13-year-old Kylie Gibson from Westcliff Road in Sydney is going to

play the lead in a local production of High School Musical. Kylie

told our reporter that she always wanted to be a singer and

was really thrilled to get the lead. “I saw the movie

a few months ago. It was great!”

Dear Diary,

Today is my birthday. I’m eleven!

And later I’m going to have a big party.

I can’t wait! But my little brother Ben

can’t come. He’s a pain in the neck.

I wish I had a sister instead.

Or maybe another cat

like Rinaldo.

Hello again! Remember me – Harry? I’m 10 years old and live in Manchester. We’ve got a famous football team – Manchester United. My dad loves football and is a big Man U fan. But I hate football – it’s so boring! I prefer to spend all my time with my computer.

THE LEOPARD AND THE LIGHTHOUSE 4

thirteen | 13

Sindi is an island in East Africa. It has beautiful beaches with white sand. The sea is clear and blue. There are lovely trees and flowers on Sindi. There is also a small village with white houses. An old lighthouse stands near the village on the rocks by the sea. The lighthouse is empty now. Sometimes children from the village play in the lighthouse.

Sindi lies about five hundred meters from the mainland of Africa. A lot of animals live on the mainland – mon-keys, elephants and leopards. One day a leopard swims across the sea to Sindi. The leopard is very hungry and he is looking for food. He swims quickly. He comes to the beach and gets out of the water. Then he walks along the road to the village.

The leopard runs through the streets of the village. Behind him the people are following. They are very angry. They do not want a leopard in their village. The leopard is very tired now. But where can he run? He sees a small road between two high walls. He runs along this road. The people follow him.

The leopard runs quickly along the road. He cannot see over the walls. He cannot go back and there is no way out. Suddenly he sees a tall building. The door of the building is open. He runs through the door. Then he stops.

Harry is online skyping with Kylie.

harry Guess what? I was the host for our autumn School Show. I think I was inspired by you. kylie Really, Harry! Maybe you should read the High School Musical books. harry What are they about? kylie This girl, Gabriella, comes to a new school. She meets Troy and they fall in love. But Sharpay, a really mean girl, tries to make them break up. harry Is that it? Sounds soppy to me! kylie No, it isn’t, Harry! It’s really exciting! And at their school they put on musicals and talent shows. harry Musicals? Talent shows? Go on! kylie Gabriella, Troy and Sharpay are all in the shows. Sharpay is chasing Troy the whole time. harry Must get out of breath! kylie Very funny! But Gabriella and Troy stay together. harry So a happy ending then? kylie Yes. Then in book three they have to choose new schools. harry Choose new schools? Wow! How exciting!

kylie Harry don’t be stupid! harry Sorry! Go on. kylie Troy is going to study dance, music and sports. Gabriella is going to a school for very talented kids. harry So they stop seeing each other? kylie No. The schools are in the same area. So they can still see each other. harry That’s it? Sounds dull to me! kylie No! The books are so good. Our local theatre’s putting on the musical and I’m in it. harry Really? kylie Yes. I’m playing the lead – Gabriella! harry The lead? Wow! kylie So are you going to read the books? harry No. I don’t like love stories. I prefer fantasy books. kylie But you can’t make musicals out of fantasy books. harry Hey! That’s an idea! kylie What do you mean? harry Maybe that’s something for me and Bridget to do. kylie Bridget? Who’s Bridget?

SCHOOL PROJECT16

Kylie is in her bedroom sitting in front of her computer. Bibi knocks and enters.

bibi What are you doing Kylie? kylie I’m working on a school project about water! I need to catch up … after all the singing. bibi Yes, I guess you do. Well, good luck! See you later! kylie Yes, see you later, Bibi!

Bibi leaves the room and Kylie carries on working.

kylie OK, how do I do this!? Where can I find information about water? And no chatting or scyping because then I’ll never finish my homework! Oh, I sound just like Dad now! (typing)’ Water supplies in the world’ That’s a good search phrase! (pause) Wow! So many results! Right, let’s try this one…

Kylie clicks on a website and checks what comes up on the screen.

kylie Oh, this is good. I think I can use it.

Water for Life

Water. We drink it. We cook with it. We wash with it. We can’t

Many people in the world don’t have water in their homes. They

have to walk for hours to the nearest well or river – and this water

isn’t always clean. About 80% of all the world’s diseases come

from dirty water.
