1. How did this happen?
By Nicole O., Year 4B
One day, there was a man who was fishing on a lake
in Africa. In this lake there were many hippos. While
the man was having a nap, one of the hippos
emerged from the water carrying the boat on his
back and leaving the man far from the lake.
And after a while, the man didn´t wake up. It was
already night time and the next day the man woke
up to a big surprise. He wasn´t on the lake anymore,
“Where am I?” The man shouted. And he didn´t
have a boat anymore. He had a bath also he was in
the Savanna. The man was terrified!
2. The Perfect Prank
By Carla O., Year 6C
Henry and George were twin brothers who loved to prank
each other. This time George had brought a snake to
place on Henry´s bed. Unfortunately, he had written his
plan in his ´secret´ notebook that Henry read earlier.
Later that day, Henry put a mix of sleep herbal blend into
George´s drink, to make him fall into a deep sleep during
his usual afternoon snooze.
George woke with a start. On a boat… Holding a paddle…
With a vest on… Surrounded by …. Grass?!
“How did this happen?!” He shrieked abruptly.
“I´ve been pranked once again!!” He screamed, while
noticing his mischievous brother giggling while petting a
snake.
