Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to tell you a story. 

Diary entry: Thursday

Dear Diary

Today is Thursday, I am very, very, very, very.........ok maybe I'm exaggerating but I'm very excited. Every Thursday the Tea and Sugar Train comes and once a year it brings Santa and today was that day. When the big metal train stopped, it gave a big screech and guards hopped down. They looked a bit fierce but very important. Finally it was my turn to talk to Santa. I was very nervous. What was I going to say? "Ho, ho, ho and what would you like little girl?" he said. I was speechless but after a few minutes I said "a present please" and he gave me one. While I was carried down off the train, my eyes would not look away from the man in red. The train started to leave the station so I sat down on the ground and opened my present. It was a book, a brand new book. After the train had left my dad said "didn't we forget to get sugar?" Now we have to wait till next Thursday.

The end.

Until next time.
