The Bush

With wind blowing through my hair on a Saturday afternoon, I suddenly spot a bush track with gorgeous flowers she had never seen before. Curious to find out what else was in the bush I dropped my bike and walked over to the track and starts riding towards the beginning of the bush. With Josh following close behind they suddenly come to a stop.

Looking at both tracks, we started to get confused. Thinking to myself, “which way??”
Hesitating about the track, Josh started walking down the right one. Without thinking I run up to him and stay close by.Thinking “When are we going to get out of here?” another sudden stop awakes me from my thinking.

Too frightened to see what is was, I slowly forced myself to peek past Josh. With my eyes wide open I see a river too deep for us to walk through. “We are going to make it, we are going to make it” I repeat over and over to myself.

Suddenly a drop of water falls down to my nose. “We have to swim!” yells Josh. Diving into the water I feel a shiver go up my spine but I ignore it. Getting closer to the edge I jump up and run out of the bush and find that it has stopped raining.

Josh suddenly runs out and I can tell he thinks “WHY did you do that!” I am so happy that we are out and safe! Shivering and glad Josh and I walk home.

THE END

Cross Country!

Walking through the mud to the starting point, I could see that the course was not going to be easy. Mr Burt clapped the blocks together and off the 10 year old girls went. "Oh, It's so muddy!" I could hear as I jogged through. 

Reaching the gravel road I saw puddles, and more mud. Jogging along, my friends and I are all not far apart. To get to the first bridge we had to go through heaps of muddy puddles. It wasn't very nice. Then before we knew it we were at the first bridge. That meant we were starting our run in the bush. 

There were heaps and heaps of places we could've slipped. But most people didn't. Near the last bridge I saw my uncle! He worked at Telecom and they were helping us. "Hi Uncle Kimana!" I yelled as I ran past. I was nearly there and man was I puffed. Finally I had finished!!!

I found that run much much better than last year's one. But I was very tired. Overall I think I did really well and I hope I beat my last one!
