Narrative of the Beach

Hi my name is Joshua, I have a little sister, my mum and my dad. My dad is a nurse. Today we have a bbq at Point England Beach. It is a sunny day so we are all going with our stuff and togs.

We got there so early. I ran and changed. While changing inside the toilet, I heard a big sound of music. The song was not that bad.

Splashing into the water, I heard a voice that sounds like my mum. “Get back here Joshua”, She shouted, while changing my baby’s nappy. “Can you wait Mum? I’ll come when I am bored”.

Running to the rock, something bad happened.I try to stop but  I slipped onto a real hard rock, it felt like gold. I cried and cried and cried. I didn't even stop.“MUMMY MUM!!!”, I cried with my big lump on my head.Mum was right. I should have some rest.


I saw Mum's feet walking towards me. “What happened?”, she said with a really smooth voice. “I don’t know, I just ran then I slipped”, I said nervously. I thought she was going to give me a hiding. But she didn't.

Mum grabbed me and took me to our car. “Let’s go home”, she said while dumping me into the back. I was still wet but she did not care. We left. Just because my dad works at the Auckland hospital, my head was not well. I told him what had happened.

I had to go to the hospital. The next day it was alright for me to go back home to my family. Yay.
