1973 September 3rd, 

"Milly come here darling suppers ready."  said mother "Yes mother coming," replied Milly. "When will father be home mother?" asked Milly "Your father should be home any minute now Milly," said mother. Milly sat down and her mother got Milly's supper and placed it in front of her. "Thank you mother," said Milly. "Your welcome, Now tell me what have you been doing in that room of yours you have been in there for hours?" asked mother "Well I-" Milly got stopped as her father walked in. "Hello, darlings sorry I'm a little late, ill just take my coat off and ill be ready to eat supper," said father "Hello dad" "Hello darling" replied Milly and mother. "Now Milly what were you saying?" "Well, I've been painting in my room because I had an old picture frame and I had a blank canvas and I wanted to use the new paints I got for my birthday!" said Milly "What have you painted Milly?" asked father. "I started off not knowing what I was doing but then I looked at the map in the bottle on my dresser and it reminded me of a boat. So I decided to paint a boat," replied Milly. "How far have you gotten with it darling?" asked Mother.....

Fish Boy

Hello my name is Elick, I come from France. my family and I moved away from France when the war began there and we moved to South Africa. When we moved here I had just turned 3 now I am 8 and today for my birthday all I want to do is go out fishing with my dad. I asked him if we could but it was raining so I thought that he would say no. I asked him anyway and his reply was "If you clean the dishes clean your room and put away the clothes then we can okay son." my faced dropped did he forget it was my birthday I said to my father "Dad you know it's my birthday right?" "Of course son I just wanted to see the look on your face and it was priceless" I replied "Dad!" So my father and I went to the river and because we don't have much money we are just gonna catch the fish with our hands. It is so much fun because we can just jump in and have a swim then we can try and get some fish. It was also handy because then we can cook it tonight and have it for tea if we catch one.

The Northern Lights

I woke up and thought about what I was going to do today? Ahh I know what I'm going to do I am going to go for a walk and take my camera so that if I see anything interesting I will be able to take a photo. I will also take me a packed lunch and some water so that I don't get hungry. I set off on my walk as I was walking past the park nobody was there and I was super confused the park is usually filled with people because its the most famous park in the north. After walking past the park I noticed that not many people were walking around the streets and that there was barely anybody driving around. I started to wonder what was happening was there a fire? An earthquake? Where is everybody?
I kept walking around and then I saw a couple of people walking up a hill past all of the shops and everything like that, I was very confused? Since it is very cold in Canada I sat down near a fire I made to warm up but then my phone rang it was my mother and father they asked where are you I thought you would be at the festival, "what festival?" I asked "the northern lights festival" ah then it all clicked nobody was in town because of the northern lights festival "ill be there soon ma and pa," I said and then I set off hoping to get there in time, after all, it finished in 10 minutes. I didn't make it but what I realized that The northern lights were still glowing and that I had brung my camera so I set up my equipment and took a time lapse and i took about 22 photos of all the beautiful scenery.

The Little Bird

One day I decided to go a little swim so I set on on my adventure as I call it because mum never lets me go out by myself because I am only 3 years old. I love to go swimming because it is very fun and relaxing I love how I can glide through the wind and splash my feet along the river or ocean depending on where I am. I absolutely love the sound of the waves crashing and I love seeing everybody swimming it makes me feel really good. It's annoying when they laugh at me because I want their food and they won't give it to me. I find it really scary to go out into the ocean with the sharks because they try to eat me when they are hungry like me. I love me when I can catch a fish or two it makes me very happy. The joy of catching fish is so nice because I can help my family catch fish and also I love to show off all of my family. My favorite beach to go to is Otaki beach, I love it there but we only get to go once a year. My mother, father, little sister, and my older brother have to do a lot for each other because my Father only has one of it got eaten by another fish.

The Magic Man

Oh I remember it like it was yesterday I was only 5 years old and my parents had brought me my first ever magic kit. But because they fought a lot they used to tell me to go into my room. They had always told me to go in there when they were fighting, they thought that I couldn't hear anything but really I heard the most horrible things. I hate when my parents but when they sent me to my room I would open up my magic kit and have some fun i would play with the smoke bombs and disappear (by disappear I mean run into my closet) I would also play with the playing cards. As I got older I got more into magic and my parents had had a divorce by that point and magic helped me through it because it was always there for me to do it toke my mind off of things you know. At 16 I had entered over 56 magic competitions and I had participated in over 28 talent shows I had won about 36 of the 56 competitions I had competed in. Magic helped me through a lot in life especially my parents divorce. I had a few ups and downs but magic was always my favourite thing to do when I was down. So that's my story about Magic!!
