                                                      Rampaging Rickshaw

                                                                                         

[By Josh, Katherine South Primary, NT]

One day in Bangbang town, there was a man called Mark, but everyone called him Mr Maniac. One morning, Mark was driving to the market. He started to go faster. So he took his foot off the peddle, but the rickshaw just went even faster. Then Mark found himself on a steep hill. He tried to stop but he just went faster.

Suddenly he left the hill and came to the markets where there was a race he had heard about when he was at home. Mark zoomed down the second hill and turned the corner. He made four cars crash. Then he came to a tunnel.

Mr Maniac started to go through the tunnel.

BUT CRASH!

The tunnel started to collapse. All of a sudden, he was surrounded by rocks. He tried to ‘rev’ his way out, but then his back tyre popped. So he got out of his car and tried to push the rocks with his hand. It didn’t work.

But whatever he did, the tyre would not blow up again. Then Mr Maniac yelled and the tunnel shook and started collapsing. Mark started running and the tunnel sides collapsed. Mark was trapped in a tomb to die.

But then, something happened. It was the police and emergency services. They came to rescue Mr Maniac from out of the tunnel. They also came to take Mr Maniac to jail because he made four cars crash. He was a very dangerous driver. From every night on, Mr Maniac had terrible dreams about making four cars crash. And in his dreams, he tried to fix them.
