THE CREATURE 

by Martin

The boy was not scared.

He hoped he would be spared.

Because there was no one to help him.

The creature was a bit dim.

The creature gave him a present.

It was a pet pheasant.

The boy felt relieved.

And called his new pet Eve

To the Rescue in Rush!

By Martin

28.1.13

Martin and Wictoria lived in Rush with their dad who worked as a coastguard. One summer’s day the children were helping their dad out and keeping an eye on what was going on out at sea. Martin was looking through his binoculars when suddenly he shouted, “Dad-I think a climber’s in trouble on the cliffs! I can see someone on a ledge halfway down. He’s waving his arms and shouting. He looks like he is struggling to stand up.” Dad took one look and said “this looks serious” and grabbed his phone from his pocket.

He phoned for some special coast guards. They came as fast as they could. It was a bit harder than they thought because his grip was loose. It took 3 minutes for the special coastguards to get ready, then…..they went down. They told the man not to move.

They took the rope with them to tie it over the man’s back. It took them 6 minutes to rescue the man. The man said that his name was Tom, and that he was there to watch the sea because he wanted to go fishing next day but then he slipped.

The special guards said that in a future when he going to watch the sea he must take better care.
