    When Roses Fly
    Once upon a time there was a girl named Rose. Rose was a lonely soul, living in a small woodhouse in a forest. She wasn´t happy at all, because the only person Rose trusted was her grandma.  They lived 700 km apart. One day Rose received a letter by an owl from her grandma, saying that she wasn´t healthy anymore. BY AN OWL… really? Her grandma must have watched too much Harry Potter. Like she could just send a WhatsApp. Rose knew what to do, so she packed her three things. Some energy drinks and her very nice Börek. Also, her PS4 with some games like Fort…Fortnite hell no! Now Rose was finally ready for her trip. After 1 hour of watch Rose found a field full of roses, because her grandma loved roses. She decides to pick some of them. While watching Rose heard “money in the grave” by Drake, it remembers her of grandma. Rose just made 1/3 of the way when her new airpods pro where low on battery. After a long day Rose finally found a place to sleep, but there are monsters nearby. After killing all of them, Rose finally could sleep.
    The next morning, Rose woke up again and she saw the sea in front of her. She wonder, how she should come about it? But then she suddenly spoke to a stranger: "Well, it looks like you want it. Maybe I can help you, I´m a treacherous tug and if you give me some money, I´ll give you a boat and you´ll come over there." Rose thought that she has no money for the tug´s. Rose give him her airpods pro because they had cost a very, very, lot of money. The stranger is lucky enough and Rose get an old boat. She start unsure. After a few days, she notice that there is water in the boat and that she is almost drowning. A day goes by and Rose ha to swim in the water as the boat has set and Rose go through her mind that she will probably die again. And how expect, she dies. But she is not in the heaven, but lies sweat bathed in her bed and thinks: Pooh luckily it seems to have been only a dream.

    Rose is a pilot from Turkish airlines. Today she has a flight from Iran to West Virginia. Before she went in the plane she went to a coffee shop and had a coffee. When she was finished with drinking her coffee she went to the check in gate and asked if the plane check is done. Yes the plane check was done and she went into her cockpit. After everyone got in she started the turbines. After 10 hour of a relaxing flight the left turbine got out. Rose saw it on her monitor but she couldn't do anything. Rose got the idea to fly the plane into the Atlantic Ocean. So she did that and saved all passengers.

    When Roses fly

     

    Hey,

    I´m Rosi Cooper and I´m 16 years old. My last trip to the USA was very crazy.

    My friend Rose Malfoy (17) and I flew from Berlin to New York. Our Internet friend Elena lives in New York and we wanted to visit her. Rose and I were on the way to the plane. After the long flight we stood at the New York airport. First I came my bag and then Rose´s. Then I had to go to the testroom and Rose needed to wait for me. But when I came out of the testroom I couldn´t see Rose. Where was Rose??? I was so scared. ´´Rose,Rose´´ I had called through the airport. She wasn´t anywhere. I texted her  ´where are you?´  but she didn´t answer. Ohh I had an idea where Rose could be. Yes, she was at Mc donals. Rose was hungry and wanted somrthing to eat. After she had ate, we called a taxi which drove us to Elena´s house. We were so happy to see our Internet friend but we were tired and we liked to chill. I opend my bag and noooo!!!!!! 

    There was the next fail. That wasn´t my bag. Rose called a man at the airport and explained the problem. We had to drive back to the airport and changed the bag.

    Then everything was perfect and we had a wonderfull evening.

    It was a fun, exciting and adventurous journey. That was the crazy trip to the USA.

    When roses fly

    I saw a rose flying high. It came to me and I said “you’re so beautiful and I will be as pretty as you!” And after a time the rose will fly. And if the rose fly I will look for another rose wich is prettier than the last. I stand in a meadow overflowing with flowers, one rose more beautiful than the other. I love all this roses. On the flower meadow I see a white rose that reminds me of Sophie Scholl. She was a fighter for women’s rights. After I went over a few things in my head about Sophie ScholI, I went home and went to sleep. I still dream about the pretty roses.

    When roses fly

    Hello, I am Jack and I want to tell you my holiday story. But first something about me: My name is Jack as you already know and I am 14 years old. I live with my family in a big old house which is in a little village in Wales. In my last summer holydays my best friend Noah and I managed an adventure! So it began:

    I lay in my bed and looked out of the window. It was a great day. The sun shone. I thought about my holydays. No homework, no school, I could do whatever I wanted. But I was wrong. When I went into the kitchen to have breakfast with my family, they looked at me with a very serious look. I thought I had made something wrong again. So I said:”I didn’t do something wrong!” But then my brother Rob looked at me and started to laugh. He said: “You are silly our parents look so serious, because you woke up so late. It’s already twelve a clock!” ”Oh, sorry!” I answered. Then I took me something to eat and we started with our breakfast. When we were ready my brother and I stood up, but our parents said with serious a voice: “Sit down please!” We looked at each other, but this time we didn’t know what was wrong. My father started to talk. He said, we should to talk about our holiday plans. Oh no! I thought, last holidays we had to help mom and dad! But luckily dad said, he wanted to make something new, something very great. What should be so great, I asked me. At this moment my mother said, they planned to move, because our house was too small and they found a new house. “That’s sounded good, but where we will move?”I asked. “The new house wouldn’t be so far from here”, mom said , “so you and your brother wouldn’t have any problems with school and friends. But you can’t see our new home before we move. It’ll be a surprise!”

     

    A few weeks later we had already packed all our things. Everything was ready to go. My family sat in the car and waited for me. But I stood in the corridor and looked around our home. I couldn’t believe that we wouldn’t come here again. But I also looked forward to our new home. So I climbed into the car and we drove for a few minutes. We were so excited. Then, my dad shouted:” There we are, this is our new home, look! Isn’t it perfect?” I looked to the left side and saw it. A very big and old house! It was really perfect! I was sure I wouldn’t miss our old home (maybe a little bit). We went out of the car and opened the door which stood between us and our new life. The house was so big! My room was in the second floor and we had an attic. I chose to explore it tomorrow, because it was late and I called my best friend Noah to help me.

    On the next day I slept long again, but I woked up when the bell ringed .It was Noah! Yesterday I told him he can come at 11 o’clock. It was already 11! So I jumped out of my bed and made me ready. Then I opened the door. Noah wanted to see all our rooms so I showed him everything. After that we explored the attic. There were so many old books from this guy, who lived here before. And old lamps and furniture! For over an hour we looked for old things. We also found an old clock. After a while Noah made a very interesting found: And old piece of paper. It was special, because it shows a map  and there was drew something too! It was a treasure-map! Noah likes to search for treasures. He made lots of travels with his dad. Then they slept in a tent, outside! And they were looking for treasures of course. One time I came after they and we had lots of fun. (But this is another story…) When we looked at the map we noticed something was different. The way which was showed ended at one place. There was no cross (The symbol that shows the place where the treasure is) But we knew the area that was showed. It was near our new home. We recognized the big forest and the landscape with the many fields. We decided to follow the way, but first we had to pack a few things.

    We sought a map of this region. So we were sure, that we didn´t get lost. Bye the way, we thought, the treasure-map was very old. It could be different to the today´s ways. We packed a backpack too. There we put something to eat and drink and a shovel, to dig up the treasure. Noah said, we should take a metal detector with us. With that we would find the treasure. So we went to Noah´s house to get it. We looked at the treasure-map and went along the drawn way. We came along some trees, streets, houses and fields. After two hours we arrived at the place where the way on the map ended. There was nothing special. No path, no street, only one single tree. We searched the area with the metal-detector, but we did found nothing. Now I was disappointed and confused. We had hoped to find a great treasure. When it was getting late, we decided to go home.

     At this night I couldn´t sleep. I always had to think about the treasure hunt and the map. Why the way ended there? Why there was no cross? And why we haven´t found a treasure? Something was wrong! Suddenly I had an idea! Maybe on this place was no treasure, because you had to find a clue. Had we only searched for the wrong thing?

    At the next day in the school I told Noah what I thought. He said it could be possible. This afternoon we came back to the place. There we looked for a clue. It was very hard to find it. But while we ate our picnic I saw letters at the tree. We read it. There was written: “Look there, where roses fly!” And there was drew a rose with wings. That was our clue! When we went back, we always thought about the clue. Where roses fly? What did that mean? Rose can´t fly!

    On a Saturday my family and I were invited to a marriage from our friends. We sat on a bench in the church. It was very interesting but one thing didn´t want to get out of my head: What was meant with “Look there, were roses fly?” I looked at the people in the church. They looked happy and the bride wore a beautiful dress and the groom a suit. They went to the altar and small kids threw rose leaves in front of them. What? Rose leaves? Roses can´t fly, but rose leaves! The place we should look is the church! There roses fly while a marriage when people threw it. And rose fly while a funeral too!

     After the marriage I drove to Noah to tell him my thoughts. We decided to go to the church next day. Of course we couldn´t go in the church when it wasn´t open. But on the next day there was a service, so we could go into the church. We sat in the second line. There were many other people in the church. We sing together, we prayed and we believed in god. We had lots of fun. We found it was a pity to go again. When the other people went home, we stayed. We thought were the treasure could be, but was there really a treasure in the church? Where could it be? We searched a long time. Then I found a wooden sign on that was drew a rose with wings! There was wrote: The real treasure is the community, the belief and the bond with god. That’s how we realized that there was a treasure. The treasure was the community and the faith. We made the treasure hunt and had lots of fun. This was also a part of the treasure.

    So my adventure ended. I hope you enjoyed it and learned something: The treasure is to take part! Yes, it was a pity that there was no real treasure, but we had fun and this was important.

    Brrr, the bell rung. I opened the door, it was roughly 12 o’clock in the morning, so I stood up very late and I was tired. Outside my boyfriend Alex stood with a big  smile on his face. “Surprise, surprise! Happy birthday!” He kissed my cheek. I was very lucky because I thought he would just come in the evening, but now he was here! We went into my house. We sat on my couch and there he gave me his present and said: “ I hope you like it.” It was a letter, I opened it and in it I could read 'We will fly to Germany!'

    At first I thought it was a joke, because he pranked me often before an I asked: “Really?” He knocked. I asked him, when we would drive there. He meant: “Today and we have to be in 2 ½ hours by the airport.”

    I was shocked but also I was happy, because I didn’t expect that I would get such a nice present from him and fly today to Germany. So we packed our suitcase and we drove by his car to the airport. There we didn’t wait a long  time till we went into the plane. After we landed in Berlin by the airport, we took a taxi to get to our hotel. The hotel called “Melia Berlin” and there we had an amazing room.

    In Berlin we visited the Brandenburger Tor, Madame Tussauds, Berliner Fernseherturm and the Mall of Berlin. This we did on Saturday an on Sunday and on Monday, when we wanted to go in a park of Berlin, we saw on the way to it a person who had a sign in his hand. On it stood:  A guided tour of the second world war. Especially many informations about Sophie Scholl and her doings.

    Alex looked to me. I knew, what he thought. He wanted very much to take part in this tour, because he’s very intrested in history of Germany an this 2nd world war. So he asked, if we could take part in it and I said yes.

    The man, who headed this tour, gave us very much information to Sophie Scholl. He said, she was against nationalism, so she joined the resistance group “Weiße Rose”, where all persons, who are in the group are against the nationalism. He gave us many other informations, for example that this resistance group made pamphlets or  he told us when Sophie died. I liked this guide very much and I saw in Alex’s eyes  that he did it too. So after this were 5 hours ago and we went into the park. There we lay on the grass and closed our eyes. I thought a long time about this, what the guide, because it was very interesting. I think, it was the best idea from Alex to give me this as his present to fly to Germany and to see Berlin.

    When Roses Fly

    It´s a normal day. Rose is waiting for her plane. She´s so excited about her first flight, that she forgets to stand up and go to the Gate. Then she hears a voice´s calling: “All passengers of plane 12 must come to Gate A59! In 5 minutes the plane takes off!” Rose runs to Gate A59. In the last minute she manages to go into the plane.

    Just a few minutes later she sits down on seat 19F and the plane takes off. Twenty minutes after the start there are turbulences. Second by second they get more intense and then BAMM!!! Something explodes. Rose is very scared. She lookes out of the window and sees that one engine is on fire and does’nt work anymore. The plane does’nt fly not straight. Everyone is crying. The plane looses altitude and the ocean comes closer and closer.

    Rose wakes up and feels the warm sand under her body. She opens her eyes but it is too bright and the sun is shining into her eyes. So she closes her eyes for a while. A few moments later she sees many trees and hills. Rose is very hungry and her body hurts. One of her arm bone is broken. She stands up and explores where she is. Then she sees that she is on an island with no people around. Alone on an island!

    On her second day on the island Rose discovered a ship wrack. There she found food, a knife and also a fishing rod. So she could stay alive for 12 days. While she is preparing some food she suddenly hears the roaring motor of a boat. The water police is coming to explore, what happened with the plane. It was her chance. She calls: “Help! Help!” Finally someone noticed her shouting.

    Rose is at home now. She thinks:  “I will never fly again!” But wait, Rose survived twelve days on the island. And the number of her plane was ...!
