Dad's footy



Dad's Footy

It all started when Jack got a call from his best friend Tom. Tom said Jack my dad has a new football. Signed by dad’s hero witch is one of the AFL players the Westcoast Eagles. And the football is not cheap either Sixty dollars just for the ball alone. And he said we can go down to the park and play with it. We can ride our bikes to the park said Tom. Cool said Jack meets me at my house and we can race to the park on the bikes. Don’t forget the footy said Jack then jack and tom said see you soon to each other. When Ton got to Jack’s house Jack was waiting for him. Then Tom said ready set go and they were off racing on the bikes to the park to play with Tom’s dad’s new football. Jack won by miles. When they got to the park they played football. They played for ages then Jack kicked the ball so far that they could not find it. The two boys looked for ages and ages and and ages and ages. By now it was getting dark. Tom said Jack I can not go home
Without the footy dad will kill me. Then Jack hopped on his bike and said I will be back soon. You keep looking. A little while later he came back with two pillows, two sleeping bags , three bottles of water , one big bottle of coke , two packs of chips , two meals from KFC and a tent. He put his bike next two Tom’s bike and then Jack and Tom set up the tent , put the two sleeping bags inside the tent and the two pillows inside the tent and put the food and the drink inside the tent . Then ate the KFC and drank the coke
Inside the tent. After that they kept looking for the footy. At midnight they went to bed. Then at seven am they woke up and kept looking. At twelve pm they gave up, ate the chips, drank the water and packed up the stuff. When they went to get the bikes there was dad’s footy on top of the bikes.
