park for them. At first the dinosaurs looked harmless. But soon they got out

Mini-saga to, jak sama nazwa wskazuje, opowieść w miniaturze. Ma ona swój początek, rozwinięcie i zakończenie. Może być poważna, ponura, straszna, radosna, zabawna lub romantyczna... Najważniejsze jednak, by zamknęła się w dokładnie 50 angielskich słowach.
W Wielkiej Brytanii mini-sagi co roku biorą udział w konkursie na najlepsze mini-opowiadanie organizowane przez gazetę Daily Telegraph.
W II LO organizujemy podobny konkurs w ramach Dni Języka Angielskiego. Zapoznajcie się z najlepszymi mini opowieściami autorstwa Sobieszczaków i sami spróbujcie napisać ciekawą mini-sagę.

They did not support me in my challenge.

I am in a coffin. Why? I am still alive!
There is less and less oxygen in here. I can see white angels.
Am I dying? I feel a prick of a syringe.
Brightness appeares before my eyes. Am I being carried to the other side? |

A beggar came to my house. He knocked on my door.
