STANDARD
ANIMAL
lA
ADVENTURES
In Africa you find most animals. The lion is
king of the animals. He is hungry now so he
decides to go for a hunt.
Through the jungle he goes. Soon he finds a
herd of zebra. He starts to chase them. He has
now caught a zebra. He grabs it by the neck,
kills it, and carries it to a shady place. Then he
calls his wife and cubs to enjoy the dinner.
Other animals eat grass. Most animals go to
sleep in winter. The birds flyaway to a warm
place. The rabbits store their nuts. And it is
summer once again.

SAILING
One Sunday I went sailing in very rough
weather and I saw ten people drowning. They
were bobbing up and down in the water. I sailed
there quickly and helped them into tbe boat. In
that way I rescued them. One of them asked me
to have supper with him but I could not go as
I had to go to a meeting.

FARMING
CANE
When you grow sugar cane you have to clean
tbe ground. You must burn tbe grass and then
you must stump the ground. When you bave
done all tbese tbings you take a tractor and
plougb. Afterwards you get fertiliser, put it on
the trailer, bitch the trailer to the tractor, and the
men tbrow it on the land. Then you plant your
cane and let it grow.

SCARED
Once I was living on a farm. One day I was
feeding the birds when I heard a noise. It went
bang-ting-bang-ting·bang! I ran to the house. A
piece of timber had fallen on my mother's head.
I ran to the horse-yard, grabbed a horse, threw
on the saddle, jumped on and rode away. The
next farm was a hundred miles away.

THE HAUNTED
HOUSE
One day I went for a walk and after walking
for quite a long way it began to get dark. Just
tben I came to a house, but it was old and
haunted. I was very excited and nervous as I
had never seen a haunted house before, and I
crept inside. I saw many spider-webs and as I
was tired I decided to go to sleep. I was awoken
from my sleep by strange noises. I soon began to
want my mother and started shouting for her, but
no one heard me. Just then someone cackled.
It was a ghost. Everything was black and scarey.
I saw that the windows were broken anc! the
doors bashed in. I went outside and I saw a
lizard come running out of a dark bush. I was
so scared that I just ran and ran and ran and
finally I found my mother who took me home.
SCARED
T. YOSSLOWJTZ.
One night my mother went to fetch some water
from the well, because we had no taps. One
loose sapling from the roof fell on her head. I
quickly picked her up and put her to bed. Then
I mounted my horse and galloped off. I heard a
noise and it was a cheetah.
At last I saw a house far off and finally I
arrived there. I knocked at the door.
A man answered the door. I told him what
had happened. He got rus lorry and fetched my
mother and took her to hospital. She was soon
much better.
A PIRATE
SHIP
J. RONALDSON.
One day a beautiful British ship was sail.ing past
a huge rock and a few pirates were there in their
srup. They sailed out from behind the rock and
made war. But the British were too quick and got
their cannon ready. They l.itthe cannon and fired,
but they missed. The pirates caught a man and
made him walk the plank. They also took rus
scarf from him before he fell into the sea. Then
they went to claim their treasure.
Later there was another enemy attack and it
was again the pirates' victory.
