946 - NORTH

This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:

One wonderful, sunny moRning, Luna was teaching Chip and Chilli how to fly. The practice route was North to Mrs Marie's (who is a pious bird) then to Ren's house - Chip and Chilli thought of him as a moron - then finally, the old oak tree. Luna said it would be worth it and it was!

Come on Chip and Chilli - time to fly
Come on Chip and Chilli - time to fly

This is my version:

PatRick lived in Dorset leading, what some would describe as, a pious life. In reality, the 'pious' look was more for show; no one noticed the minor thieving he did when no one suspected! On one occasion, whilst there was a distraction in a pet shop, Patrick stole a large aquarium; nobody noticed until locking up time! Cool as a cucumber, the next day he went back to the shop and bought a moron (a type of dark-coloured salamander) and some other equipment for looking after it. Although it had grieved him to have to spend money of it all, he felt it was worth it, as he'd had a desire to own one for about 10 years. A year later, he became uneasy about all the dishonest gain in this town, fearing he might get caught, and he decided to find a house 300 miles north of his current house. He hoped his salamander would survive the journey.
