This is a story I wrote as a home school task.
Not Again
“Chief, do you copy?” The human chief police officer, Mr. Goggle’s radio said in a cracked up voice. “Yes, I do, what is it? Over.”
“It happened again.”
“Seriously?” Mr.Goggle was outraged by the wretched, filthy animals that lived in this town. This was the third time this week the electrical elephants were stupid enough to destory the power source of the small town. The animal residents were unbearably loud as the power outage continued on. “ENOUGH!” Mr.Goggle boomed. There was instant silence. “The outage will be sorted in a few hours or more.” There were loud complaints. “I’m going to get those elephants fired if it’s the last thing I do.” He said under his breath.
As he sprinted over to the electrical centre his deputy was waiting with a few other cops. “Chief! It’s getting out of control! They might set fire to the place if we don’t stop them!” He was obviously very stressed. “How long has this been going on?”
“Around 10 minutes!” The chief was shocked. “And you didn’t try stop it?” The deputy chief looked at his feet guiltily. “I mean… no…” Mr.Goggle sighed and strode on inside. It smelt and looked like there had been a humongous explosion. He coughed until he saw three elephants coming towards him. He bolted out the door as opposed to being trod on by an elephant.
“What have you done!” Mr.Goggle yelled to the elephants as they came crashing through the door. There was a guilty sway of a trunk before their boss came out of a brilliantly coloured mustang. “You. Are. Fired.” He said with a bit of a stammer. “Do you know how much the repairs will be? Ugh. I wish I never hired you!” This sent the three elephants into the forest behind the building.
To this day nobody knows where they went, let alone seen them. There have been no sightings since the very day they ran away. Some say that they ran away to the tropical forests. Others say the died quickly after realising they were stranded. I guess we will never know.

How I Imagine Aliens
I imagine aliens as dangerous creatures. They have acid on their rough flesh that can burn you severely. In the early stages of aliens they always seemed to trip over their 6 legs, causing the newer versions large left eye to appear red, not black like the other 6. It's bright skin signals that it is poisonous and you should not consume it.
Like most animals, the alien has a predator, the Fegnusrom. The Fegnusrom is a menacing creature with yellowed teeth and a signature scar across it's rump. It is a whopping 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It's 12 sharp claws are used to rip apart aliens. You may be asking, Well, if the skin of an alien is toxic, how can the Fegnusrom rip it apart? Well, it is immune to the acid, which is why it is the only predator.

The SPCA and What it Does (SLJ)
The SPCA is a animal charity that focuses on rescuing neglected, abandoned, and abused animals. It is the only charity that has legal power to help animals in need with horrible owners and bring animal offenders to seek justice. They take in dogs and keep them under their wing until they can find a home with a loving owner. As soon as an animal comes in, they give them necessary treatments and checks.
The SPCA first calls the ambulance team if an animal has been abandoned, neglected or abused. They have a national rescue unit based in Wellington. Up to twelve people are able to go around New Zealand and rescue dogs in the following situations:
Floods/Fast water
Small spaces
Heights
Earthquakes
Fire
The SPCA has helped many animals find forever homes and reunite them with there original owners. As soon as the animals arrive they receive food, water, bed and shelter. They work hard to ensure that all of their animals get the best home they can possibly find. There is no time limit for an animal to get adopted that comes into the arms of the SPCA.
All animals are given a health check as soon as they reach The SPCA. It is usually just a checkup, seeing how the animal is doing, but in some cases, they have to get special treatment or even life saving surgery.
The SPCA is an amazing group of people. Since there are so many creatures everywhere getting abused and neglected, all those feed bags, water bills, beds and toys are going to cost. That is why The SPCA needs all the money it can get. If you donate, a dog will be granted a bed.

The Water Project (SLJ)
The Water Project is a charity filled with many amazing people. Their goal is to produce clean water for the 1,000,000,000 at least who can't access it. The Water Project is affecting millions of communities over Africa with cleansed water from taps, wells, and hygienic toilets.
Girls around Africa are twice as likely to be sent out to collect water and drop out of school when they reach puberty as they give up on travelling miles just for water. This obviously damages their education. Kids are said to be shivering, having headaches and sore stomachs. The Water Project is replacing the water they drink (infested with bacteria and other dangerous cells) with clean water.
School food costs are expensive because less water = less crops. The children go hungry and clean water can stop that. The Water Project is trying to support them with more water to grow food which will help them focus in class.
Lots of little worms and bacteria live in natural, muddy ponds. Because the bacteria can't be seen by the human eye, people drink the water. Most bacteria is harmless, but some can cause major diseases and illnesses in humans. The Water Project goes to countries with water like this and builds taps that produce filtered water with no bacteria.
The main cause of poverty in Africa is also the cause that is the most missed, the lack of clean water. When people drink infected water, they become sick. When you become sick, you cannot work, as you are too exhausted. The Water Project is making sure people can work by providing safe water.
So... yeah! The main point is, The Water Project is providing bacteria free water for peoples benefits. Kids can go to school without losing focus or dropping out because they are tired of lugging water 5 miles there and 5 miles back. People will go out of poverty as they are no longer sick. If you donate to The Water Project, you might just make the most depressed person in the world, the happiest.
