WANTED KOOKABURRA

First the kangaroo then the possum, now what? It was a chaotic scene! Also, there is not much left for the very unpleasant animals to steal. So they had to think of what to do to get their things back, but too late, it is lunch. They could tell because of the sumptuous scent of cooked meat and the loud rumbling of their squelchy stomachs. They knelt down with their wooden knife and started to gnaw on the meat awfully slowly. As they looked around the sandy savannah, they saw a gnarled tree with a small kookaburra on it. When they finished lunch, they put everything away except for one knife, that was left lying there right next to the bright fire. Suddenly the dark kookaburra swooped down and stole the knife. "What next?," shouted Wallambimbi.

WANTED POSSUM

Early in the morning the sun rose and the kookaburra laughed humorously. The sun rise looked just extraordinary! Finally the aboriginals in the tribe called Wallaby woke up and Wallambimby told everyone "the didgeridoo is missing!" One of them asked, "who took it?"and Wallambimby said "it was probably the enormous kangaroo that was watching our performance. Who agrees?" Many of them shouted, "me, me, me!" Then the chief food collector went to get some assorted berries and honey for breakfast. When he got back they started to eat. Wallambimby got his very decorated crown on, while a possum was watching silently. Suddenly the possum jumped out, stole the crown and ran off.

My Holiday Diary

7th January 2010

Today I went to Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney. I went with my mum, dad and sister. First we all went on a walk to the camp site and then we had a snack while the zoo keepers showed some reptiles. I stroked a corn snake and a python.

After we had dinner we went on the night zoo walk. We saw lots of animals and my favourite was the lions. When we got to their cage they started to roar alot.

When we got back to the camp site we had ice cream and then went to our tents to sleep.

I slept perfectly that night.

8th January 2010

We woke up early and went on the morning zoo walk. We fed some giraffes and touched their long, slimy, blue tongues. We walked over to drop off our luggage and the zoo keepers showed us an echidna, a koala and a possum. We got dropped off at the gorilla place and sent a letter to our grandfather.

After swimming with our friends we went to our hotel, packed our bags and went to the Botanical Gardens to see a play. We had to wear a sticker and sat on the grass and watched the Wind in the Willows. The cockatoos kept flying past and making lots of noise. There was a toad, a mole, a weasel, a rabbit, a police chief and two beavers. It was a good play.

9th January 2010

Today we walked to the Circus from our hotel. The circus was in a huge tent in a park. The circus had lots of 'don't do this at home kids' stuff like backflips and climbing up huge poles and beds of nails and flying through the air. It was very funny. My favourite part was when the girl who introduced the play got married and got lots of presents and she asked me if i sent her a toaster. We walked back to our hotel and finished packing our bags.

WANTED KANGAROO

One night the Aboriginies were sitting by the fire under a particularly bright sky watching flames burst up beautifully. Chief Wallambimbi was playing the didgeridoo successfully while the whole tribe danced. Finally the tune finished with a big boom, everyone gradually stopped dancing and Chief Wallambimbi put the didgeridoo down. A kangaroo stood quietly behind a tree watching the aboriginies and waiting for the perfect moment. Chief Wallambimbi announced that it was time to go to bed.

When everyone woke up they noticed the didgeridoo had left. They thought it was probably the kangaroo!

Snowy day

Oh! I finally arrived to my bus stop and successfully made it through the heavy traffic. The ground was beautifully covered with white powdery thick snow, and I can feel the cold wind blowing on my face. I slowly walked to my home as well as I gradually pulled my bag on the ground. Snowflakes started to drop again and some particularly landed on the tip of my nose. Besides , when I looked up the sky it was getting dark, so I thought it would probably dump snow again. I suddenly got home and quickly opened the door and quietly walk in and run to give my mum a hug.
