Hi my name is plover Geoffrey and you won’t believe the horrible terrible days I had! It was the worst day in my whole entire wonderful plover life! From a perfectly fine day to a horrible terrible day! It all started at the park.

There I was just minding my own business when these three mean men put me in this dark spooky cage! I scratched and scratched but I couldn’t get out at all! I was petrified!

Than out of know where a magpie came and believe it or not the magpie helped me! I was so happy but when I left the cage I saw the innocent little magpie had let me go and she was caught! I had to help her.

I helped her until she could fly away from the horrible men.We flew together until we saw a healthy looking tree so we sat down and had a little chat.

Than there was a terrible storm.We took cover in a dark creepy cave.We stayed there until the scary storm was completely gone.I was really scared!

After a while we decided to live in the creepy cave cause we thought we would be more safe.Than on a scary rainy night she got sick! I thought she wouldn’t make it! But the next day she had 7 cute babies! And they lived happily ever after
