Story filed: I feel sick

Hi people, it's Leo here. On Thursday I went to get my tonsils and adenoids out. They made me breathe in some special gas to make me go to sleep and then they took my tonsils out. I tried to wake up but I was very sleepy. I woke up eventually and I was in very much pain; everywhere I was in pain. And I have to take pain killer so I don't feel the pain.  I couldn't eat my regular stuff, I can only eat yogurt and honey, and some chocolate stuff and custard and jelly and ice cream. I can't eat anything hard. And I have to sleep upright so no fluid will drain down into my head. I can't go swimming and I can't go to school and I can't talk properly.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are looking at old glasses - not just any glasses, special glasses made by Dr Yee. I know this because the glasses case has his name on it and also the name of the place he worked and on the glasses (just where the nose goes) it says 'USA' - and that stands for United States of America and he probably lived in the United States of America in Maui, Hawaii. I got the glasses at an old lady's shop. I bought them because they looked quite interesting. The glasses reminded me of a character in The Wind in the Willows - it was Moley! And they were only $5.00. So, I got all this information (below these words I am writing), from my Mum. My mum got them from some newspaper she found on the internet. "Announcement: Dr. A. Y. Yee, optometrist and manufacturing optician is at the Grand Hotel, Wailuku, in the interests of his Maui clientele. If you wish your eyes examined kindly call at the hotel or phone Wailuku 80 for an appointment. Eyes examined and glasses fitted. From the Semi-Weekly Maui News 'For the Valley Isle first', Tuesday March 28, 1922.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Do you have a safe place at home where you put all your precious goodies? I do. I can't tell you where it is though, it's secret - not even if you beg me, I'm not telling you. You probably have a bank to keep all your money in, or maybe a money box like I do. I have a jar of 1 and 2 cent pieces. I have some American money of $1 bills, some Pounds (that is English money) and one Euro (that's Greek money). This money is left over from trips overseas. There are also some other things of mine I like to keep safe like a glass 'diamond' and a special cat collar I made  - I made it especially for my kitty cat. I also have some very, very, very old coins; the ones from my Uncle Michael. Uncle Michael found them on the street and gave them to me. Aren't I lucky!

Until next time
