The big jump

I see a wharf with a boat,a rope and some fishing nets. A girl wearing a life jacket, sitting on a diving board with her feet dangling in the water and she is thinking maybe she is nervous because it’s a dare by her friends or it’s her desire to experience how it is to be in the water. who knows.She’ll soon find out.

Closing her  nose helps her not to suffocate in the water. I am thinking about how brave she is going to  be in the water and jump like. Is she scared to take the plunge in the water or is she going to walk away and feel sad. I wonder what is going to happen to her. I will be very happy if she jumps because everyone needs new experiences.

One amazing treasure

On a Sunday I am on the footpath riding my blue bicycle then I see a  man walking on the same footpath that I am riding my bicycle on. I come to a complete stop like a rhino crashing into a tree.

I get off my blue bicycle and go to the man and say “sorry for going the wrong way”  the man replies “it’s all right everyone makes mistakes”. I notice the man is very happy because of his lovely smile then I ask him “why are you so happy” He says “I just went fishing and caught  kelp vines and  on the beach he grabbed a seashell and made a necklace” and then he also says “I go to a fishing tournament every year in the beach in Cape Reinga”. I thought it must have taken a lot of time. He said he was on his way home and he wanted to give me that necklace  because he knows that I love the sea. So  he got me that present I said “thank you” and gave him a small present I gave him a… turn on my bicycle and let him have one of my lollies that I carry in my pocket he liked my presents and started to walk back to his house. I thought an other thing to say to say “good things happen good things return”. He thanks me and I thank him back.
