Juliana 1st draft Once back at my small drab apartment, the puppet, who had been silent in his bag on the way home, jumped up and stood, slowly rotating in place, as he took in his surroundings. “Heh, I’ve definitely seen better" he said, once done with his inspection. “Once we are through you will know surroundings much nicer than this". Then giving a small jump, and clapping his little wood hands together he gave a cry of excitement and said" Ok! Let’s start with our plan." "Plan"? I asked. "What plan? He shook his head in a disappointed manner. "Do you not want to be rich"? He asked.  " Well of course" I answered.  "That is why we need a plan!"  "Oh, ok."  After getting this straight, the puppet and I sat at my small table and thought, although I wasn’t sure what exactly I should be thinking about. After a while the puppet turned to me with a triumphant little gleam in his small black eyes. "My dear sir" he proclaimed to me, "I, Albert the puppet, have now got a plan to make you rich, and I shall be darned if it isn’t a good one!"  "Really? I asked, leaning towards the puppet, whose name seemed to be Albert."Go on! Tell it to me!" "Well, I am a puppet, yes? And you are a puppeteer, yes?" He said pausing for me to answer and then speeding on when I dint. "It is simply logical that we have a puppet show then!" "That your plan?" I asked, a mite disappointed. "Oh, but wait" He said lowering his voice, a strange little smile on his face."That is not all. I am going to tell you a secret about myself. A very dark little secret. I, a little beat up puppet, can control minds!" Hearing this I sat up is surprise. "Impossible!" I exclaimed. "Well, then." He said, the unsettling smile still resting on his painted lips, “I shall prove it to you! Let’s have that puppet show. The audience can be anyone, as long as it’s an audience!"

Six hours later I was standing I in a small square located in the slums. It wasn’t really a square, more of a tiny clearing amidst the squalor were the poor people of London made their homes. It dint matter, really, seeing as I had a small wooden platform set up, and all I needed were people to watch the show that was going to happen there in a few minutes. I looked around. So far my only audience was a few drunks and one or two street urchins. "Free show!' I yelled “Come one, come all!" and after a few of these yells I started to attract attention. After a decent sized crowd had gathered around my platform, I grabbed Albert from and jumped up onto my makeshift stage. Then, just as Albert had instructed me to do I called out “Welcome! Now I introduce you toooo... ALBERT!" At this the puppet jumped out of my hands and standing at the very edge of the platform looked out on the audience. He whispered something I could not hear and suddenly the rustlings and shuffling thorough the crowd ceased and they all stood, staring at Albert with raped attention. "Well”, He said, turning to me. "Do you have the bag"? I nodded. "Well, go down and stand with it open by the crowd!" He instructed tersely. I hurried down and just like that the people shuffled into a line and started depositing their few valuables into the bag! I stared as the contents of the bag grew and suddenly I smiled. I was going to be rich! Once they were all done Albert pointed to the people and exclaimed "Now Go! Go spread the word about Albert the puppet and Ronald the puppeteer!"

Once back at my small drab apartment, the puppet, who had been silent in his bag on the way home, jumped up and stood, slowly rotating in place, as he took in his surroundings. “Heh, I’ve definitely seen better" he said, once through with his inspection. “Once we are through you will know surroundings much nicer than this". Then giving a small jump, and clapping his little wood hands together he gave a cry of excitement and said" Allright! Let’s start with our plan." "Plan"? I asked. "wich plan? He shook his head in a disappointed manner. "Do you not want to be rich"? He asked. " Well of course i want to be rich!" I answered. "That is why we need a plan!" "Oh, ok." After getting this straight, the puppet and I sat at my small table and thought, although I wasn’t sure what exactly I should be thinking about. After a while the puppet turned to me with a triumphant little gleam in his small black eyes. "My dear sir" he proclaimed to me, "I, Albert the puppet, have now got a plan to make you rich, and I shall be darned if it isn’t a good one!" "Really? I asked, leaning towards the puppet, whose name seemed to be Albert."Go on! Tell it to me!" "Well, I am a puppet, yes? And you are a puppeteer, yes?" H said pausing for me to answer and then speeding on when I dint. "It is simply logical that we have a puppet show then!" "That your plan?" I asked, a mite disappointed. “I’ve done many puppet shows, and I’m not rich at all!” "Oh, but wait" He said lowering his voice, a strange little smile on his face. “You have never had a puppet like me. How many other puppets can dance and sing and talk all by themselves?"At this I finally got what he was talking about. With him as my puppet I would have the finest puppet show in the entire city! “That’s a wonderful idea!”I exclaimed. “Let’s start at once!” "Well, then." He said, the unsettling smile still resting on his painted lips, “Our first show must be free, just so people realize who we are” Seeing the disappointed look on my face he quickly added “Don’t worry, my dear fellow. One free show is no price to pay compared to the riches we shall soon reap. All we need is an audience! Any audience!” Six hours later I was standing I the middle of a small square in the middle of the slums. It wasn’t really a square, more of a tiny clearing amidst the squalor were the poor people of London made their homes. It dint matter, really, seeing as I had a small wooden platform set up, and all I needed were people to watch the show that was going to happen there in a few minutes. I looked around. So far my only audience was a few drunks and one or two street urchins. "Free show!' I yelled “Come one, come all!" and after a few of these yells I started to attract attention. After a decent sized crowd had gathered around my platform, I grabbed Albert from under it and jumped up on to it. Then, just as Albert had instructed me to do I called out “Welcome! Now I introduce you toooo... ALBERT!" At this the puppet jumped out of my hands and standing at the very edge of the platform looked out on the audience. “Hello all you lovely people!” called Albert in a singsong voice.”I hope you enjoy my performance today!” With this he proceeded to give the most marvelous performance, one full of song, dance, gymnastics, and even a few magic tricks involving a scarf and some cards. I stared at him as he did this, just as amazed and exited as any in the audience! Once done, He called out “We shall have another show soon! Tell your friends and family about us, Albert the puppet, and Ronald the Puppeteer”! He then performed one last back flip into my hands and became as limp and motionless as any puppet, except for his left eye which gave me a quick wink.

Aitana 1st draft Back at my house, I took the puppet out of my back and started looking at it. I noticed something strange about him, but it didn't matter to me, because I knew I was finally going to be rich. I started to think of how I would use the little puppet to make money. "A puppet show"-I thought aloud. "That's a great idea!"-exclaimed the puppet acting like he was already my friend. "That was just an idea"-I said to the puppet "...and by the way, how will I become really famous with just a puppet show?" "Well, it's not just a simple puppet show"-the puppet explained "I, Albert the puppet, am the one that's going to make you rich and famous" "You? What are you talking about? You are just a puppet." "A puppet that can talk and hypnotize people"-the puppet said "You can hypnotize people" "Yes, I can. I'll hypnotize them, so they can spread the word about the show and you will steal their things and money" "Let's start with the first show tomorrow then"-I said a little insecure

I felt something strange about the puppet. Something evil about it, but I didn't know what it was. Unsure about what I was about to do, I still started to prepare for the show. The next day, really early in the morning, I put some chairs and a little tent in the middle of the London town. A little later, a few poor people started to come. I decided to start the show with that little crowd. The show was on, and Albert started saying some kind of words I could barely understand. Suddenly, all the crowd seemed to really enjoy the show. They started to call more and more friends to join the show. Albert turned to look at me. "The planned has started"-he said.

Aitana 2nd draft Back home, I took the puppet out of the bag an put it on the shelve. My house was a bit messy and dirty, the shelve was the only place where I wouldn't lose the puppet. While putting it on the shelve, I noticed something strange about it, but it didn't matter to me, because I know that with my new puppet show I was going to become rich. "So, what's your plan?" -said the puppet, acting like it was already my friend. "A puppet show..." -I said "A puppet show is going to make you rich?" -asked Albert, the puppet "It's not going to be a simple puppet show. You are going to be in it, Albert. It's a puppet shout with a talking puppet..."-I explained to Albert "That sounds good."

I still felt something really strange about Albert, the puppet. Something evil about it, but I had no idea what it was. The next day, unsure about what I was going to do, I started to prepare for the puppet show. I put some chairs and a little tent on the middle of London town. A little later, a few poor people started to come. I decided to start the show with that little crowd. The show began. Ten minutes later, the people was already enjoying the show. The talking puppet and I were apparently good. An hour later, the show was over. Every single person left the place happy. Some even donated some money. "Our first show was a complete success." -I said to Albert.
