On Monday our family got a colour television. It is a Murphy television and it is white and it has ITA1 and ITA2 and B.B.C.2. And it keeps on going funny. And it is very big.

Once we got tadpoles and they grew until they were little frogs. And there was lots of little frogs about the house and they all got killed so we made a little crematorium of matches then we lit it and then pooh what a pong! if any frogs get killed please burn them. (Please feed them live plankton.)
