A story told by Eva Hutchings
Once upon a time, there were two vacuums and they loved
each other very much. They almost spent all their time with
each other, and almost always stayed together. One day, the
husband (Eli) went into the woods to hunt.
The wife (Rose) went outside, waiting for her husband to return
so she could cook. However, she didn’t see a suspicious hole
right in front of her, and fell in! She landed in a rocky, cave like
hole. She looked around, groaning in pain. As she looked, she
saw a ruff, rugged train track and some old supplies. She had
landed right in what seemed to look like an old mineshaft!
She soon noticed that there was no way out, and she would
have to look for an exit. So, she got up, thinking that this might
not be so bad after all.
When Eli got back from his hunt, and looked around for Rose.
When he didn’t find her, he started to get worried. He tried to
decide if he should call the police or just keep looking. He
finally decided that he would keep looking for a little while
longer. So he looked in every single spot of the house. When
he still couldn’t find her, he decided he should call the police.
The police told him that they would come over as fast as they
could to look for his wife. When the police got there, they
asked if he had already looked for her, and he said yes. Then he
answered multiple questions about Rose.
Meanwhile, Rose heard a bang above her, and it got dark. She
suddenly realized that this was no ordinary hole; it had a trap
door that opened and closed. It must have fallen down!
Rose squinted into the darkness, trying to find light, but had no
success, and she wailed; worried and scared. Then she saw a
tiny light, and went toward it, feeling around her on her way.
As she got closer, she saw that it was torchlight, from a lit
torch! She grabbed it as soon as she got there and looked
around. She spotted a rusted cart on the track, with a chest in
it. She ran to it and saw it was not locked, so she pried the rusty
chest open, finding a map.
Rose watched the cart until it was out of sight. She lowered her
head in dismay, for she had a long way until she even caught
sight of the gold and exit.
Later, back at the house, Eli was angry because the police didn’t
help him, so he set off by himself---right over the mineshaft
Rose landed in!
He continued on, not knowing what lay beneath him--his wife!
He looked everywhere. He looked at various shops and
markets that Rose loved, and asked the people at the desks if
they had seen Rose, but they all said no. He became even more
worried until a thought hit him. What if she is at home now?
So he rushed home, hopeful but he had no luck. She was
nowhere to be seen.
Back at the house, Eli was sitting on the couch with his
shoulders slumped. He had tried everything to find his wife, but
he just had no success. He knew his wife could get lost or
kidnapped, and Eli wanted neither of those to happen to his
sweet wife. Eli loved Rose very much, and he wanted no one to
hurt her. He went upstairs to Rose's room and looked at her
various rock and jewel collections that reminded him of her
sweet, sweet heart, and how much he missed her.
Back at the cave, Rosy felt awake, and felt sunshine on her face.
Suddenly, she sat straight up, wondering where the light came
from. What? She thought, how is there- She stopped as she
spotted a small crack in the ceiling above her. Oh. That’s where
it’s coming from. I wonder why I didn’t notice that before. She
was confused. Then she remembered. Ohhh…I thought I saw a
star somewhere.
At the house, Eli had slid down the rope, looked at the long
path and said, "You know what, I think I'm just going to walk
over the mineshaft… Or cave, whatever it is." So, he climbed up.
Then he said, "I think I've got a map of the place… Let's just see
if I can get around. If I know where that cave leads, I can walk
over it.”
Eli went into the garage and found the map, in his never-used
stuff. “Hmmm…” He said, “I thought I had that in the mining
stuff.” Then he remembered when he used to work in the
mines, long, long ago. When he didn’t know at all about Rose.
That was when I was about 10! He thought, digging through his
mining supplies. Then he went back out to the hole, and
started marking a path where the mineshaft was.
Meanwhile, below the ground, Rose and John were continuing
on the trail. Rose had the map and John had the
directions. Soon they stopped to rest. "What's that?" Rose
asked, confused. "I don't know," John replied, "let's find
out." So they looked into the gleaming whore and
gasped. There was the gold! Just sitting there in front of their
eyes. "That… That must mean we're close to the exit!" Rose
exclaimed, shaking with excitement.
Then she saw John, staring in front of them not moving. "What
is it, John?" she asked, worried. "I… I… I see…" John stuttered.
"What? You see what?" Rose replied.
"The exit..." came the faint words from John. He started to get
pale then suddenly, jumped up and celebrated. "I'm finally
getting out of here!!! I'm finally getting out of here!!!" Soon,
Rose joined him, and they both sang, "We're finally getting out
of here!!! We're finally getting out of here!!!" Then they
continued, the exit just ahead. Hmmm... I feel like were missing
something…*gasp* we forgot the gold! "Wait, John wait!" She
exclaimed, trying to catch up to her best friend. "What is it
Rose?"
In the yard, Eli was still marking the path when he heard a
sound. Cre-cre-creeeaaak!
What was that? He thought, shaking. Well it's not nighttime
yet... wait! Could that be…?
*pant* *pant* "Phew!" Came a voice, a familiar voice. Eli
twirled his head around, and saw the grass shake. Rustle!
Rustle! Rustle! Came the noise, swiftly. He took a look at the
patch of grass, then saw it was another trap door! Quickly and
excitedly he took a yank at the trap door, and it tumbled open.
With it came Rose and John, carrying a gold nugget! "Where
were you?!?!" Both of them yelled at the same time. "I've been
looking for you everywhere! I'm glad to know you're safe." Eli
cried. "Me too," Rose replied, "I first, dropped in this trapdoor
that was open, then there was a huge wall and-" "Woah, woah,
woah, you need to slow down a little bit. How about we go
inside and we'll talk about this. I am not losing you again." Eli
said, nervously. "It's getting dark. How about some dinner for
all of us? John will be staying here with us tonight." Rose
replied, "I'll tell you the story tomorrow." She added, a grin on
her face.
So, they went back home to eat dinner and get a good night's
rest.
