I am learning to write about what happens before, during and after an event

“Wow” whispered Joe, “Thats a big project” said Zac. “I know and the robots due in a week ” whispered Zac back. That night Joe sprinted to Zac’s house to start the project. Knock knock knock. Eeeee Rrrrrrr the door opens, its Zac. “We better get started, let's start with some research” explained Joe.

Click bang zap “Wow” said Joe we're all most done. “I know, but it's taking all night” said Zac sleepily. BANG! SMASH! BAP! “Finally, DONE!” They shouted. The robot was big and red it had razor sharp pinchers and had beady eyes. “We’ve gotta win” said Joe “Now to turn it on.”

“Hello my name is Retro and now I will destroy you”,“RUN” they both shouted as they ran to the door the robot chased behind them. “Why has the plug not came out” said Joe. “Wait a minute” shouted Zac. Pop!

Eeee Nnnn. Power offffffffffffff! “Now what do we do for the project?” asked Zac. “Maybe a mini robot that builds things” suggested Joe. "Good idea" said Zac. The mini robot will be equipt with hammers, screwdrivers and sphere nails. 

At the competition the judges thought the mini robot was so cute and helpful so it won first place! That’s why bigger isn’t always better.
