THe Big Kick :: By CIara O'Grady

"Yippee" said Mary as she scored her third goal. It was Saturday morning and Mary and her brother Jim were playing football in the garden. Mary was Ronaldo and Jim was Van Persie. Jim was annoyed because he only scored one goal so far. He ran to the ball and gave it a massive kick. It zoomed past Mary's ear and straight into the window of Dad's new shed. There was a loud crash and Jim and Mary looked at the shed in horror. There was glass everywhere. They looked inside and Dad's pride and joy, his shiny red lawnmower, had a big dent in it. "This is bad" said Jim. "Well, I'm not telling him" said Mary, "you kicked the ball". She left him there and went inside with the ball. Jim was scared. His Dad was going to be really,really mad.
