- 1. Mr Monkey’s Best Ball A 5 Photo Story By Room 12 2012
- 2. One sunny day during lunch at The Adventure School for Odd Animals, Patch the purple kangaroo and his best mate G-G the red and green gecko were playing soccer with Mr Monkey’s best ball. G-G and Patch had been at school for 5 years and they had been best of mates since they started school together in Mr Funky-Fist’s class. They loved playing in the playground because it was brand new. The playground had to be rebuilt after a meteorite hit it just before the end of their fourth year at school. It now had a huge as twirly slide, a wild and wacky ladder for kids to climb, a purple upside down swing, a spinning dragon seat and a Tree house with its own waterfall. The rest of the playground was covered in dark, shiny, soft, new grass that smelt like spring.
- 3. G-G and Patch had been playing soccer with each other for about 20 minutes. They were having heaps of fun kicking Mr Monkey’s new ball to each other when Patch asked G-G if he wanted to have a high kicks competition. G-G thought that this was a super-ific idea. G-G took the first kick and sent the ball sailing high through the air. Next it was Patch’s turn. He kicked the ball with all of his might and the two odd animals watched it go up and up and up... then... down and down and down until... BANG! CRASH! BASH! Mr Monkey’s best ball had landed on top of the Library. Patch and G-G needed to get it down quick. But how?
- 4. Patch had an idea. He would wait near the Library and G-G would go and get their friend Spot who had brought a ladder to school for Show and Tell. Five seconds later G-G came racing around the corner with Spot and his handy ladder. Spot quickly put his ladder against the library and started to climb up to get the ball. He had to hurry and get the ball before the school bell went for the end of lunch. G-G and Patch didn’t want to make Mr Monkey upset OR cranky. Spot was almost to the top of the ladder when... BRRRING! The bell went for the end of lunch.
- 5. The bell gave Spot such a fright that he started to wobble left, then wobble right, then he tumbled to the ground and his trusty ladder followed after him and landed right on top. Spot let out a “Yelp!” Patch and his worried friend G-G panicked and called for “HELP!” Patch and G-G were really worried about Spot because he was making all kinds of yelping noises. G-G Told Patch to go and get Mr Monkey from the Staffroom. Patch ran like thunder and found Mr Monkey and told him about Spot being trapped.
- 6. Not much later Mr Monkey quickly followed Patch to where Spot was trapped and hurt. The first thing Mr Monkey did was lift the ladder off Spot and check if he was alright. Spot said was pretty good but had a really sore arm. Mr Monkey took a bandage from his first aid kit and fixed Spot’s arm. Mr Monkey asked Patch and G-G why spot had been up the ladder. They said he was trying to get the ball down so Mr Monkey didn’t get upset about it being lost on the Library roof. Mr Monkey reached up and searched for the ball with his hand. Finally he found it and picked it up and brought it down to the two worried boys. Mr Monkey and all of the boys were very glad no one was badly hurt. The boys promised that next time they would play in a better spot and ask a grown up to help them get the ball down next time.
