One day i was walking through the park in summer when i heard a whistling noise in the air i looked up and i saw a very large tree with florescent green leaves. The light from the sun bounced of of the leaves making them look shiny. I walked up to the tree and i started to climb it, the bark was smooth. I got half was and i saw a big flat branch about the size of 2 beds. I climbed down while making little dents with my foot in the bark so that when i came back i could climb back up, like rock climbing. The next day i came back with supplies like wood, a drill, a lamp, some nails and a big cloth that i could sit on. I made my way up the tree to the branch. When i got to the big branch i put a big cloth over it and i laid there and looked up and there was a small twig, so i put a lamp on there and started building some walls around the branch.
A few days later i had completed the little tree house and i put a sign on it saying DO NOT ENTER UNLESS INVITED!!! I told my three best friends to go to the tree and climb it because there was a big surprise up there. when the got up i told them to come in and we sat down and we played music, played games, eat, drink and we always met there after school. Days past and it was becoming autumn and the leaves of the tree started to turn brown one by one. Me and my friends went to the tree the leaves started to fall. We ran back and started to collect some bags to get all the leaves back so we could keep the hideout safe. So we started to glue the leaves to the wooden walls and all around. They wouldn’t stick, they just kept falling off. The little wooden tree house was being revealed more and more and people started to climb up to see what it was.
We stayed in the house barricading the door so the people wouldn’t get in. Then i thought of a plan, to make a business. Me and my friends started to get some food and drink. We made a stool and started to sell the food and drink to people who wanted to come up. We made little areas that people could chill in. We made a lot of money so we started a little shop where you can chill out in. We used the money to make the house look better and we expanded the house so it was twice as big. It was a Tuesday in the middle of winter and we paid an electrician to add electricity to the house and we bought a kettle that we could make tea, coffee and hot chocolate. We made signs with the price of the contents of the shop and we decided to call the shop the tree shop. We overflowed with customers every day and we decided to start hiring and after a few months we were a real shop.
We got paid every week and the money we made, we split between each other. We opened the shop on the 12th of October and on every 12th day of the month we gave away 12 drinks and 12 different foods to 12 people in the shop because we have done so well with this business. Today is December 8th and we decided to make some more improvements to the tree shop and we added stairs to the tree shop and we hired more people and the business was getting bigger and bigger until we got a phone call. I picked up the phone and it was a man asking if i would want to sell my business for a very large price of £1.5 million. I was amazed, speechless, i didn’t know what to say. He wanted us to go world wide and it had only been a couple of months. So i called back and i said yes.
