The River Accident

                The River Accident

It was shiny day. We were walking with friends along the river, nothing was going to be wrong, but suddenly we saw man that walked in the river near waterfalls. We ran to this man.
When we came to the riverside next to the man, we saw that man was stuck between rocks in the river. He couldn't get out off the river because he was out of energy.
 Me and my friend decided to rescue man. We jumped into the river and swum to the man. When we got to him and trited to unstuck him from the rocks, my friend tripped on another rock and stuck there. So, now, two people needed help, i couldn't help them alone, so i asked friends that were on the riverside to call the rescue services. 
 After a few minutes the recuers came to the accident place. All the risk was in the river waterfall what was in just 20 meters! The Rescuers tried to pull us out of the river many times, but they done it only after 7th try. We were rescued, everything was alright.
The rescuers said that we are very brave that we decided to rescue the man, but in the future if we'll see accidents like this, first we need to do is to call the rescue services. Rescuers took man to hospital, we went to our homes.

I've chosen a character from Dick King-Smith story called "The Sheep-Pig" - it is the pig Babe.
  On the first times, at the farm, when farmer just bought him and took to the box he was "a little stupid" - as sheepdog Fly said. After he met sheepdog Fly his life and he changed alot. Babe perceives Fly as his mum.
With her help he learns that he can be anything that he wants to be. Next when Fly's young dogs leaved her, Babe and Fly is started to be a good friends. Babe realises that he has makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time, and farmer knows that. After being on farm for a long time he starts to understand people. He is learning all about sheep-dog profession very very fast. 
So mi idea is that at the beginning of the story Babe was "...a little pig who doesn't know his place in the world" and in the end of story he is the greatest pig. I think all the events led up Babe to this high - friendship with sheepdog Fly, meeting with sheep Ma and other sheeps in the farm. Of course, if farmer wouldn't buy pig - Babe would be a typical pig.

I have read 4 chapters from Dick King-Smith book "Sheep-pig".

Mr Hogget bought a pig. It was 14 kilos heavy. On the farm pig met sheepdog Fly and her young dogs.
Fly though that all animal except dogs are stupid. Fly gave name to pig - Babe. Babe and Fly were friends, and they slept together in one box. Fly said to pig "You mustn't go into Mrs Hogget's kitchen. I can go in, but you must wait outside". Dogs knew, that Mrs Hogget is going to take pig to make a christmas dinner. Fly's young dogs left her and went to work in other villages, but fly was happy because she had Babe. One day Fly showed to Babe all farm and taught how to be a sheepdog. Soon Babe met ill sheep Ma.
