A long time ago in Madagascar there was a big lion, it was hungry.When the lion was walking he saw a cave he thought he could stay here for the night,but when the lion went inside there was a blood thirsty bear came out of his cave,the lion was really scared,his fur nearly came out,but he ran away.

In the morning the lion was sooo hungry his stomach was aching but then suddenly there was a zebra,the lion was happy that he skipped like a happy lion.then the lion hid behind a big rock,the lion whispered and said this is my chance,the lion said to himself then suddenly he raced but the zebra saw him and kicked him into a gluey and hairy bush.then when the lion came out of the bush the lion had a mane,and that's how the the lion got his mane!

On wednesday I went game fishing with Uncle Ivan and my brother in whitianga,I was soooo excited to go on the bout.When we got to the spot I was the first one to put my fishing rod down that's how excited I was.1 HOUR LATER!, I was waiting for a nibble on my fishing rod when I was eating lunch.But suddenly a huge bite,bite my bait I was so nervous  trying to get it out of the water,10 mins later I finally got it to the top of the water but when I looked at the side of the boat IT WAS SHARK!!!.I couldn't believe my eyes.I was really sad because it didn't count in the fishing competition.When we got to our beach house Uncle Ivan heard that it was prizegiving and we had to wear a bracelet.But when we got there we didn't get any prizes,maybe I could try next year.That was my holiday.
