The Harp
Once two friends named Luke and Kai were wandering behind the park when they heard a soothing sound coming from the end of the creek. There was a strange ripple in the water. More ripples came. They were following a pattern that turned into a song. Then they saw it. It was a energy yellow harp that was playing by itself. Beside it was a ocean blue flute that was also playing by itself. So its true he thought, it’s really true.
The boys played a game and said that the winner would pick which one they wanted. Kai got the flute and Luke got the harp. Luke said that they should go home and research, so he stuffed the harp into his backpack and walked home. When he got home Luke went to his room,locked the door,and took it out of his backpack. When he researched about the harp this is what he found: The harp is a stringed musical instrument which has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard, which are plucked with the fingers. When Kai researched he found this: Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an aerophone or reed less wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across an opening. When they finished they both met up in a place near a waterfall and a dark cave where nobody could see them.
“Did you bring your instrument?”said Kai. “Totally.”replied Luke. And with the first breeze of air, they started. Luke plucked the individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard. First it was a light drizzle,then a few water drops, and finally it came. A thunder storm! Kai heard thunder shocks coming closer and closer until it struck the flute. Kai whistled into the flute and produced a flow of air across an opening. They both watched as the nearby waterfall turn into a massive wave and wiped out the harp. “Dude. These aren’t just regular instruments. There magic.” “Lets call it a tie okay?”said Luke. “Okay.”replied Kai. But the flute wanted to win..
When Luke went to check on Kai he noticed the shattered window. “Dude, the worst thing happened!”Kai exclaimed. “What, no more P.E and Art in school?”asked Luke. “Worse!It’s the flute dude. It’s evil!”screamed Kai. “How?”said Luke. “When I went to go downstairs and watch T.V I heard a sound that almost melted my ears off. When I went to check, my window was shattered!”said Kai. “Dude, I don’t believe you.”said Luke. “Does this prove my point?”said Kai. When Kai moved out of the way he saw the flute floating in the air and trying to destroy Luke’s backpack. “Hey! That backpack’s new!”said Luke. “Wait, do you have the harp in your backpack?” Kai asked. “Obviously.”said Luke. “That’s it! The flute wants to destroy the harp since we said it was tie and nobody won. The flute wants to win.”said Kai. “If the flute wants to destroy the harp,we have to destroy the flute first.”said Luke.
They both plucked the strings from each side of the harp and let out a really loud drum roll. “Cover your ears!”shouted Kai. “Ok!”Luke shouted back. Once the drum roll stopped they uncovered their ears. “The flute its… its gone.”Kai stuttered. “I know.Now we have to hide the instrument before it hurts anybody else. The power of magic is too powerful.”said Luke. So Luke and Kai hid the harp and never said anything about what happened ever again.
