2. One day she went out of the clocktower and  then she went back.I thought it was unfair.

3 There was a clock-lady.She lived in a Tower. One day she went out of her Tower. Then the city froze. She thought for a second. She went back to the Tower and the city went colourful again.

4 Once upon a time there was a clocktower.The village where it was was very odd.There was a girl. And the girl was very odd herself too. The girl discovered something that day. What she discovered : when she left the tower it all went black and white. She was amazed. And there’s something I forgot to tell you – there were a lot of balloons. She touched a  colourful balloon and when she took her hand off it changed to black and white. So then she went back inside forever.

5 Once there was a lovely valley.Everything was made out of cogs. Even the chimneys.The people were very nice. They went up to the girl. They gave her some sweets and kept her company. One day the girl went outside. As soon as she went outside,the village turned black and grey.. She touched a balloon and the same thing happened. She noticed that she was the key. She went straight back and everything went back to normal.

6  One day in a far away land there was a beautiful tower.There was a girl living there.She went out of the clocktower.Everything went black and frozen.She hated it.She went up the stairs in the clocktower. Of course it was nice again. ‘Yipee’she said and everything was good again. They lived happily ever after.

7  I thought it was a bit like Rapunzel. The girl was a bit lonely. There were no other people in the story.I thought the music was beautiful.It was like a ghosttown when the girl left the tower. It was very sad when she came out of the tower. She didn’t have any friends.

8  I thought the girl felt a little bit left–out but she had no choice. I don’t know why she didn’t quit.It is a mystery ..but she was right. She liked the colours.

9  There was once a little girl. No ordinary thing happened in her village.She lived in a big tower and she stayed there. But one day she discovered that when she left the tower the land was all black and white. So she went back in.The world was colourful again.She never forgot the day she left the tower and she never went outside again.

10   I felt sad for her.She must be sad because she lives alone. She has no friends.

11.  The girl was upset. I liked it when she went out of the tower.

14 One day there was a girl. As you can see the girl was trapped in the clocktower. She lived in the clocktower when she was a baby. As she was growing up, she loved playing outside. So she left the clocktower. The first thing she saw was a black and white town. ‘No way’ she said, ‘I will never be going out again’. So back inside she went and all the colours came back again.

15  I thought it was a little sad because the girl did not have anyone to play with. The cog on the her dress made her look mysterious. She left the tower and nobody was outside. She went back in ..everything was normal again…a balloon came flying in the window !!

16  One day there was a young girl. She was about twenty years old. She wore a purple dress and lived with no family in an old clocktower. She had a cog on her dress. Her cog-dress fitted in to the other cogs in the tower.The next day she decided to get out of the clock tower and have her first look at the town.But the big clocktower made the whole town freeze and go black and white. So she said to herself I must go back. So she went back and everything went normal.

17  Once upon a time there was a cog but it wasn’t  a normal cog.It was actually a girl. One day when she was doing her job, she decided to go out and see the world.  But when she went outside everything went black and white. So she went back into the tower and everything went back to normal.
