Once there was a teacher named Mr.Teju. He was the best teacher in the WORLD! So one fine autumn day, it was his class field trip. Mr.Teju drove to the school, while he was driving there was a big traffic jam and he got really scared because he might miss the FIELD TRIP! “I don’t think I will make it” said Mr.Teju. HONK! HONK! All the car horns went. A few moments later, the traffic started to clear up “YAY” celebrated Mr.Teju as he continued on driving. Suddenly, his car started to rattle! BAAM! His car had lost the brakes and it has broken down “Oh, not again” sighed Mr.Teju. He called his friend and waited. So he got into his friends car and started driving. While they were driving to the school the kids were waiting for the bus. “Oh where is it” said one of the kids. Meanwhile, the kids were waiting while Mr.Teju and his friend were driving … “Oh, no 20 mins left!” exclaimed Mr.Teju “drive fast!” he added. Firstly, they started to go on the cool way and they first went on a loop they went about 354km/per hour that they almost fell of the sharp edge. They fell out of their car “AHH” cried Mr.Teju “AHH” cried his friend. They had so much fun that they forgot about the field trip. “Oh, no there is only 12 mins left!” cried Teju. They went on high speed. They went about 300km/per hour. They kept on driving. When they were driving they were chattering. Suddenly, there was an email from the school office and it said “hi students and teachers the school field trip is cancelled due to heavy rain” “oh great” sighed Teju “what?” asked his friend “IT’S BEEN CANCELLED!” cried Teju “Oh great” sighed his friend “hey you want to go on a ship from Melbourne to Hobart and stay there for a few days” asked Mr.Teju “of course” said his friend. Soon days passed and on the 9th of March 2019 they went on the best cruise in the world which is the spirit of Tasmania. They boarded the ship and the guide said “hi, let me show me you your finest and amazing room” the guide said “okay” they both excitedly said. They fell on to their bed with a soft landing. They went to bed and went to sleep. On the next day, “SURPRISE” cheered his class “huh” asked Teju “is this Your class Teju” asked his friend “yes” replied Teju “they are amazing!” said his friend “thanks” replied Teju So this day they started of by going to the zoo. They saw lots and lots of animals like the Galah and the red Kangaroos and some Koalas and Tasmanian devils and then they went to the beach and had some fun. They first went on a fishing boat to catch some fish and all the kids caught lots and lots of sardines but… Teju caught a BASS and they went back on the cruise ship with wonderful and amazing memories. Thanks to their teacher Teju and his best and friendly friend. THE END!!!!!!!!!!! Written by Thimath Basnayake
