Vampire
Bat
A vampire bat came flapping in from the
night, face all covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the
cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the
blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to piss of and
let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.
“OK,
follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through a valley they went, across the river and into a huge forest.
Finally
he slowed down and all the other bats were excitedly around him with their
tongues hanging out for blood.
“Do
you see the large oak tree over there ?” he asked. YES, YES, YES !!!!, the bats
all screamed in a frenzy.
“Good”,
said the first bat, “Because I did not”.

neighbor’s pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit was obviously dead. Chris
panicked.
“If
my neighbor find out my dog killed their bunny, they’ll hate me forever”, he
thought.
So he took the dirty, chewed up rabbit into

the back door open during summer, so he sneaked inside and put the bunny back

“Did

“Oh,

The

thing is the day after we buried him, we went out to dinner and someone must
have dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back in the cage”.

Should
Ads be banned from TV programs
We
are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially
during our favourite programs. We think they should be stopped for a number of
reasons.
First,
ads are a nuisance. They got on for a long time and there are so many.
Sometimes these seems to be more ads than programs.

unhealthy food like beer, soft drink, candy, and chips. And they make people
want things they do not really need and cannot afford.
Finally,
the people who make ads have too much say in what programs people watch. This
is because they want to put all their ads on popular programs, that a lot of
people watch. Some programs which are not so popular got stopped because they
do not attact enough ads, even though those programs may be someone’s
favourite.
