Some Stories From the Children in CLASS THREE
THE MAGIC CREDIT CARD
BY HECTOR PEEL
One day when a normal boy named Bob, went shopping with his dad, something extraordinary happened!
On the 21st of May 2010, Bob and his dad were going shopping when his dad found out that he had no money. They went to a cash machine and suddenly, when they got to the cash machine, without warning the world seemed to halt.
The only thing that was moving was Bob and the cash machine the machine was shaking and quaking and then a credit card flew out into Bob’s hand. Then the world started moving again and Bob quickly hid the credit card behind his back - he would look at it when he got home……
As soon as he got home Bob looked at the credit card and saw that there was a tiny keypad with numbers on.
Bob typed in “10000000” and pressed “confirm” then £10,000,000 pounds appeared out of nowhere.
“Oh my goodness” said Bob,
“What is happening?”
He thought to himself “I am going to be the most important person in the school and all my friends will be asking me for money!”
He hid the credit card underneath his bed and went to sleep dreaming about school tomorrow.
When Bob woke up in the morning he had forgotten that he had the £10,000,000 still in his room and he needed to get rid of it.
And FAST!
His mum would come up to his room any second now.
He had an amazing idea. His window was facing the street where everyone was getting in their cars and driving off to work. He started throwing the money out of the window. All the people in the cars jumped out of their cars, grabbed the money and shouted “Alleluia”. He quickly closed his window just as his mum was coming in his room. He had forgotten one thing. There was one £20 note on his floor. His mum knocked on the door. Bob said “Come in”! but when mum saw the £20 note she looked shocked and she said “What is this?” Bob said “It is your birthday present!”
She answered “But… my birthday was three months ago”
“Oh, No I forgot to give it to you!” said Bob.
Mum went out looking very suspicious and Bob suddenly thought, “What if I’ve used all the credit card money up?”
He picked up the credit card and on the back it said, in gold writing, “Once you have used the money from this credit card it will need the light of day to restore its money again”
Yes! - I’ll take it to school with me and it won’t run out of money and I will use it at playtime.
Bob packed his bag and set off to school and on his way to school he opened the car window and put his credit card out of the window to re-charge it., When he got to school, his friends were crowded around a poster that someone had brought in. It said across it in very big letters “OUT NOW – THE PLAYSTATION 200” Everyone was moaning and saying “Oh No!” and then Bob saw why. At the bottom of the poster it said “£10,000,000 each!”
Bob thought, “I know, I could buy one of those with my credit card!”
He said “I am going to buy all of you a Playstation 200!”
Everybody said things like “Yeah, right!” until Bob started smiling, turned his back on them and they heard a whirring and ticking. When he turned round he had £10,000,000 for each of his friends.
Everybody started screaming and shouting “Hooray, Hooray!” until one very thoughtful boy went over to Bob and said, “Hang on a moment, where did you get that money from?” and Bob said nothing.
When Bob was out in the playground, his bag was opened by one of the school bullies and he found the credit card and after school he gave it to the police. Bob was extremely cross, “I’ll get you back for that,” said Bob to the bully. The bully said to Bob, “My dad who is in the police says that you have been stealing and you need to go to child prison for ten years. Bob said “Oh No” but he spent the next ten years in prison.
