Chapter Five

by Georgia Fyfe (Aged 8, Maungawhau school)

The old lady walked off “such a sweet man” she said to herself.

Remy and the gorilla’s kept walking “save the mountain gorilla’s” Giles and Marinda said as they pranced along the street. Gosh I wonder if you know who will ever leave. I am still really worried about Lewis what has he done. I thought about all the bad things that could have happened to him he could have wreaked his dad’s new radio or scratched a c.d oh what is that sound?

I wake up from my day dream. Ka co ka co core Giles is making bird calls (and pretty bad ones too!) buzz buzz! My cell phone goes off in my pocket it is the neighbours “hello it is Mrs Pootyshoes can you please look after tiger me and Mr Pootyshoes are going too play our tuba’s to the little kids at the park”

“yeah like you will get any kids to listen to that horrible thing” I said

“excuse me” Mrs pootyshoes said.

“Nothing I will be on my way.” click I shut my cell phone it locks immediately. I run and I mean run to Mr and Mrs Pootyshoes house but then I remember about Giles and Marinda. I crouch down on my knee’s and say” why me, why me!!” there is only one suggestion I have to take tiger with me to find the gorilla’s.

I know this could be the worst mistake of my life but I have to try. The door opens of Mr and Mrs Pootyshoes house I do a brave wave dance and enter the house. Grrrrrrrrrrr grrrrrrrrr I hear snarling but try to stay calm. I see bright green glowing eyes and a neck. I take my belt from around my jeans this will have to do as a leash.

Whoosh I fling the belt around tiger’s neck and run out the door. Yes I am in luck Giles is walking up the road holding Marinda’s hand, they are close enough for me too grab Giles hand and run which is just what I do but Marinda’s dress rips “ohh I am naked find me some more clothes immediately”

here use this I grab the old lady’s jacket the one that had the photo with Giles she doesn’t mind

“anything for you” she reply’s we run to the park I drop the leash that tiger is on onto Mrs Pootyshoes lap

“sorry I had to drop him back early” I say as I run past. Stop! I yell my mum can see me running along the road holding two gorillas’ hands she must think I have gone crazy but that’s not what I am worried about my room. Mum is going to kill me! Then it went red! A ruby I found the ruby! Now you can go back to la la land or where ever you came from

“not so fast” said Giles “we want your clothes”

“my clothes you have to be kidding me” I said

“well guess what we’re not come on take them off”

“fine !” I shout I take off my clothes everything and I mean everything even my favourite Bart Simpson boxers!

“Good boy Remy” Marinda says. “We shall be off then” and then they vanish.

I shake my head, I am in my sleeping bag “it was all a dream ha it was all a dream la de da it was all I dream” I sing but then I look over where is dad where is mum? Two gorilla’s are lying in mum and dads bed!
