Greedy seagulls

        Greedy seagulls

 Jake Peters was out in his fishing boat. It was a sunny calm day on a clear blue sea and Jack was going to catch some yellowtail. He was thinking about his lunch and what he was going to have first. Mrs Peters had packed some red apples, a piece of chocolate cake filled with cream and jam, hard boiled egg, strawberry jelly, some delicious honey sandwiches, a crunchy carrot and apple juice for the drink.

    All the food was packed in a gold basket with a purple blanket over the top. The seagulls were circling the basket. The seagull leader said “I will swoop down and lift the blanket and you three will come and get the food” and they did.

   Jack Peters caught a yellowtail. He was reeling it in and didn’t notice the seagulls were stealing his lunch behind him. A noise alerted Jack. He turned around to see what made the noise. When he saw what was happening he stood up and started waving his arms to scare them away. Instead Jack suddenly fell into the water. So the seagulls returned again to steal the rest of food. Jack climbed back into his boat and found that all his food had disappeared. So he rowed back to the beach to return to his home. He was soggy, starving and angry and decided that next time he would take greater care to hide his food from the greedy seagulls.
