CATCHING THE BUTTERFLIES

In the holidays I got a new pink net at Te Puke. Then we went home.
The next day I woke up.
“Poppa,” I said, “Can I please get the net out of the boot?”
Poppa said yes and I ran to the car. I got in the car and I pushed the button and I ran to the end of the car and opened up the boot door and took the net out of the boot.
And I caught 6 butterflies and I put the butterflies in a jar.
I watched the butterflies fly and fly and I laughed.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
I like catching white butterflies because I get to watch them fly. I wish that there are more butterflies because I can use my net more often.

Shopping
Yesterday I went to the supermarket. We got a trolley. You guessed it, it had a broken wheel on it and it was hard to steer.
Guess what? I unpacked the shopping.
I said, “Mum, can I unpack the shopping?”
And I put the cereal in the cupboard.

‘Christian the Lion.’ And he lived at a zoo.
And one day some people came to the zoo and bought Christian.
And he was sad.
