   Show Time

This story is by David Hill

Their teacher said that they have a special show and tell. Ms Kape said to bring something interesting from your garden.  Each show will earn points for their group. Next day Slade looked in the garden and found a spider, a big black spider with big black legs. Slade carried it inside. He wanted to take it for the show and tell. “All right” his mum said, “But let it go afterwards”. The spider started running up Slade’s arm. He caught it again. This will make a cool show and tell he thought. He grabbed the box off the kitchen bench and rushed off to school.  

Room Five watched as Slade walked to the front. He opened the box upside down. Something fell to the ground and vanished under the front desks.
