Sebby, Stee, The Garbos and Me
Jane Godwin
Puffin Books, 1998
Christmas Day is a
shocker.
It starts out with Jim making me wear my clothes to bed so we can sneak
out and steal the beer that is left out for the garbos, and it all goes
wrong when my duck Sebby starts to quack loud enough to wake the dead!

Why
does Jim think it would be a fun thing to steal all the beer left for the
garbos for Christmas?
| We think Jim thinks it
would be a fun thing to steal all the beer left out = for the garbos
so they could have beer when they are older at parties. St Hildas, WA |
| Jim thinks that it would be a fun thing to steal all the beer because he wanted to see whether the garbos would really throw people's rubbish all over the nature strip and he wanted to save the beer until he was old enough to have a party where people drink beer. Chisholm Chocolate Rappers, ACT |
| They were going to use it
for the next party. Area 11 Rostrata |
| We think Jim thinks it
would be fun because he wanted to see if what Danny had told him was
true. He wants to find out in the garbage will be tipped onto the
nature strip if there isn't any beer left out for the garbo's. Also,
Jim wanted to steal the beer so that they could use the beer for a
party. St. Schol's Blue Rappers |
Why
did the boys begin to run when the garbo truck turned the corner?
| We think they began to
run because they didn't wan't the garbos to know = they stole the
beer. St Hildas, WA |
The garbos spotted them stealing the beer. We think they may have scared of getting caught. St. Schol's Blue Rappers |
| The boys began to run
when the garbo truck turned the corner because they had stolen the
garbo's beer and they were terrified that if they were caught the
garbo's would "kill them". Area 11 Rostrata |
| We think that the boys
began to run when the truck turned the corner because they didn't
want anyone to see them with the beer in their arms. Chisholm Chocolate Rappers |
Why did Stee put Sebby in the bin?
| Danny took Sebby out of Mike's hands
and put him in the bin and closed the lid so the garbos wouldn't
track them and they did not want to wake the street. St. Schol's Blue Rappers |
| We think Jim put Sebby in the bin
because it was impossible to run with Sebby quacking and struggling
under their arms. Danny was really upset when Jim put him in the
bin. St Hildas Rappers |
| Stee put Sebby in the bin so that it
would make it easier for Mike to run faster from the garbos and they
wouldn't get caught. They couldn't hide with a quacking duck. Chisholm Chocolate Rappers |
Why did Mikey refuse to help Danny and
Jim put the beer in Danny's shed?
| We think Mikey was worried
that the Garbos were waiting in the shed to catch them because they stole the beer St Hildas, WA |
Sebby helped Mikey find the duck. Mikey didn't want people to tell him what to do so he didn't get the beer from the shed. St. Schol's Blue Rappers |
| Mickey thought of Stee and
how she doesn't do anything when she doesn't want to. He didn't want
to because Jim and Danny put Sebby in the bin and Mickey doesn't
want to lose him again. He is happy to have Sebby back. Chisholm Chocolate Rappers. |
