Green is like the rustle when the wind blows through the trees,
Blue is running water and Red a trumpet call,
Pink is the smell of roses sweet, Purple a thunder storm.
Yellow is as warm as sun and White is like a dream.

One day on a farm, the rooster didn’t wake up. How would the family know when to wake up? BOOOOOOM!!!!!!! The rooster woke up and went COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOOOO!
Everyone woke up in a hurry. What?! They pulled on their trousers and rushed outside to see what the noise was all about. Bang-clatter! the exhaust pipe of the car landed right in front of them.
“What caused that?” asked Dad as he scratched his head.
“Where’s Nathan?” asked his sister, Maree.
Cough! cough! “Here I am?” Eighteen year old Nathan zig-zagged across the lawn away from the smoking car. “I turned the key in the ignition and boom! shake! a huge bang went out the back of the car.”
“Look at this!” yelled Nathan’s younger brother, Daniel, leaning over on the other side of the sad vehicle. “The petrol cap’s open.”
“The ratbags!” growled Dad. “Those new fullas that move into the Miller’s old place must have put sugar or something in the petrol tank.”
“Who’s cooking bacon?” said Maree. The scent of grilled bacon wafted through the morning air. “It’s coming from the direction of the car.”
