Rangataua School youngsters write

This week the pupils of Rangataua School write for the Bulletin. Moby Duck Once upon a time there was a duck called Moby. He was a robot. He had nuts and bolts for ears and metal webbed feet. He was hatched from an egg by a mad scientist. He had an evil mind by the way. It was a mechanical mind. He was also a thief. Super Crook was his name. Moby Duck was his nick name. One day somebody saw him on the back of a whale. The whale 's name was Moby Dick. The villagers had made friends with this whale. When Moby Duck was on the whale's back the whale swerved. The duck lost its grip and fell off. He plummetted down into the water deeper and deeper down until he was right on the bottom. The duck started to rust up. That day a fisherman was fishing. The duck had just enough power to open his mouth and get the hook to pull his string. So the man could pull him up. But the duck pulled too hard and he pulled the rod out of the fisherman's hands. The rod fell down and down. It hit the duck on the head and knocked him under the sand. But the pressure pushed him up in the air, pushed like a bullet. He shot up out of the water, landed on the cobble

stones, and broke into a hundred bits. On the road was a little head, it said, "Help me,"but nobody heard it. So it just died and after a few days it just rusted up and fell into the cracks between the cob-

ble stones.

Age 9 Pighunting One day when I went pig hunting with my dad we saw a big boar and we took all of our dogs. Their names are Bear and Brindle and Lucky. Bear caught some suckers but he does not hurt them. I saw a big sow run past me and Bear got it and when we got home dad made some ham. It was very nice. The pig we caught had little tusks and dad said he will give them to me. He said to me he will make some ear-rings. At home I have got some tusk ear-rings. They are very

little.

Age 9 Alexander and the Pirates Once upon a time there lived a boy. He lived with his mother and father in a little house. Near the house was a forest. The boy's name was Alexander. Alexander was ten. His father worked in a shop. His mother was very cruel. His mother would wait until his father would go to work. After he was gone she

would beat Alexander until he couldn't stand. Every morning it was the same. So one morning he got up earlier than his mother and father. He quickly got his clothes. He got his father's tent too and of course he took food. He ran through the forest and at the end of the day Alexander had got to the middle of the forest. At the

end of the forest there was a sea. He woke up in the morning and at the end of the day he got to the end of, the forest. Alexander put up the tent again. He camped there for one night. In the morning Alexander heard a noise. It was a pirate ship. Alexander saw the ship, he saw it come to the beach. Alexander had always wanted to be a pirate. He had a lot of pictures at home about pirates. He asked the captain if he could be a pirate. The captin said "Welcome aboard the pirate ship." This is what Alexander said, "I have many friends up on the ship." Alexander could be a captain right now. Alexander first was a cook. Alexander didn't know how to cook but the captain showed him how to cook. Alexander loved to cook. Alexander gets a lot of gold from the captain for his

cooking.
