Amazing Mike
Mike was just your average eleven-year-old boy.
There was nothing really very special about him. He had a little six-year-old
brother, Simon. Simon made a real pest of himself, and Mike trid to avoid
him in every way possible (and believe me that was a hard thing to do).
Mike was an arty type of guy. You know the
sort that has mobiles left, right and centre, and pictures hanging in all
four corners of the room, half finished drawings polluting his desk, dartboards
made of photo mosaics and sculptures of dinosaurs everywhere.
He also was a brillaint thinker ( nonsense
wise ), however original.
And this is where the story really begins...
Mike spelled M-I-K-E liked to pronounce his
name "Miky". However much his
parents protested, he stood firm and when his mother called "MIKE,
YOU'RE LATE
FOR SOCCER! HURRY UP AND GET DOWN HERE," Mike was in an uproar!
However much he hated soccer, Mike was forced
to go. So Mike decided to do
something rash...
From his box of paints he produced a bold red
color and a thick paint brush.
Then he slowly painted:
Mike
(MIKY)
in his best handwriting and put a smooth tick on his two-week-old soccer
boots.
He blew quite hard on them to try and dry them
then laced them to his feet and ran downstairs.
It was not until he was in the middle of a
winning game that Mike's mum saw
the disaster. You know how mums are?
"COACH, GET MY BOY OUT OF THE TEAM, WE ARE
LEAVING!!!!!"
Mikey's mum marched him to the family car,
and drove him straight home.
"Go to your room young man. I'm very disapointed
in you." Mikey had no dinner
that night and was given frowns for the rest of the day.
The next morning, Mikey couldn't find his sport
shoes (Simon had stolen them
to be subject to an experiment), so he wore hidden soccer boots to
school
instead.
All the school kids laughed when they saw his
boots, even his friends. But just as Hamish Williams' dad was picking him
up from school, Mr.Williams' cranky mind suddenly got a drop of oil in
it. The rusty gears began to turn. It was really weird cause
next thing you know the shoe company is producing "NIKEYS" and they were
NOT selling cheap!!
Mikey sulked for a week.
After getting over the "NIKEY" problem Mikey
was shopping for shoes with his
mother when they came across the "NIKES." His mum was real real sorry
and
Mikey forgave her, he also forgave Mr. Williams. After all, Mikey was
a generous kind of guy.
