Fantail Report

>

The task was to write a report about a creature that lived in NZ before the Europeans came. I wrote my report on a Fantail. In this report I have wrote: An introduction, description, habitat, diet, behavior and some interesting facts! Once you've done that, wallah there is your report on whatever creature you did. I hope you liked my report.

Apple Boy

         

There once was an 8 year boy named Cameron who was forced by his parents to leave their little cottage, more like a one bedroom house with three people living in it! Can you imagine that! Any way before the boy had left his mother said”, You are to you sell all the apples by yourself and by yourself I mean yourself”!

So many hours later the boy looked at the bags of apples and remembered what his mum had said!

After days and nights had passed the boy had 30 more bags left so he had only sold 1 bag! He had made 10 dollars. That was barely enough to buy a single chocolate bar. 

One day a man came and saw Cameron and said,” Hey there lad What are you doing here on the streets” and Samuel replied “ My parents forced me to leave the cottage and go to sell these apples to make lot’s of money and they told me that I was not allowed to even put my foot into the cottage unless if I had sold all of the apples”. The man passing by asked Cameron where he lives? Cameron said “ I don’t know”. The passing by man said “ Well you are no hope so I better get going Cameron, bye bye for now! “W-w-wait” screamed Cameron.!!! I don’t know my letter box number but I think that I know my aunties and uncles letter box number!

As quick as two shakes of a dogs tail the man stopped and asked the boy what it was! The boy replied “ Um..........what was it again..........??? Oh yeah I remember it now!!! It is “ 123 Imaginary street.. 

"What the hang are you saying," said the man!!!! That’s my letter box number. "Oh,oops"! "That means that I don’t know what my aunties and uncles letter box number is"!!!

The thing that happened next is fairly obvious that is that the man walked off and didn't pay attention to what Cameron had to say. 

As the man walked on by until he was out of sight, Cameron sat on the streets and once again thought about what his mother had said to him and he thought about it so much, that as soon as he stopped thinking about what his mum said his mum’s voice got stuck inside his mind. He tried to get it the voice out by singing different songs and different voices but all his words went to waste!

2 months later apple boy had sold all of his apples and he went to the bank and asked a man who was at the service desk “ Do you know where I live? The man asked Cameron what his mother and fathers name was and Cameron replied “ My mother and fathers names are Sarah and Samuel” The man at the service desk said do you know your letter box number? Cameron replied “ Um..........what was it again..........Oh yeah I  remember it now!!!! My letter box number is 345 Apple Street. I will look that up right now said the man.

He typed in the address and it came up with a photo of his cottage. The man turned his computer around and showed apple boy, he said "yes, yes" that is my cottage. The service desk man closed the service desk and took Cameron to his cottage.When they reaches Cameron's cottage, Cameron raced in and gave his parents a great big hug.

The first that his parents asked him was if he was alright and Cameron replied "you bet I am". That’s all because of this man because he gave me lot’s and lot’s of food and then we both sat down to eat!! 

After we had finished I asked the man if he could track down my house. He said "Sure I can". I was so happy that I nearly screamed like a girl. Moments later I settled down and then this helpful man typed my address and then he turned his computer screen around and it had a picture of our cottage and I said “ YES, YES, YES that is my cottage"!

"Woo hew I am going home", everybody turned around and started laughing and I went red in the face with embarrassment!!!!!! After that he printed out the directions and then we were off and I talked all the way about how badly I missed you and when I had stopped blabbering I realized that we had reached my cottage I was so happy and then I thanked him and that was my apple adventure!
