A Shortcut

The cows were a surprise to Amy.  They weren’t usually in the field that
was sometimes used as a shortcut to get to the beach path.
 She was only about halfway across when she had the feeling
that someone was behind her.
Turning around she had seen six large dribbling cows coming towards her.  T
hey must have come from under the trees at the far corner of the field.
They got closer with every step. Their heavy breathing and wet eyes frightened her.

She stopped, frozen to the spot.  The cows stopped too. Silent and still, they seemed to study Amy.  
Then slowly they moved forward. Their big feet made only a soft sound on the grass.  She looked around.
There was nobody in sight. Her heart was beating fast and her mouth felt dry.  

She took a step backwards.  The cows didn’t move. Slowly she backed up a few more steps.
 The cows moved forward. They were now just an arm’s length away.
 Trembling Amy backed up step by step, to the fence.

She turned and scrambled over as fast as she could.  The cows watched as she ran down the path. Then they lost interest, and they turned and wandered away from the fence. a.  Why didn’t Amy know the cows were in the field?

Mum’s Miracle

What is a miracle?  
A miracle is when something happens that you would never have thought could
happen in a million years.

 There seems to be no explanation for it either.

We lived in the country when I was growing up.
 My brother wandered off late one afternoon and got lost in the hills behind our place.
 We were desperate to find him.
The family and the neighbours went out, looking and calling his name.  
It was my mother that found him. She just walked around a tree and there he was,
looking at a huge wild boar that was coming straight at him

She can’t remember flying at the boar and kicking it under the jaw.  
She knows it stopped in its tracks.
She remembers tucking Jared under her arm and running back to safety with him.
 Those who were close behind, saw the boar.
They said it was one of the biggest they’d ever seen and they looked at my mother with great respect after that day.  
She could never say how she did what she did or even how she thought of it.
When one of the neighbours caught the boar later in the year, s
he took one look at it and fainted clean away.Some people say that a butterfly coming out of a cocoon is a miracle, but I think that if you can explain it, or if it happens a lot, then it’s not.

Tunnel Vision

Lee’s eyes widened and he grinned when he saw what was ahead.  Kerry bit on her bottom lip and frowned slightly.

Even though they could see the end of the tunnel, it looked very small, a long way off and it was very dark in the middle.  

Water dripped down the walls at the entrance and there were puddles inside the tunnel.

Kerry looked at the light sandals on her feet.  

She was sorry now that she’d argued when she was told to wear boots.  

Lee, meanwhile, had control of the torch and was shining the beam on the dripping walls.

Although it was summer it was quite cold in the tunnel.  She rubbed her bare arms to keep warm.

“This used to be a train tunnel,” said Robert, as they went deeper into it.  “They dug up the rails and now it’s part of a walkway.”

Kerry was trying to avoid the pools of water that she knew were there, but couldn’t see.

 As they walked, Robert told them the story of the railway line that used to go over the hills  and how there were many short tunnels. He told of how it was a long, slow and difficult journey.  These days there is just one long tunnel under the hills and you are through to the other side in just seven minutes.

It wasn’t til they reached the end that Kerry realised that the only way back to the car was through the tunnel again.

a.  How was Kerry feeling when they were at the tunnel entrance?   She felt sorry  Why did you say that? Because she is going to ruined you light sandals.

b.  Why was Kerry sorry that she’d argued?

She argued about to wear boots .

c.  Why couldn’t Kerry see the pools of water?

Because lee that has the torch.

d.  Why had the rails been dug up?

Because robert  want to tell the story about the rail.  

Reaction question: I have no reaction.

Do you think Kerry should have been better prepared for the walk through the tunnel? Yes   Why do you say that? Because there is going to be there  lots of walking to water pond and digging .
