Invisible paint
This morning, I was looking behind our back
shed. There, under an old plastic sheet, was
a pile of paint tins. One of them caught my
eye. It said: INVISIBLE PAINT.
Of course, I had to open it. To my
surprise it looked like water! I stared
at it for a couple of minutes. Then I
slowly dipped my finger in it. My finger
disappeared!
Wow! How exciting! If I painted myself all over, I would
become invisible! I quickly spread paint all over myself.
The first person I saw was my older sister. I poked my tongue out at her. She
didn’t even blink. I danced around her, making the most horrible faces. It
was so much fun.
Next, I went into the kitchen. Mum was taking a batch of chocolate
cupcakes out of the oven. I took two and ate them right in front of her. They
were still warm. Yum!
Then I saw Dad watching the football on television. I picked up the remote
control and switched channels. He looked around but couldn’t see anyone.
He shook his head and rubbed his eyes. I turned it back to the sports
channel. He sat there, looking puzzled.

Barkly, our dog, was harder to trick. I threw
his ball to him and ran away. But he always
seemed to know where I was. He’d come
and drop the ball at my feet each time.
Perhaps his nose helped him!
Suddenly, it began to rain. I looked down
and saw all the invisible paint wash off. I
hoped there would be enough left in the tin
for another time!
