Duffy Assembly

Today Saint Patrick’s School went to the school hall and we had some visitors from the Duffy books. They were the people that buys  books and give them to us . There were two gentlemen and one of the men stood up and talked about how books changed his life.

His story was about how he went to the shopping mall with his mum one day.  Every time he would go there, his mum would see a friend in one of the shops. She would tell him to wait for 5 seconds while she talked to her friend.  The 5 seconds actually meant 5 hours. The next time it happened again and mom would say the same thing to me. Then it happened again and again and again that he became sick of waiting.

He decided to go to a place that had a lot of shelves with  CD covers. then he picked one of the CD covers and looked at it and he said to hem safe this looks cool  then when he opened it there was nothing so he became upset. He welk up to the frat deck and asked the lady where is the CD then the lady said to hem  it is a book not a CD. After that he read the book in the library but then until someone was distracting him by talking very loudly in the library so Henry got up and was ready to tell the person off but when he got there he tapped the person back and the person turned around and Henry looked at the person and the person looked back at him and he saw her beautiful brown long hair and her brown eyes and big juju lips and asked him what do you want in a pushy way, When it was Henry’s turn to talk he had no words coming out of his mouth so she told him to get lost.

After a few days Henry got up because he was sick of crying because he cried for 7 days and 14 hours 10 minutes and 10 seconds. He felt devastated because he liked the girl and she rejected him. Then he went back to the library and he went to look for a book.  He was surprised that some girls was there. He walked up to her and said to her can you go somewhere else because she was talking to lead an then she run off out of the library. And she cried for 7 days and 14 hours and 11 minute and 11 seconds. Everyone said to him you are sad and some kids just laughed then we took a photo  of him then we went back to class.
