for his life to the house, sat down in his playroom and cried.
“Jimmy, what’s the matter?” asked his Mum.
“Um... Daddy went and the babysitter turned into a monster and threw me into a river and was gonna kill me when a unicorn came!” Jimmy answered. As Jimmy was saying this, Father came into the house and panted.
“It’s alright dear!” said Jimmy’s Mum.
“D-d-d-dear, I spent all our... lifesavings!” cried Jimmy’s Dad emotionally.
“Jimmy don’t....WHAT? You spent all our lifesavings? Right Mr, I don’t know what I’m going to do, so beware!” shouted Jimmy’s Mum.
“I think I’m... going to find 5 more jobs!” muttered Jimmy’s Dad.
“No you’re not Mr!” shouted Jimmy’s Mum.
and they lived happily ever after!
