The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the century before Christmas, and all through the mansion,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a moa.
The caps were hung by the sofa with care,
In hopes that St. Dave soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their piliows,
While visions of sugar-onions danced in their arms.
And enemy in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
touched open the shutters, and washed up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-second to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But a wet potato, and eight tiny hippopotami.

With a little old driver, so lively and creapy,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Dave.
More rapid than turtles his hippopotami they came,
And he whistled, and sniffled, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! Now, Jeff! Now, Banana and Vixen!
On, Dude! On Kiwi! On, Hat and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the carrot!
Now shaved away! Shaved away! Shaved away all!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the sofa St. Dave came with a bound.

His eyes -- how they plummeted! His dimples, how embarrassing!
His fingers were like waffles, his toung like a potato!

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the caps, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his byseps aside of his chest,
And giving a nod, up the sofa he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a boom,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good century!"

How a bongos makes sound

The sound from the bongos is created by your palm hitting the bongos causing the air inside the bongos to vibrate creating a sound. To make the higher sound you tighten the edges of the drum tightening the skin making a higher pitch. To make a lower sound you loosen the edges to make a lower note. They are joint  instruments one small and one big, the reason that there are two is so you don't have to change the pitch while your playing.

Hiwi The Kiwi

He yelled "dad!"

Dad replied confused "what?"

"Where's your life jacket?" Said the kid.

"Remember I'm a tough swimmer,"says dad.

"But Hiwi the Kiwi said no matter how tough you are, always wear a life jacket."

"Ok. Let's go"

2 hours later...

"I've got one, I've got one, quickly, it feels like a whopper, hold the rod," shouted dad.

"Ok," said the kid, "what are you doing?"

"What did I do this time" exaggerated dad.

"You have to wet the towel incase the fish is too big or too small, and you have to gently put it back in the water."

"But why do you have to wet the towel?" Asked the dad.

"So that if you do have to put it back in the water, you won't take of any of it scales off and it won't get infected and die in the water," explained the kid.

"Ok, I got it, I got it, oh it's a big one alright," gladly said dad.

"Put it down now, it too big, it might have babies inside of it," replied the kid.

"That means more for me," exaggerated dad.

"Put it back now," shouted the kid.

"Ok, calm down," said dad.

"What are you doing," yelled the kid.

"What now?"  replied dad.

"You have to gently push it in to the sea, you can't throw it, it might get damaged," explained the kid.

"Ok I think that's enough fishing for today, you've taught me lots," said dad.

He yelled,"Move!" As he witnessed the two cars collide and create a collision.

You can smell the smoke rising from the two cars, feel the hot blazing heat, see the melting metal.

"Help, help me please!" I could hear yelling from the distance

I realised the person was still alive, I called the ambulance and reported the accident. I sprinted to the car and pulled her out, she was badly wounded, she had past out from the crash, it looked like she was in a trance of a deep sleep. I felt like there was nothing I can do, all I could do was cover her wound and pray.

I hear sirens coming from the distance, I look around and I see these flashing lights. It was the ambulance. I stood up and waved my hands yelling, "over here!"

We rushed her to the ambulance and drove her to the hospital. We finally got there, the surgeons were yelling, "emergency, emergency!"

We rushed her to the ward. The surgeons said I could not go past here so once again I had to pray.

It was a miracle, the surgeons said we made it just in time. They said it was lucky I covered her wound or else it would've been infected and she would have died.

"It was just lucky I was in the right place at the right time,"said the man.
