The race

   The race 

Watching quietly from over the barrier, as the runners leap over the shakey hurdles trying to push themself closer and closer to the finish line. Squash splish splash, all you can hear as the runners urge closer to the end. The mud made it harder and harder to run. Footprints of the runner’s vibrant trainers are left behind on the disgusting uneven mud. The mud is as choppy as a wave crashing on a beach's sandy shore.  Suddenly something catches my eye. A little boy is running after the racers trying to catch up. “YAY” the crowd cheers!!

Further, in the distance, the trees sway as if they were cheering for all the runners. WOOSH. The autumn wind shakes the barriers as if they were vegetables getting pulled out of the ground by a farmer. Inside the doorway, people stand to get shelter from the strong frosty wind. Rattle Rattle the green roof shakes as the wind quickly goes past. The weather is not good for the race. The winds blow and pull hair plus hair on and off their faces consistently. Anxiously the crowd waits, they try to cheer but their voices get drowned out by the tremendous howl of the wind. 

Like lions jumping for their prey, the runners soar over the worn-down hurdles. Thud. The runner’s trainers land on the hard terrain below the mud. This race will be amazing as everyone cheers for the hard-working runners. Like a million bugs climbing up your legs the mud slowly creeps up the legs of the sweaty runners. Silently the crowd watches as the runners agilely jump over the hurdles and down to the gooey disgusting slippery mud. sweat runs down their body as if it was raining heavily over them. Like sticky delicious icing coating, a cupcake mud gets smeared over their neon-colored trainers as they sprint towards the end of the race, again and again, they swiftly run and jump over the shakey dangerous hurdles. The runners try to push themself closer and closer to the finish line. At the end of the day, they all finished and their parents were so proud of them.

Ring Ring!!!!!! My alarm clock suddenly goes off. This is going to be the best day of my life. I finally saved up the right amount of money to go on the tropical cruise ship that I wanted to go on since 10 weeks ago when I heard about it on the radio channel at the office that I work at. It was really early in the morning the sun was rising over the beautiful horizon. I had to wake up early because the cruise left in AAAAHHHH I just noticed the time It was 3:00 and the cruise left at 3:30 it would take 20 minutes to get there so I had ten minutes to get ready I threw everything I thought that I would need into a suitcase and left the room. Then got into my car and drove away.

“WAIT”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I shouted.I need to get on that cruise ship. I managed to get on the ship in time before it had departed from the docks. I finally got checked into my room and went to lie down on my bed. OOOCCHH I sat on the TV remote and suddenly the TV turned on. BREAKING NEWS one person won the jackpot off $50,0000000000000000 in the lotto the numbers are 10547 who will get the jackpot money today. RING A DING DING RING A DING DING. My phone went off. It was my husband who was unable to come on the cruise because we did not have enough money. I picked the phone up and answered. “We did it we actually did it we won the lotto,” he shouted

“What do you mean,” I replied

“They just called out the numbers that were on the lotto ticket that you bought yesterday,” he said. He was right. I reached into my pocket and there was the lotto ticket with the numbers 10547 written clearly on it. Suddenly the cruise ship stopped and we arrived but I did not want to get off. I needed to go back to New Zealand so we could get our $50,0000000000000000 lotto prize money so I hid my suitcase under the bed and cramped myself into the large empty wardrobe. Finally, we got back to NZ. I got off the cruise after everyone so I would not be noticed. WOOSH NOOOOOOOOOO my lotto ticket just flew out of my cleansed fist into the air.

Sprinting after it I jumped in the air but missed it. I kept searching and searching. Then it got darker and darker by the minute then there it was right there dangling off of the stem of the lamp post I went to check the number and it said a little smudged 10547 I found it my lotto ticket was back. Then I saw a taxi. I paid the driver and told him to take me to the place where they were giving the lotto ticket prize as fast as possible. Then he grabbed my hand and snatched the lotto ticket out of my hand and then we crashed. And now I am here with a broken leg it was sad I did not manage to find the lotto ticket out the man who stole it but they believed me because on my phone I had a picture of me and in the background on the wall was the lotto ticket with the numbers 10547 on it so they gave me the jackpot money of $50,0000000000000000.

2 days later… There was someone at the door DING DONG DING DONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was the police they came and knocked on the door we opened it and there they had it they had the lotto ticket. They explained that they had caught the robber by tracking down the gps satellite image that he used to get to the place where they were handing out the money so he went to jail, and they became rich and lived happily ever after until they ran out of money and became broke.

Why we should save animals by Anika and I

This is a passion project me and Anika did together hope you enjoy it.

The Queen's corgi ssw

 The Queen's corgi

DING DONG “that was the doorbell” exclaimed the Queen from her room. The next minute one of the guards came up to her room and laid a package in front of her on the top it said CAREFUL LIVE ANIMAL the Queen thought what could this be then a note caught her eye it said to the Queen from a king form a far land the queen knew it was official because it had a royal crest on it when the Queen opened it she saw a miniature, baby puppy staring up at her it was a little corgi her favorite type of dog. She had the sweetest brown eyes in the world. “Perfect she’s perfect,” the Queen said “What are you going to name her,” one of the royal guards said “Mabey princess,” said the Queen. “That’s a perfect name for this little bundle of joy. 

Then the Queen sent one of her guards to the pet store to get the most expensive pet equipment in the world then she sent another to the royal post office to see where the letter was from so she could send back a thank you letter. While the Queen was waiting for her guards she spent quality time with princess and soon princess became her favorite dog that she owned. After playing with princess the guards arrived and one went upstairs and asked the Queen “where do you want us to put this” the Queen replied “in my royal sweet” “but you never let the dogs in your royal sweet especially not the new dogs” said the guard. “Well, are you going to do as I say I have become very attached to princess and I want her to be with me at all times now hurry along” exclaimed the Queen. It is not fair to the other dogs it’s not FAIR this was all that was going through the guard’s mind as he walked up the stairs into the Queen’s royal sweet he loved princess but he also loved the other dogs the same amount. He thought the Queen was being unfair to the other dogs because if they ever stepped a foot in that room they would get standard kibble and not royal kibble. 

Finally, after two days the queen introduced the other dogs to princess. They were so confused. Where did this dog come from, what was their name, was it a girl or boy, where has it been these past few days?  Why did they just show up so they started to talk and found out that her name was princess she was a girl she was three months old and that she has been in the castle spending quality time with the Queen. All the dogs were jealous of the attention princess was getting. the Queen almost forgot about them. Since princess was the Queen’s favorite whenever she did something naughty like break one of her antique glasses, pots, bowls, and maybe even some very expensive items it was all blamed on the other dogs never princess it was like the dogs were not important to the Queen and they were just there. “We need to make a planed this has gone on for long enough,” the oldest dog said “but how can we do that,” another dog said “we run away but not too far just far enough so the Queen realizes were gone and starts to miss our company so that we can be remembered again then we all go back and be the top dogs” the oldest dog replied. 

Whow Whow it was night time the owls were chirping loudly as the dogs prepared to escape the palace they decided to go in groups of two so if one of them got captured the other could save them but there was an uneven amount of dogs so the youngest was forced to go alone by all the older dogs that did not trust him to save them. In the palace, they always used to call him names and never let him come with them but they pulled him along this time because they were planning to leave him for the pound to catch him. But little did they know that without him it would be the end of them. So they ventured off into the pitch-black of  the night it was silent then suddenly the youngest whose name was pip heard something it was quite faint but he felt scared he hoped it was not a human so he turned the corner and realized he had bumped into some of the other dogs. They forced him away and told him to go a different way. 

  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was all the other dogs said Pip.

Bartering

Bartering is what people used to get supplies before money was created. They used to do things like this “I will give you two logs if you give me five carrots”. But the trades have to be fair and equal otherwise the other person might not agree with your trade.  For example, a liter of milk might not have the same value as one dozen bananas, one pound of cement, or one hour of hard work and labor on a hot or freezing cold day on a farm on a farm. Another example is that someone could ask another farmer to trade a pound of peaches for a pound of bananas or apples that would be an example of fair trade. Some trades might be fair or unfair. The most common things that were traded were livestock like sheep, cows, chickens, and pigs crops like apples and carrots were also very high in the battering system.
