BR06: Scarecrows

‘They got some old clothes and made the scarecrow’s body.’

This story is very cute for me. The main characters are Biff and Chip and Fred. Fred is scarecrow, he is made for Biff and Chip. I will tell you about this book.
Biff and Chip had a little garden, and they planted some plants. But the birds ate the seeds and pecked the plants. And Biff and Chip had an idea. The idea was to make a scarecrow. They got some old clothes and made the scarecrow’s body. Mum helped them. Biff got a bag, Chip painted a face on it, and mum made the scarecrow’s hair. Chip wanted the scarecrow to be a boy, so he called it Fred. But Biff wanted it to be a girl. After the time, the magic took them inside the little house. The magic took them to a field, and the scarecrow came to life. Fred said ‘I’m alive! It’s magic!’ In the place, there were some scarecrows. Fred ran up to them and said ‘Where are you going?’ They were going to the barn dance. Biff and Chip weren’t scarecrows so they couldn’t go to the dance. So Fred had a good idea, Fred made Biff and Chip into scarecrows. They could go the dance and they all danced with the scarecrows. Suddenly, the key glowed, it was time to go home. The magic took them home, Fred didn’t alive.
This story was a little strange but interesting to me too!
