1129 - CADET

This is my 10-year-old Granddaughter's version:

Leo was getting ready for Pippa's party. It was a fancy dress space party. He didn't actually a together a space costume, but his Mum had put together a costume out of random bits and bobs from around the house. He was planning to be space cadet. Leo's mum had made a suit out of old cricket pads for the legs, wellie boots for his shoes, a cardboard box with holes for the arms and head and legs, and mom had drawn some buttons on it too. Leo was was wearing his white jumper underneath and his goalie gloves. And finally his mum placed a plastic see-through on his head and his old rucksack on his back. "Mum, there there's a hole in the cardboard", Leo pointed out. "Not everything is perfect!" His mom sighed as she taped the hole shut. Then she drove Leo to Pippa's house where a birthday banner was already on the door. So, armed with a present and card, Leo knocked on the door. Pippa's mom opened it and said gently, "Hello Leo, Hello Mary!," she said, "right this way, Pippa is playing with Milo and Lily. Leo's mum left and they played some party games then watched a movie about this amazing man who tamed a tiger and has a pet goose. After that they ATE a delicious lunch and had a space themed cake to follow before opening presents and cards.

This is my version:

It wAs The time of yEar for the Saltash Cardboard Boat Race. Constructors had been busy with their cardboard tubes, cardboard boxes from big items like TVs etc, which had all been taped together with gaffer tape. All sorts of fancy dress had been created to accompany the theme of the craft. Someone looked like a tamed savage whilst another looked like a naval cadet. It was time for the race. All sorts of mayhem ensued but there was an overall winner. There were also prizes for the most spectacular sinking, best fancy dress and so on.
