The Hatched plan (creative story)

Kia ora today we had to write a story about a picture it was a snowy night and we had to make a story out of it. Here is what I wrote let me know what you think.

A pitch black sky with trees that reach the sky almost touching the stars with snow gliding onto the trees. The dark trees stretch over to the other side of the house with snow already covering the branches. The white fluffy snow covering the grass and shining from the light of the warm fire on the inside of the house. Little Timmy asleep in the second floor of the house waiting for footsteps on his roof.

Suddenly little Timmy heard thumping footsteps just above him quickly he jumped up in his dark blue pyjamas. There were no more footsteps on the roof Santa knew that he was awake and rushed away before he could be seen. Little Timmy set up a trap to catch Santa he put out trip wire attached to a bell. He fell a sleep and then he heard the bell ring he ran down stairs but he only seen his cat.

Timmy looked to his left and seen Santa staring at him with a angry look. Then he took out his long list found Timmy's name and put him onto the naughty list. Timmy ran back up stairs crying himself back to sleep. He had a bad dream that he stayed on the naughty list and never got off of the naughty list.

Then he woke up and looked down stairs under the tree and there were presents reaching up to the roof. He questioned why there were presents when he seen Santa write his name on the other list. Then he realised he might have put Timmy onto the good list. That made Timmy think what did he do that made him on the naughty list?
