From Geek to Hero!

 

Once upon a time there was a boy called Bob in Waterford.

Bob was great at everything although he was only 11 years old.  However, everyone thought he was a geek. He wore big circular glasses and striped clothes.

Bob was an only child. He never knew what it’s like to be in a family.

 

Bob loved competitions but he never seemed to win any. Getting very frustrated Bob declared “this is my last competition “. Luckily he won! The prize was a field trip which included a 2 night stay in 5 star hotel for Bob and his class.

 

After a 6 hour train trip the boys and girls arrived at the hotel. They were amazed at the hotel.  It was enormous! There was a swimming pool, games arcade,3D HD television in every room and a party just for them. Following a fabulous meal in the restaurant they went to bed ready for the amusement park the next day.

 

The following morning Bob’s class arrived at the amusement park before it opened. The minute the gates opened they dashed in and headed for their favourite ride. One of Bob’s favourite rides was the helicopter ride. Bob was embarrassed to discover that his partner was a girl. What they did not know was that the helicopter had been hijacked by wanted criminals. Bob remembered that during the train ride his friend told him that two wanted criminals had escaped jail! 

 

Quick-thinking Bob grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the helicopter with the girl. After landing safely Bob rang the Gardaí. He was the hero at the end of the day.
