8 Begrudgingly, Tony strapped himself into the back seat of the car. He was disappointed- Dad had promised him an afternoon together to visit the local museum and travel there via the subway system transportation, which fascinated him. He stared out of the window grumpily, counting the lampposts they passed until they arrived. It wasn t that he didn t like Grandpa Nono, he just found him fairly dull, except for his impressive collection of treasures in the garage. As Grandpa meticulously mowed the lawn into parallel lines, Tony glanced up at the crowded shelves- row upon row of boxes and memories, stacked precariously on top of each other. Then he noticed a photograph at the top. He used an old wagon underneath a sheet to climb on to reach it, but misjudged the distance and fell to the ground with a crash TF Resource 4c

12 As the rickety old fishing boat approached the horizon, Tony sensed that they were in for a ride. It was a long way down the gushing waterfall to the warm blue lagoon at the bottom, but with Grandpa by his side he knew it would be nothing but fun. The boat began to tip. His eyes widened. He held his breath. The stern teetered on the edge before tumbling downwards- WHOOSH! It was as though they were flying inside a canopy of water. Bubbles splashed his skin. Grandpa bellowed with laughter. Teddy covered his eyes! Within seconds, they had landed safely onto the rippling pool at the foot of the waterfall as it crashed down behind them, laughing in their wake. Tony beamed. That had been awesome! He wondered what the next part of the adventure would bring TF Resource 7a

14 Tony, I m sorry but Daddies don t always get to have fun. Maybe Grandpa Nono will take you to the park, he knows how to have fun too well he used to, mumbled Dad, half-distracted by his phone. Tony hugged his teddy bear tighter. Nono only knows how to do grown up stuff, replied Tony with a sigh. The car came to a halt as they pulled up on Grandpa s driveway. Tony could see him tinkering with his lawn mower inside the dusty garage. Hey Dad! shouted Tony s father cheerfully. Standing up and stretching his back, Grandpa walked towards them both. How are you doing, son? he asked. Thanks for watching Tony on such short notice, Dad said gratefully. Grandpa beamed down at him, Well you know I m always happy to spend time with my Grandson.
