Hello!
My name is Toby. I live in the mountain's high up between Brazil
and Peru. They are called
the Andes. I love living there. Every
morning when I wake up, I look out the window of my wooden hut and watch
the flowers fluttering in the breeze and the bees buzzing around them in
the summer. My friends are
all the animals that live here with me.
One morning 1 was awakened by a terrible noise. I jumped out of
bed and ran out and saw two enormous machines coming towards my house. The machines were destroying everything in front of them.
They drove over all the plants and knocked trees down.
They knocked down my house and destroyed the lovely land all
around the mountain. The
drivers saw me and got a shock. They
started chasing me. 1 had never seen one of these machines before. 1
couldn't believe my eyes. They
were like a terrible monster. They
could do a lot of damage in a short time.
What could 1 do to save my mountains? 1 ran off to a cave where 1
could hide and think of a plan. It
was in a dark gloomy cave. I
heard big loud footsteps coming towards me. I thought it was those mean
poachers. I hid behind a big boulder. I saw a gigantic hairy figure
coming out of the darkness. It
was my best friend Joe. He
is a big strong gorilla. I told him the whole story ,nothing but the
truth! He felt sorry for
me. He decided to help me,
on my tremendous mission, to save the jungle of the Andes.
The gorilla and I plodded down the long dirty jungle path.
Then heard the monsters near by.
Joe and I went out to confront those mean men.
The drivers in the bulldozers glared at Joe.
They charged their big bulky bulldozers at him.
Joe jumped out of the way, and into the cockpit of the bulldozer.
He swiped at the driver and knocked him unconscious.
One of the men in the bulldozers rang the San Francisco Zoo.
A truckload of men with tranquiliser guns shot Joe.
As Joe slumbered peacefully, the zookeepers loaded Joe on to the
truck heading for San Francisco zoo. I felt helpless. I had to think of
a plan to save my friend from a life in outrageous captivity. I
had a brainwave. Adder, my
poisonous snake, and myself decided to become stowaways to get to the
San Francisco Zoo. I gathered a shotgun and dynamite that was in the
bulldozer. We didn't waste any time getting to the Zoo.
Joe was sitting in the corner of his cage. I greeted him and told
Jimto be quiet. I flicked
the blue switch and placed the dynamite outside the cage.
The door of the cage blew sky high.
Joe wasted no time in getting out while Adder took care of the
men. Joe and I ran for the
boat. "Addee' I shouted. He ran after the
boat and dived on my shoulder. We
took off straight away and headed for home.
Meanwhile, the men were bulldozing our home.
When we were home, I got to work straight away. I shot the
bulldozer's window out. The
man inside ran off. Then
Adder shot poison in front of them and lastly, Joe acted like an ape,
which really scared them. The
men were never to be seen again. Section 1: Dromina N.S., Charleville, Co. Cork Section 2: Newtownshandrum N.S., Newtownshandrum, Charleville, Co. Cork Section 3: Newmarket Boys' N.S., Newmarket, Mallow, Co. Cork |
