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

My Graduation Day

It's my Graduation Day today! I'm so excited. I brush my teeth, comb my hair and say "See you there!" My parents will be there and my pet lizard, all my Teachers, the Principal, my friends and my best friend who is also graduating. I hop on my bus - I look a bit weird with my black uniform on, but I don't care. I get to school and I run past my classroom, through the cafeteria and out on the lawn. What! Nobody is here?! Am I too late? Have I missed it? I see the janitor walking by "Excuse me Mr Kerry, where's the Graduation?". "Jack, mate, it's on the other side of the school. You'd better run!" I ran as fast as I could, through the quadrangle and through the court yard. Look! There it is! Slam, I run straight in to a locked glass door! A voice makes an announcement over the loud speaker "Mr Jack, please come and get your Graduation Pass, Mr Jack....No Jack? That's a pity." I have to get there - I climb up the wall onto the roof, then climb through a broken window...I slip...argggghh. Jack wakes up. Is he dead? "Where am I?" "Jack, thank goodness you are awake, we thought you were dead!" "Somebody, quickly call an ambulance". "Don't worry he'll be ok". "Um Jack one more thing, before you go to hospital, here is your Graduation Pass." "Thanks..." cough, cough.

The end

Until next time
