First, Second and Third place winners in each year receive a note book, book token and certificate and commended writers also receive a certificate and small prize. The overall winner was Mabel Povey of Pipers Corner School who won a Golden Ticket, kindly donated by The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre. All winning stories were read to an enthralled audience by Rotarians Jane and Peter Larkham of Wendover Club.
THE WINNING STORY:
Gobble! Gobble! Gobble by Mabel Povey – Pipers Corner School
Mum told me to check the Christmas turkey, so I opened the fridge and the turkey blinked at me! I screamed so loudly the dog slid across the kitchen. Suddenly, the turkey leapt out and yelled, “I won’t be lunch!” Then it flapped around the kitchen like a feathery hurricane, knocking over Mum‘s flour and turning into a snowy turkey cloud. I tried catching it, but it was faster than my sister racing to her advent calendar chocolates. The turkey finally hid behind the Christmas tree and gobbled, ” Please let me go.” So, I did.
Looks like we are eating pizza for Christmas lunch!
