HNI has announced they are doing a talent show. Lots of people auditioned with loads of different talents and I was one of the lucky few who got in the finals. I am going to be acting and narrating a short story that I've written called 'Neighbour's Gossip.' Here it is:
Agnes listened patiently to Mrs Hurshe gossiping on and on, this time about their street. ‘Oh, and did you know that Petunia Sweetpea has got a pink car! I must say it really doesn’t suit her house…..’ Her shrill voice droned on forever in that high, monotonous tone. Agnes checked her watch. Her mother would be visiting her soon. She turned back to Mrs Hurshe. ‘.....Yes, little Jo Collins got stuck on their roof yesterday; Ms MacMillan told me…..’ Agnes was starting to think that Mrs Hurshe was actually a parrot in disguise, when her mother parked on the front lawn. She went to welcome her in and introduce her to Mrs Hurshe. The first thing Mrs Hurshe said when she saw Agnes’s mother was: ‘Well, my cousin Audrey just happens to have that same handbag! What a stunning blue, don’t you agree?’ There was a stunned silence, and then Agnes’s mother gave a horrified shriek. ‘AGNES! Do not go making friends with gossipers! What did I tell you? They are irritating, mindless twits!’ Mrs Hurshe looked terrified. Agnes gave Mrs Hurshe an apologetic look and ushered her to the door.
