Fishing stories.

We all wrote a fishing story following the Hiwi the Kiwi show in March. here are 2 stories for you to enjoy. They have all been published and put into each Sample folder.

One day I got a fish. By Max Baker

One day I went fishing and I caught a fish. It was a big fish so we tried going home but it wouldn’t fit in the microwave so we bought a fish-tank and so it was my pet. But in a couple of days it died. I was sad and his name was Jefrey then we had to flush him down the toilet.

Fishing in Australia By Zane

Last year I went to Australia and I went fishing. I got a really big fish and

when I mean big I mean BIG .When I pulled it up it was a shark

I was shocked I’ve never caught a shark in my whole life. When my dad

got it off he took a photo with it . I was so proud of that and I stepped on his tail then we put the shark back in the sea.
