Hemi the Money Maker

Hemis dad said you have to mow the lawns or you won't get pocket money. Hemi did not  want  to  Do the lawns so he made a robot out of guitar strings and dads here cutter  and a blender   and  a lazer and  Hemi stayed up all night building his robot. The next morning Hemi pushed  out a trolley  from  the shed then pulled a cover off it. There was his latest invention. His best robot he had built. It was silver and shiny like race car. Hemi woke  up  because of  a  whole lot of shouting. Then Hemi became rich. He became rich because his robot mowed all the lawns in the town.

Then a new kid called Big Steve came to the neighborhood. Big Steve said “I smell chicken nuggets” . Sean ate the chicken nuggets and that made Big Steve really mad so Big Steve put pink paint on Sean. The kids started laughing at Sean until Big Steve said “watch out or you'll be next”. The kids had, had enough big kids bossing them around so they ordered a truck full of super inflated chicken nuggets then Sean and  Big Steve ate all the chicken nuggets then they became fat and then the kids said “volleyball time” .


“HAHAHAHAHA  you are going out in space. It was all your fault and the the kids wouldn't have been in space.” said Sean. “All my fault but if you had gave me the chicken nuggets…” If we get popped by that satellite then we willbe on earth again. BANG! Yay we are on earth now we are normal size. You guys want play laser tag “I'm keen.”said Big Steve “me to” said Sean. Until big Mike came along….
