The Beach Trip
By Sanvi, Grade 4, Brisbane (Australia)
One sunny day, Bob, Oobla, and Jiggle were heading to the beach. They were so enthusiastic that they accidentally took their special motorbike. They started the motorbike, and it took two hours to drive to the beach.
​
In the middle of the drive, Oobla asked, “Hey, Bob! How many more hours?” and Bob replied, “One hour more, Oobla.” Then Bob said, “Hey, Jiggle! Give me some of your jelly.” Jiggle agreed and said, “Yes.” Bob felt thirsty, but his water bottle grew wings and flew away. Bob was cheerless, so Oobla gave him his water bottle. Bob was extremely joyful.
​
When they arrived at the beach, they realised they had forgotten their surfboards. What should they do? Luckily, they found a surfboard shop, but they had no money. They felt bad about everything. Suddenly, Oobla remembered a secret compartment in the motorbike where they always kept emergency money. They opened the compartment and found enough money to buy three surfboards.
​
They surfed joyfully. Soon, they felt like they were going to melt from the heat. With the remaining 15 dollars from the secret compartment, they bought three ice creams and had fun.
