This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:
Hallo! I'm a crow and todAy I nEed to journey to Crisp Green Hollow. That means to fly over the wheat fields where they collect wheat. Sometimes they gather a bunch and tie them into a beautiful sheaf. The reason I am flying to Crisp Green Hollow is because I am having a meeting with the pigeons to speak about how we can cease the magpies from stealing our food supply. They always do and get away with it. So annoying!
This is my version:
The combine hArvEster had been busy all day on farmer Bill's
fields. But just as they were about to do the last field, Bill came on
the harvester's intercom shouting "Cease,
cease,..."."What's up?", replied the harvester. "Don't do the last field -
something has come up. Thanks for your help. Go well on your next farm",
replied Bill.
During the next week Bill had managed to get part of the last field
harvested a more old-fashioned way, resulting in many a
sheaf of wheat standing vertical in the
sunshine.
The next day the film crew, sound guys, director, actors etc turned up and
set to creating, a scene of harvesting going on. Eventually it was
time for the actual shooting of the film to begin. The famous actor took a
breath to speak,
but immediately started coughing and struggling to breathe. He calmed
down and tried again - same again. The director ran over. "Do you have
asthma?", he inquired. "I used to a bit as a child", was the reply, "give me
an hour to see if I can build up to full voice". The director did some other
shots not needing the main actor whilst he waited. Eventually they tried
again, and this time everything went smoothly. There weren't any needs for
retakes, so in the end it was okay. None of the camera shots showed the rest of the vast field still left to harvest!
Once the film crew had left, Bill still had to get the last of the wheat
cut. He even made a bit of a profit selling the sheaves of wheat.
