The Butterfly Lion



The Butterfly Lion is a beautiful book. The book has a little bit of a roller-coaster of emotions.
Anyone will love this book.

 Bertie is so sweet when he is a child, but when he is older he is more determined. Bertie's friend Millie is so generous to people, even if her father was never there. Bertie's mom is so kind and caring to anyone, even if she does not agree with them. Bertie's dad is okay, he sold the white lion and made Bertie move to England for school and when Bertie's mother died, he sold the farm and married another woman. The good things about him is that he is in some ways generous.


World War 1 came, and Bertie had to sign up for the army because their men were dying fast and they needed more men.I was so miserable when I heard it. Millie felt broken-hearted when she heard it too. Bertie saved two men when he had a injured knee. For that he won VC (Victoria Cross) and was well known. 

After a while Millie became a nurse to go help at war (mostly to see Bertie) and got put in the same tent as Bertie. 
One day when Bertie and Millie were walking and they saw the circus poster of the white lion.
They found the white lion with the circus owner and the circus owner said if they feed him and the lion, he would give the lion to Bertie.

After a while, Bertie and Millie got married ( of course with the white lion )
 

To be continued.....

 Hope you enjoyed and you will read the white lion.

The Music Inspector

Dear Journal My name is Gladys Armstrong. Yesterday was awful. It was the day the music inspector came. I was very scared since I don’t like singing and I usually just lip sync the words. I was standing in the back as usual when the music inspector, Mr. R, walked into the room. He was wearing huge knickerbockers and stockings that reminded me of a hunting man. He has a big red mean looking face that made goosebumps all over my arms and bright blue eyes. He had a quick look at us before putting down his bag. He said we have to do ‘do, ray, me’ and the tapping thing. After all of that he called Benny Gibler and Charles Harolson to go sing. I could see the sweat and fear that they were going through. Mr. R told them to stand in front. They did not know a single song. It was dreadful! Mr. R got angry and his face when bright red, redder than his usual tone.  My eyes were wide open to show I was listening. Even the naughty boys went quiet. Finally Charles said something, “we can sin

Life of an Informal Settlement Child

Warning: This story is 93 sentences long. Don’t fall asleep! Dear Journal, My name is Kibo-Chan Today was the same as every other day. Cold, wet and boring.I’m a child that lives in a informal settlement. I have a small shack made out of metal that is freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. I share it with my two brothers, one sister, my mom and me. You’re probably wondering “where is your father?” He was away for work in another city called Cape Town in the Western Cape. My family lives in Mpumalanga, I don’t know where because I don’t have the best education. He is a gardener there. A few months ago my family and I moved to Cape Town with my father. My ‘house’ in Mpumalanga was a lot better than the one we have in Cape Town. My dad did not know we were coming and he has used a lot of his money to a aéroplane to get to here. Our house is smaller than before. I have to share a mattress with my sister and my brothers have to share a another mattress as well.My pare
