Ice-creams

aged 11, of Rangiora
It was the last day of school for Lisa Baly. Outside the sun was shining. Lisa’s teacher, Mrs Blackfor, was reading a very boring story and the children were throwing paper round and whispering. It was 2.58 p.m. The bell was due to ring any minute. Lisa was thinking about what she was going to do in the summer holidays, when suddenly the bell rang, Lisa promptly picked up her books, then set off for home. When she got home her mother was cooking. “Hello darling,” she said. "Hi Mum,” Lisa replied. “How was school today?” “0.K.” “Well, can you go down the street and get a loaf of bread, milk and um — oh, that’s right, ice-cream and butter.” “Can I watch television?” “Please.” “But ...” “No buts. Hurry along. There’s $5 on top of the fridge.” What a boring way to start the holidays, Lisa thought to herself.
