Manuia lou Malaga   Peter Fatialofa. I know that you will have an awesome time in heaven and your family and all your fans will be very sad to lose you . THANKS FOR BEING AN  AWESOME RUGBY PLAYER AND MAKING SAMOAN PEOPLE BEING PROUD OF THEIR CULTURE JUST LIKE I AM !

My Test

The sun has risen up into the sky and the birds are singing gracefully in the trees. It is a lovely morning for a little boy name James. He is only 7 years old and loves to help his father Murray who is a farmer. He could only help his father in the weekends and Holidays  because he had to go school. Sadly his mother would take him to school but his mother had died yesterday because of Cancer. So he strolled along the path reminding himself of him and his mother walking together. While walking farmer Murray was busily harvesting his crops until he saw a car. It was his brother Banter.

They loved chatting together for hours and hours. Today they would've made a world record by chatting from 9:00 to 3:00 but the world record time was 9:00 to 3:01 they could at least talk for another 2 minutes. So now James is home and saw nobody at the farm because his uncle Banter has parked his car at the back where James wasn't allowed to go. So then he heard a shh. It was coming from the kitchen.

It was the voice of Uncle Banter but he didn't know so then uncle Banter said “ I would love chicken eggs for dinner if I stole  7  eggs” But James took it the wrong way he thought there was a stranger trying to make friends with his father so he could steal eggs but it was only uncle Banter reading what happened on the newspaper. Uh oh. If only James went inside the kitchen he would have seen what really happened.

James was now a problem to his father by annoying him for the rest of the day by saying “Dad I heard someone say that they are going to steal seven eggs from our farm” over and over again. So his father said “OK James go to bed and I will solve it out” But he only said that to get rid of James and he did. So now he could do his job without annoying noises.

James knew his father wouldn't do anything about it so he decided he would do it and solve the mystery. He felt like a crime solver and a superhero who is going to save the day. So he got his rest and woke up in the morning and it turned out to be having a few showers. He saw a car come and it was his uncle Banter he would visit on Fridays and the weekends. He was glad to see his uncle.

So mostly he was a fan of reading newspapers and when he read it he felt like he heard the same voice from yesterday so he asked his uncle and said “uncle were you here yesterday ?” Uncle replied “Yes I was I was in the kitchen reading the newspaper someone had stolen 7 eggs for the supermarket. “O it was you how said  “I would love chicken eggs for dinner if I stole  7  eggs”. Sorry I thougt you were a stranger trying to make friends with my father so you could steal 7 eggs. By the time he said sorry his father came back with a box of vanilla Ice cream and James explained everything that happened and enjoyed the Ice cream.     

My Edited Version of A Picture of a PLane turns into a story

Early in the morning the Lorrins family are taking the suitcases in the boot. They are heading for the airport. They are leaving to Canada to visit some family members the haven’t seen for almost 3 years. The plane leaves at 6:00 o clock so they better hurry. Mrs Lorrins is still trying to wake up Samantha. She is 8 years old and always loves to sleep in. After 3 minutes she has awaken by a rummm. I asked mum what was that noise she replied back “sweetheart it’s only dad turning on the car” I replied back by saying why ? mum said “Remember we are leaving to Canada to visit Auntie and Uncle.

So then Samantha brushed her teeth,brushed her hair and put on the clothes that her mum left on the bed and ran straight into the back seat of the car. Dad was surprised to see her full with energy. Last time when they were heading for England she was dragging herself to the car and even slept in there and they had to wake her up at the carpark of the airport. That took 7 minutes to do that. So they drove to the airport and they played Samantha’s favorite song. It is you can count on me by Bruno Mars. Arriving at the airport they got there suitcases and ran to the check in point and checked in.

When finishing doing that they ran to the place where you show your passport and other details and they went. They asked the assistant which plane is heading to Canada the lady said the plane on the north side. But by mistaken she meant the east side but she was too late. They already have taken their first step into the plane . That plane was heading for Hawaii.

So the engine of the plane began and they were flying now they have reached up way into the sky. The slept for 7-9 hours and Karen who is Mrs Lorrins looks outside the window and see’s a beach. She asked the pilot where are they and he said “Mamm this plane goes to Hawaii and we are in Hawaii. “Oh no she says the assistant said this plane goes to Canada we are suppose to be in Canada” The Pilot said “I'm very sorry but I got to fill this plane with gas and that gas is suppose to be me going back to Australia. The next flight to Australia will be not after 5 days so you will have to stay here” Ok replied Karen.

She awoke her husband and told him all about what happened but Samantha was actually happy. She would rather be in a hot sunny place then be in the second version of Antarctica. So they went to a motel called the Coconut Motel. Samantha laughed when she heard the name of the motel. There room was 197. Samantha’s parent’s start to settled in but Samantha took her swimming togs and ran to the beach. It was a good thing that the view outside there window was the area Samantha was swimming in.

She told her Parents to come and have a swim and they did. So they made plans of what they would do. For the rest of the 4 days it felt like they were in heaven. The loved on the last day they got a free massage and Samantha got Ice cream. The actually enjoy Hawaii and after 5 days in Hawaii Mr Lorrins said “It wasn't a bad holiday after all” and soon they headed back to Australia to catch the next flight to Canada witch Samantha calls 2 version of Antarctica.
