Girls fly high at camp

Honey Dew

TWO girls took off into the sky yesterday at Camp Somerset, after tying air-filled grain sacks to their canoe.

Their canoe clocked speeds of up to 15km per hour.

The air lifted them up and they hovered, with the paddles shifting their weight to propel them forward.

“I just could not believe my eyes!” said Mr G. Lakesong, who witnessed the event.

The girls travelled quickly, an estimated two kilometres in only five minutes.

The International Transport Association (ITA) is using the new-found knowledge to build more earth-friendly transportation methods.

“Pretty soon, you could be driving around in an earth-friendly flying machine with no fuel, only grain sacks!” said a representative of the ITA.

TWO men have been stuck out at sea for at least two days after their boat allegedly crashed and smashed into pieces.


None of the men have yet been found, but police and lifesavers are still investigating.


The two men, who have wives and children in the Hoody Pointy community, were spending the day fishing when the incident is said to have occurred.


The man who reported the tragedy was one of the victim’s friends.


“I got a text from my mate saying they’d crashed and needed help,” said Peter Griffin.


“However, he couldn’t tell me where they were,” he continued.


“I told the police everything my friend John told me, but the police don’t have much to go on,” he said.


“We believe the men don’t have long left to live,” Sergeant Banks said.


The search for the men is continuing.

Milo and The Magical Stones, Georgia


So Milo went searching for a rock just like his. While he went searching, the other mice saw him with a beautiful, yellow, shining rock and got really jealous of him. So all the mice went and got shovels and started to dig. Meanwhile Milo found a rock exactly the same size as the one he had found.

After that week had passed the wise one found out about Milo’s stone and got really jealous of it because he knew that there was only one stone and the other mice did not know so the other mice kept digging.

Until one day the mice dug so deep that the ground started to crack. The ground was shaking and after a while everyone started to fall into the cracks. Sadly all that was left was Milo and his magical stone.

Milo and The Magical Stones ,Daniel


The mice looked enviously at Milo’s stone thinking, “I want one of those I need one of those!” As all of the mice were thinking up a plan to steal Milo’s stone, he tried to carve up a pattern on a stone. But took up too much time. But, he had an idea that seemed to have popped out of the blue had hit him hard on the face, or it was his greedy little brother Scot. But the idea was brilliant. If he could get some help from his fellow mice than Milo might have a chance to pull it off. He asked the mice and they all agreed to help him.

So half of the mice looked for more stones and the others helped to build it. The plan of the temple took up 20 pieces of paper! When they finally started to construct the temple the mice had an idea, maybe if they could make the temple weaker than they could lure Milo into it without his stone and make it collapse on him so that they could take his stone. So all of the mice resumed building, but Milo thought that something was going on. So he asked Balthazar the wise one if he felt it as well and he did! “Go with caution Milo said Balthazar.


So after about four weeks the temple was complete. That night the mice tried to lure Milo into the temple but it was a failure. But, forgetting about the stability of the temple the tried to rip the stones out of walls. “CRASH, BANG” the temple collapsed and killed all of the jealous mice. But when poor Milo returned to the temple to he find it in pieces.”Noo”yelled Milo. He ran as fast as he could to Balthazar but he was asleep.” I guess that it’s just me and you now Balthazar” said Milo sadly. So Milo went back and finished his stone and gave it back to the island.

Milo's Magical Stones (sad ending) Emmi

Milo didn’t want the other mice to be jealous. The mice were eager to find their own Magical stone. With jealous feelings and envy the mice were off. They were pushing and shoving. One of the mice got scratched near the eye but still went on .When the mice found the place where Milo had found his stone. Milo looked at the wise one and frowned. Milo and the wise one knew there would be a horrible scene.

After Milo ran over to where he had found his stone he tried to stop all the other mice. But they wouldn’t listen. They only cared if they got their own stone. They scattered along the rocky cliff. All the mice looked in every nook and cranny. They had no luck of finding a stone. After midnight they came back with nothing in their hands. Milo was happy but he didn’t show his feelings. His sister Molly was crying for a stone. Milo tried to comfort her but it didn’t work. So Milo went down to the beach and tried to think of what to give the island in return. He decided to go back after half an hour of thinking.

That night the mice made a plan to steal Milo’s stone. The next day they told Milo to get breakfast. So Milo went down to the beach. After he had left the other mice crept in Milo’s cave and grabbed his stone. They started to fight for whom would get the stone but they were too loud and a big boulder came crashing down. The mice were stuck forever. When Milo came back the wise one told Milo everything. Milo said he wouldn’t have to give something back after all. Since that day Milo and the wise one were the only two mice left.

milo and the stones [sad ending]

The mice were jealous and envious they wanted a stone just like Milo’s. They wanted one now. So they asked Milo where he found it. Milo said that he had found it up in the mountains in a cave.

As soon as they heard that they ran straight up pushing and shoving trying to get there first. When they got there and started looking they were disappointed as there appeared that only a few stones were left right at the back of the cave. All the mice jumped up at once scrambling to the back of the cave. They went crashing into each other and pushing so hard that they made a hole in the cave and the stones fell out. Down and down they went, the mice ran after them. Suddenly out of nowhere a wise mouse appeared and grabbed the stones and said “remember what ever you take you must give back”. The mice ignored the mouse and pushed him over and the stones went into the water and sunk to the bottom. One of the mice tried to swim down to get it but had no luck, unfortunately he drowned.

The wise mouse said a lot more bad things were going to happen, and they did. Every day more mice got diseases and died. Milo got sick and he died too. For the few mice that were left the wise one said, “Let this be a lesson to you all. Greed is not a good thing!”

Milo and the magical
Stones [happy ending]

The mice wanted a stone just like Milos. So they asked Milo where he found it. Milo said, “In the mountains there is a cave and that is where I found it.” So the mice went looking for the stones. When the mice found them, the leader had said that whatever you took they must bring something back to replace it. The mice collected the stones and took them back to their caves.

The next morning Milo followed the advice of the leader and went looking for something to replace the stones that they had taken. He went down to the beach looking. All the other mice where spying on Milo. Milo new that the mice were following him but he didn’t care. Then suddenly he spotted millions of rainbow shells. It started to rain, Milo said for everyone to grab a shell and to take it back to the cave where they had found the stones. Then they were to meet back here under the rock. The mice scattered in different directions putting the shells where they found the stones.

When they arrived back Milo said every one had done a great job and now we can party. Milo turned up the music really high and they danced all night long.
