CAMERON’S
TOAD
We were getting ready to go out for tea at Mc Donald’s. Everyone
was ready to go except Cameron, my six-year-old brother who couldn’t
find his shoes. I thought this was odd because Cameron is usually the
first one ready.
“You’ll
have to wear your sandshoes. Cameron, look for them in the yard,”
suggested mum.
Cameron
found his sandshoes in the sandpit. It had been raining so his shoes
were a bit wet. He put them on anyway as everyone was already sitting in
the car waiting.
In
the car Cameron complained that their was something in his shoe and
asked to take it off.
“No,
wait until we get there,” said dad.
When
we got to McDonald’s Mum took Celina straight inside to the toilet.
Cameron,
Dad and I walked up the path.
Dad
opened the door, all of a sudden Cameron took his shoe off in the
doorway.
A
BIG FAT TOAD JUMPED OUT OF HIS SHOE ………and hopped through
the open door into McDonald’s. Some people were screaming, one person
dropped their tray of food and someone else tripped over their thongs
trying to get away.
Dad
chased the toad and kicked it out the door.
Mum
and Celina came back from the toilet just as the cleaner finished
mopping up the mess, they didn’t have a clue what had happened so we
decided not to tell them. We sat down and ate our meal.
Afterwards
as we were walking across the car park we saw a toad that had been run
over. Cameron, Dad and I started laughing. Mum asked us what we were
laughing about so then we had to tell her. She started laughing, “I
can’t believe I missed all that” she said.
