BANANA GURL

Today I had to write a narrative. so here it is. wait until the end to find a nice and wierd surprise. :)

BANANA GURL!




Once upon a time there lived a very unusual girl, who loved BANANAS,her name was Penny. Penny LOVED bananas so much that all she ate was bananas,Banana cake,banana with yogurt not any other fruit would go in her food,baked banana oatmeal,banana nut muffins etc. The only thing Penny drank was banana smoothie, and tea it was banana flavoured, she refused to eat anything else.




Her days were always the same, nothing really changed, but one Sunday morning, Penny decided to go out shopping, to buy more bananas, for a recipe. Penny was heading out to her grandma’s house for tea. Time flew by and Penny had already finished her banana cake.




She drove down to her granny's house.Opened the door and to her surprise someone else was there, earlier that day when Penny was talking with her grandmother on the phone she didn't mention anyone coming over other than her. She thought “oh well, must be a last minute guest, I should have enough banana cake for her?”




Penny entered the house and took the banana cake into the kitchen, and prepared tea for the three of them.




1 week later...




Penny did her normal routine for Sunday, she went to the grocery store and bought more bananas and made her banana cake, this time she made a bit extra because she had a feeling that the girl from her last visit would be there again. And she was right when she headed over to her granny’s house and she was there again.




Last week when she visited her grandmother she didn't ask for the girl's name because for some reason she thought it would be rude. But she pushed that aside and just asked her because she thought “what could be so bad about asking, right?”. She asked and she said her name was......”Hope, My names hope” she said it as if she was annoyed with Penny.

Penny replied with “oh, hi hope, my name is pen-” before she could finish her name hope cut in and said “Penny, Yes I know I know, all your gran talks about is you!”

“Oh really? That's great. Btw how do you know my grandmother, are you her other granddaughter? Orrr.....??” “ im her health instructor, btw I don’t think you should be feeding her banana food all the time, to much of the same thing is bad for her, I mean I know bananas are healthy but to much of the same thing can be bad for someone so i suggest you either just leave alone or feed her different foods, I'm pretty sure you know she's 94.” “what do you mean, I eat banana food all the time, I mean that's the only thing I eat and I’m perfectly fine” penny starts to get this weird chill behind her neck “ you...WHAT?? YOU EAT BANANA FOOD ALL THE TIME?!?!, That’s it... Wingardium bananiosa!” POOF! Nothing happened but at Penny house something did happen. her friend Sky was there and Penny said “ Sky I’m a banana! I’m a BANANA!!” {WHAT????}
