MISSING FOOTY
by Jackson Whitaker, Age 10
One David MUNDY morning Jackson was on a Lewis JETTA which fell through the Robbie GREY clouds and crashed onto an island. All his Hugh McLUGGAGE went everywhere. He didn’t know what to do. He needed to build a raft out of wood and tie it together using Jack VINEYs and Sam REIDs. “What wood should I use?” he thought. Shall I use EASTERN WOOD, HIPWOOD, MASON WOOD, GREENWOOD or the magical TIPPENWOODI? In the end he found a man called Joel that happened to SELWOOD.
Luckily Joel spoke Tim ENGLISH. Joel said “Elliot YEO little bro, Jeremy HOWE to you do? Jackson said “fine thanks, I need to build raft to get off this island. Joel replied, “OK, take this wood and Taylor WALKer along this Christian PeTRACca, through that Patty DangerFIELD. You will then see a Bradley HILL with a Luke DalHAUS on it surrounded by a Marlion PICKETT fence. Knock on the Majak DAW and inside you will find a raft builder.
On his journey he passed a Lachie HUNTER, a Darcy GARDINER, a Liam BAKER and a Zac FISHERman. Jackson was hungry and these men provided him with some Darcy TUCKER. They gave him some Rory LOBBster with Powell PEPPER, a Ben BROWNIE, some delicious PendlBERRIES, some Toby GREENE beans and even a bag of Jack CRISPS. He washed it down with a Conner GLASS of Ollie WINEs. Jackson was full and could David SWALLOW no Darcy MOORE.
Jackson continued his journey passing a couple of Jarrod LYONS, a Nakia COCKATOO and even a Robbie FOX.
He finally found the raft builders house. At the front door Jackson was greeted by a Chad WinGARD. The guard was covered in Jack STEELE and held a Dylan SHEILd in one hand and a Jack GUNston in the other. The guard pulled a Jake LEVER and the door opened.
The raft builder looked to be a Ben KING. The King was dripping in Todd GOLDstien, he was definitely Daniel RICH. Jackson felt he should Lachie NEALE before the King.
Ben LONG story Jayden SHORT, the King built Jackson an amazing raft. Jackson was very Dion ImPRESTIA. It was time to go. Jackson put on his Luke PARKER, packed up his Jarryn GEARy and gave the King a Nat “high” FYFE. Just like that he was going, going….Max GAWN.
Jacksons Mum was so happy to have her Jack DARLING home safe.
