Larry’s True Identity

Derick Boberson, Madley Primary School

Chapter Five

Larry reappeared on a fish-shaped planet.

Larry-27
In front of him there was a dark, gloomy cave. He cautiously walked in and triggered the security sensors. All of a sudden he heard a voice, it sounded very unhappy with Larry for intruding. The voice belonged to Alfie the elf.“Stay there!” shouted Alfie as he went to get his fish (everyone on the planet had one!). When he returned he started to hit Larry with the fish.Larry-28

“Ouch!” cried Larry, “That hurts!”

“Good!” shouted the elf, “You shouldn’t be here.” Alfie continued to hit Larry with his fish.

“Stop!” shouted Larry, “I come in peace – you should treat strangers with more respect.”

Alfie was surprised that Larry was standing up to him. Everyone else he had hit with his fish had run away. The elf was impressed and decided to make friends with the stranger.

“My name is Alfie – do you want to see my pets? I have a Tranzfly and a Valkaean?” he said with pride.

“Oh, yes please. My name is Larry by the way. What are your pets called?”Alfie looked puzzled. “They don’t have names.”When Larry saw them, he was a bit scared and wondered if they would hurt him. Then the Tranzfly and the Valkaean came over, making friendly purring noises.

“Your pets know how to greet a stranger” said Larry as he smiled at Alfie. “Why don’t you call them ‘Peace’ and ‘Respect’ to remind you how to.”

Alfie laughed and agreed. Suddenly, a wind started to swirl and began to suck Larry out of the cave.

“Thank you for coming” he heard Alfie shout and he saw him throw something shiny towards him. Larry just managed to grab it before the wind whisked it away. It was a diamond with a letter ‘Y’ caught inside it.

Larry flew in the wind for a long time and eventually landed with a bump in the garden by his foster house.

After the impact, his belt fell off. He stared at it in amazement – the letters had magically arranged themselves to spell LARRY!

Now he knew who he was, his house was not just a house any more – it had became a home. Larry had found who he was and he loved being him! Oh yeah!
