THE LITTLE SUPERHERO DUCKLING

Once upon a time, there was a duckling called Daisy and
her family.
The duckling wanted to be a superhero. But her
mum and dad said, “You can’t be a superhero now.
You are too little. First you are going to have to get
bigger!”
But Daisy stamped her feet and shouted, “I want
to be a superhero now!”
The little duckling waddled off to see her friends.
She asked her friends Alfie the Dog and Cuddles the Cat
for help. Her friends loved her so much, they said, “We will
help you!”
Every morning they helped their friend Daisy Duck. They
tried running races, press-ups and sit-ups. They even tried
lifting bags of corn in the farmyard. They tried and tried to help
her, but nothing happened at first. Daisy did not give up. Her friends
kept practising with her every day. Then one day BOOOOOMF! Daisy
had become a superhero. She had all the muscles that she needed.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are my best friends ever
for helping me!”
One day, Daisy saw a giant bad robot trying to hit her family.
She fought the giant bad robot. She used her powers to destroy the
giant bad robot and she won!
Then she brought her family to the lighthouse but there were
pirates trying to destroy it. The pirates were so strong that it was
really hard to beat them and to send them away. Her friends Alfie
the Dog and Cuddles the Cat arrived to help her. They fought the
pirates and won!
Daisy Duck’s parents were so proud of her.
“You are our superhero!” they cheered.
Daisy Duck kept growing up to be an adult duck. Now she still
lives happily at the farm with her friends and uses her powers to
help everyone.
ANTONI, THE LIGHTHOUSE FINDER
Antoni was a little boy who lived in a small town with his parents
by the sea. He liked to swim on a boat with his dad on a river.
One day, Antoni decided to swim on a boat to the sea to
find a lighthouse. Dad warned him that the sea is not the same
as the river. Antoni swam happily to the sea. He wanted to find a
lighthouse.
Antoni did not notice the storm was coming. When he was
on the sea, the waves were getting bigger and bigger. He was
scared. Antoni tried to turn back but the land was hard to see.
He started crying. Then he heard the noise of a big ship’s
engine – it was a helper vessel. As soon as the captain took
him on board, Antoni felt safe. Then he told the captain what he
wanted to see.
After Antoni’s short story, they swam straight for the
lighthouse. Antoni was very happy when he saw the lighthouse.
