"Catch this Jimmy!"

James heard the children in the schoolyard playing. James had never gone to school, but when he was young, he dreamed of playing and learning. His mother was very poor and didn’t have enough money to pay for James to go to school.

You see, James�?family came to Australia from Vietnam on a boat. The reason I said James�?mother before is because James�?father didn’t come to Australia. He was taken away by the soldiers in Vietnam.

Everyday, James goes down to the beach to wait for him and to see if he still remembers James and his family.

But James never sees him.

One day, James didn’t feel right. He felt like something or someone was coming. That day James went to the beach a lot earlier than he usually did.

When he got there he saw something. It was black and quickly approaching him.

It looked like a boat.

There was an old jetty further down the beach. It was wrecked and had a lot of planks missing. The driver of the boat didn’t realise and docked up on the jetty. Then with a huge crash the jetty collapsed and the boat shot backwards. Who or what was it Jimmy thought to himself.
