Possum

On one overcast day in the July  holidays me and my dad drove over to Jack's to pick him up because his mum needed to go to work. When we got back to my house Jack said we should go to the creek. So I put my gumboots on and we walked through the the school to the creek.


When we arrived at the creek we jumped down the tall  concrete walls. The creek was surprisingly clear so we walked under the road bridge to the other side of the bridge where some big rocks where(were) and  some eels might be hiding.  But instead of eels we found some guts hanging out of something that looked like a dead animal.


next I walked down under the bridge to a more shallow part of the creek. After that I waded  up the creek to the dead animal, Jack passed me a stick and I turned the  animal over with the stick. It looked at me with its eye hanging out of its socket  and guts hanging out of stomach. It was a POSSUM.  


Me and Jack walked down the creek to grab a stick. There were not  much good strong sticks and the only way to get the possum out the creek was to shove a stick under a narrow piece of skin and fur.
Me and Jack found a a good stick that looked strong enough to lift the possum. So I stepped back into the creek managed to get the possum up onto the narrow concrete bank.


I started kicking the possum up the concrete until I reached the grassy part of the bank and we covered the possum with leaves.

The next day me Jack and Campbell returned to the creek to check the possum out. When we got there we scraped the leaves off the possum with a stick. Not long after that two teenager showed up on their BMX bikes and asked us where we live and we  and we said Riversley Road.  We ran home hoping that they didn't do anything to the possum.




I have been working on my sentient s starters and not using the same boring word called then.

I have also been working on explaining things better.

I have been working on managing my distractions. When I manage my distractions I get more learning done.
