The battle between the grubs and the humans

Once there was a family who lived in an old house. The house was not tattered, cracked, or weak. It just had thin walls that allowed lots of noise to escape the rooms. The house was home to a married couple, and two children, a girl and a boy. Well, actually, the house was home to the family, but also to a family of yellow and black striped grubs living on the leaves of some bushes. 

The bushes surrounded part of the house, just in front of where the car was always parked. But not too much as in to create a wall so the car couldn't get out.

Now, you see, the family didn't realize there were grubs living in their area for a long time. One day, when the mother was cleaning the yard, she discovered the grubs all over and in the bushes.

The news spread around the house as quickly as a tiny light particle, and the daughter went to see what they were like. Gosh, they were disgusting! They were yellow, black, hairy, and slimy. The grubs were the size of a small eraser, just thinner. Of course, no one actually touched them. The daughter stared at them in horror and disgust.

Then, the son went to see what was going on.

He exclaimed in awe, “Oh look! It's a disgusting grub!”

There were so many, small and big, gross.

The children were so disgusted that they had had goosebumps up and down their arms!

Even though they were shocked and disturbed, they agreed to leave the grubs alone. But they were so hard to ignore! Finally, the mother gathered them up in a bag using chopsticks and then tried to kill them with bug spray.

But the grubs escaped from the bag by chewing a hole in it! It was

amazing if you consider how slow they move.

Sometimes the mother threw the grubs onto the road with the pair of chopsticks, which the mother held tight in her grip. The daughter, however, did not agree with that. She clearly thought that what her mother was doing was torture even if the grubs were disgusting. And clearly, her mother didn’t listen.

Her mother did succeed to get rid of some, but each day, after she and her daughter came home from a bike ride, the daughter would find some more. And the pattern continued. Her mother would throw them out, but then the next day there were more. As you could guess, the battle continued repeatedly. In the case of this battle, the mother was like the leader, and the daughter had the position of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan. The little brother was the one always inquiring and commenting about the grubs. And the father was the one who didn’t do anything but just watch.

On the other side, there obviously was a leader of the grubs who wanted to win over the bushes, even though he knew it would be impossible. He was a brave, fierce, warrior that would do anything to help his friends and family. He was known as the most bold leader there was at the time. To be sure that he was the leader, his fellow mates had made him a helmet made out of carved, wooden, sticks. Sometimes evil teammates tried to take his helmet off when he was sleeping, or trick him into giving it to them. Those grubs were always noticed and banished from the bushes. The leader was the one who had planned it all out when they escaped from the plastic bag that had gathered them all up. It was actually not only them. The mother had forgotten to clean the other side of the bushes, which meant there were more grubs. Those grubs had quickly made their way across the pavement and helped the other grubs escape. The leader had made a signal that meant it was an emergency. It was the one and only signal which the leader could only use. He was the only one of the grubs who could make the signal when it was time for A new leader. So now, here he was, known as the boldest leader of the time.

The daughter knew that when the grubs were all cleared out, she would miss finding them. She also wondered why the crows didn't eat them. After all, crows do have spectacular eyesight.

This battle went on for a long time, until one day, the mother noticed there were no more grubs around in their bushes.

The war was finished. Once again, the humans had won.

But the daughter knew that one day the grubs would come back and reclaim their bushes. She knew that her family had won this time, but one day the grubs would come back.

As she watched the bushes, a burnet moth fly into the air, and she then realise what type of grub she had living in her backyard. A faint smiled appeared on her lips, because she hoped that next spring, that they would meet again and she opened her door and went back into her home.

The End

This is based on events that happened to me during March and May. I had lots of time to get out of the house and go biking and outside because I wasn’t as school. I was doing online learning. The daughter, referring to me, was so intrigued that she had to do research about them! They really were disgusting. I would really like you guys to tell me your favorite part on this one, if you could. If you have any editing suggestions, let me know! Also Laila, just to let you know, this is another one of my narrative stories that I wrote at school, fixed. I can also tell you guys something funny but something also proves I’m pretty stupid. So I was going to write that the leader of the grubs was known as something else to the grubs too. I was wondering if there was a bug language so I could say “leader” in that language. When I searched it up, the search results were inquiring about computer bugs. I hope you enjoyed; thank you.
