The Lost Egypt (A Story By Xander)

My delightful 4 year old son told me this story the other day, and I taped it so I could 1) craft a scrapbook page of it, and 2) show everyone what a literary genius he is! So enjoy this original tale by Mr. Xander Bruno! (Please note the in the original telling, Egypt was pronounced Engypt.)

Once upon a time, there was a lost, lost, lost Egypt. And a guy named Pharaoh, who had a gun and a sword. And he went somewhere. He went somewhere. To a big, big pyramid. And that was the lost Egypt.

And he stopped the car, opened the door, and shutted it really tight. He went inside the pyramid. It was really spooky. There were green glowing eyes. He looked to see what it was and it was huge. It was a really huge, huge, huge spider! It was creeping along and he shot it with his sword, then it laid down softly, closed its eyes, and it was dead.

Then behind him there was a big sound like this: “ooowwaaaahh”. And he looked and you know what he saw? Mummies! And then he just looked at them, and shot them right through the face. Real quick. Then he tried to run but he couldn’t. There was tons of mummies. The mummies had swords. And then he saw a guy that looked better than him. It looked a lot like Steve, his brother. Then he fighted all the mummies. He drove his sword right into their eyeballs, and he shooted them right in the mouth. Then they died. The end.
