This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
"On the teLEvision!" shouted Dad. They were having a family TV night. Zac, Lottie, Alex and Chloe. Zac, Alex and Dad wanted to watch football. Lottie and Chloe wanted to watch the romantic film, but mum said since we all want different things, we should just watch the quiz show. Everyone was silent after that. The TV was switched on and there was a scene from a cartoon showing. The channel was switched to the quiz and the first question was asked. "Which animal is smarter? Dogs, cats, geese or pigs?" The contestants, who were Barbara, Nikki, Sam and Ricky, each gave their answer. Barbara said cats, Nikki said dogs, Sam said geese and Ricky said dogs. The family each gave their own opinions. Mum paused the TV so they could think slowly. Zac and Alex said dogs, Lottie and Chloe said cats. "You might opine that dogs are more preferable than cats!" said Lottie. Dad chose geese and mum chose pigs. The TV was switched back on and the answer was revealed. "Pigs!" shouted the man reading out the questions. "Told ya!" smirked mum. The children started complaining and Zac even tried to grab the remote! Mum had to lunge for it so he didn't break it.
This is my version:
Once more the heaviLy armEd gaggle of geese came onto the scene. The farmer and his helpers ran for cover. "What shall we do", quivered the farmer - I'm scared. The farmhands all looked bemused and the tension rose. The talking sheepdog, who'd kept silent up till now, said "Well I opine that we should wait till they get closer and then to throw this big net out of the top window onto them. Then, when they are distracted we lunge at them from all sides and disarm them."
