Secret attic#2

Written by Starshine

“Oh, Rilla, what’s that?” Ria asked.

She pointed to a square with handles on the ceiling.

“Don’t open that. That’ll be a water hose or electric light ranch.” Rilla replied.

“I wonder how it looks like.” she said to herself and opened it.

“Hey! Oh, boy! Rilla Rilla! That’s a very new attic! Let’s go up there! Right now! Don’t you think it’ll be so fun!” Ria screamed with excitement.

Rilla could see a glimpse of narrow walls and dusts. Like a attic.

“Oh man.. That looks like a really old attic. Sounds fun. Let’s go then.” said Rilla.

And lifted a chair to clumb up, and lifted Ria up in the attic, and climbed up too.

“What is this place?” Rilla asked.

“Wow! A mystery adventure!” said Ria.

Then, they heard a voice.

“Hello, children. Are you here for adventures?” the voice said.

They turned around and saw a woman wearing a white gown.

“Who are you?” asked Rilla.

“I am Elizabeth. I built this house hundred years ago.

Have you read a book called magic tree house?(Magic tree house is a book by Mary Pope Osborne. It is very famous.)“ She asked.

They nodded.

“You can think of me as Morgan le Fay of that story, but I am not a librarian, I am a job resercher.

I devide jobs and, I am planning to write a dictionary of it.

I have to find my own magic helpers.

“And, may I ask your names?” Elizabeth asked.

“I am Rilla. I’m eleven years old. This is my younger sis. Ria. she is nine.” Rilla replied.

“Why are you in the attic?” Ria asked.

“As I said, I am waiting here. Searching for a magic helper.” Elizabeth explained.

“She explained already, Ria. Stop bothering her.” Rilla scolded,

“Humph, you don’t even do 1% good.” Ria said.

“Would you like to be helpers?” Elizabeth asked.

“But, we don’t know many jobs. We are just little kids.” Ria said.

“We learned about this in social studies, silly. You are too foolish.” Rilla teased.

“I’m only in second grade. I don’t study social studies. Only you did. We only learned main jobs. You are so mean.” Ria snapped.

“You just have to go on and learn about different kinds of job. I am planning to write a dictionary+story book. I am too tired to do the learning myself. It’s all just learning, so you don’t have to worry. Then, will you do it?” Elizabeth asked.

“Okay. Rilla, I will do it. You should do it. Elizabeth, Rilla will do it too.” Ria decided.

“What? Why should I listen to you? You are just a tiny-guy.” Rilla snapped.

“Anyway, you are thinking that you want to do it.” Ria shot back.

“Yes, of course. I think it will be a good help for studies.

Ria and Rilla were thrilled.

“Then, what’s the first job?” Ria asked.

“Food stylist. Do you like it?” Elizabeth asked.

“I really like it!” Ria said.

“Ugh, I’m always a food stylist at home. I always have to cook dinner when our parents are busy. Even when I don’t want to. Mom makes me.” Rilla said.

“Oh, of course you need to. Food styling is a useful thing every day. You might not notice yet.” Elizabeth said.

“If you go through this drawer, then, you’ll be able to go to a classroom. I don’t know how it looks like. My siblings all updated it. I have lots of siblings. They teach in the classroom. They are teachers. They teach thousands of children who want to be magic helpers. They are not magic helpers yet, they are getting trained. Age doesn’t matter in this. Older kids have already learned jobs, but many need imaginations. Little kids need to learn both things, but they has some imaginations. It’s a Magic Training Academy.

There will be thousands of other kids, and, if there is a person your age, be friends with them.” Elizabeth said.

“Oh, you are NOT lucky. You have so many siblings. That probably made you so tired, when you were little like us.” Rilla said.

“Oh, never. My siblings are very nice. I have at least 30 siblings. I like them very much.” Elizabeth replied.

“You ARE lucky, that your siblings are nice. Ria is so terrible. She only does what she wants.” Rilla said.

Ria glared at her.

“Rilla, you are a bad sister too. You’re younger sis will be tired!” Ria said.

“Then, do we start now?” Ria asked.

“Sure.” Elizabeth replied.

She opened a drawer.

If you come in this and close the lid, you will slide into the room. Get it?”

“Yes!” Rilla and Ria replied.

“Bye! We’ll be back soon!” Ria said.

Ria pulled Rilla in the drawer and closed the lid.

Suddenly, they were sliding down, fast.

Then, everything was still.

“Where are we? Are we in the right place?” Ria asked.

There was no reply.

“Rilla?” Ria asked and turned around.

Rilla was sleeping on the floor.

“Rilla you sleepyhead! Wake up at once!” Ria yelled.

Rilla jumped up.

“Yeah, sorry. I think we are in a secret garden.” Rilla said.

They were in a room filled with many kinds of plants.

“Maybe we’re in the wrong place.” Ria said.

Suddenly, a young woman entered.

“Hello, are you Elizabeth’s helpers?” The woman asked.

They nodded.

“I am Eliza. I am the second child.” Eliza said.

“Hello. We are Ria and Rilla.” Ria and Rilla said at once.

“Yep. As you heard from Elizabeth, you are learning about food stylist. Please write down everything you know about a food stylist.” Eliza said.

They sat down on the table and began to write fast.

Rilla wrote

About food stylists,

Food stylists decorate food.

They make food look good enough for people to eat.

Also, they take photos of the food and use as advertizement.

I like the style of lovely food they decorate.

And, we have to know about all kinds of color’s kind of style.

Ria wrote

I do not know much about food stylists.

I just know that they make foods lovely for people to eat.

They look pretty.

I like pretty foods.

Anyway, the important thing is that I like foods.

“I like your jobs kids. But, Ria, your writing is a little childish. And we are not decorating the writing.” Eliza said.

“That’s because I AM a child.” Ria complained.

“Now what?” Rilla asked.

Of course, you decorate. You will decorate a cake. This cake is just a normal large round bread. So, you decorate them.

I will be back in 30 minutes. Elizabeth is holding a meeting for all of us. See you later.” Eliza said and walked out the door.

“We can use all of these, right?” Ria said, pointing to all of the cook ingredients.

“Of course.” Rilla said and started to decorate.

25 minutes later...

They were finished making a cake.

“Rilla, yours is gorgewos!” Ria said.

“It’s gorgeous, not gorgewos. Anyway, thanks.” Rilla said.

Rilla’s one had purple cream, and used white cream to make gorgeous shapes. And, used the blueberries to spell

‘MADE BY RILLA’.

“Yours is cute.” Rilla said.

Ria’s one had choco cream.

It was in a shape of a bear. She used choco chips for the eyes and mouth, and a cookie for the nose. She used white cream for ears.

“Thanks.” Ria said.

“Now, we make this gorgeous.” Rilla said.

They picked 4 items from the table.

Rilla picked a small tablecloth, two gorgeous plates, a cherry, and a purple flower.

Ria picked a cute bear shaped plate, a brown fork, a bear patterned tablecloth.

Soon after, Eliza came back.

“Oh, children. Your work is lovely!” Eliza exclaimed.

“Now, let’s take photos.”

They took photos taking turns.

They tried turning the camera this way and that way.

Turned left, right, left, and right.

They wrote the advertisements by the computer.

And, they printed it and hung it on the wall.

They used it to make a good shape.

“I am really proud of my work.” Rilla said.

“I am more proud of my work than you.” Ria said.

“You might think we forgot, but, what’s the surprise?” Ria asked.

“Oh, it’s not a great thing, I just want you to meet the other students. You will get to see the teachers with the other 30 jobs.” Eliza said.
