Before he started ihn rides he was given two loaves of bread‘ and then we gave him four apples and he said thank you. Another day we cllmb—ed right up to the top of One Tree Hill and there was a lovely View. On Thurs Clay I went to the museum and I saw ever so many things. Some or the things 1 saw were a mummified cat’s paw. a mummified baby crocodile and a mummy. Then i had dinner in the domain, and on Friday I went into town. Haven't we had beautiful weather for the holidays.~——“Passion l'lnwer." (ii). Auckland. Such wonderful sunshiny days they have been for all your [holiday adventures Passinn Flower.

Tech!" 1 think our shouts should have hncked them up a bit. hilt it seemed that they only spurred the opposing team to greater eil‘orts, because even in the 5 minutes we watched they scored a goal. 0n the way home we sung, and waved to tbe.people we passed on the road. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. i will not be playing for Old Girl: any more because I’ll he going to school. . . > _ _
