鞋弟與神秘島

Shoey and the Mysterious Island

Written by St Joseph’s Primary School 5th and 6th Class Templemore, Co. Tipperary

Translated and Illustrated by Tiffany and Kiki

Shoey the shoe was on a magical island and he was feeling very distressed. He used to be a human but the island had transformed him into a pink Nike shoe.

Shoey was hungry and was hopping along the sand, trying to find some carrots (which he didn’t usually like) to eat when he came upon a sock called Socky.

Shoey was cold and thought to use the sock as a blanket. When he went to wrap himself in the sock, it screamed.

“AAAAHHHH!” the sock screamed.

Shoey hopped back, startled.

“What in the spaghetti hoops do you think you’re doing?” Socky demanded.

“Are you able to hop too?” Shoey asked.

“No, I move like a worm. I learned from the greatest, the best – Wendy the Worm,” Socky told him.

Shoey and Socky were hopping and wriggling along the beach, still looking for carrots, when they came across something unexpected.

THE BIG HAIRY TOE.

Shoey was paralysed with fear. The Big Hairy Toe (also known as BHT) was guarding every carrot on the island.

Socky was not afraid of the BHT because they had history. That is how he found out that BHT had taken Wendy the Worm hostage.

Shoey and Socky went to sit under a coconut tree and started plotting how to get Wendy back.

Phase One of the plan was for Socky to distract the BHT and for Shoey to wait for the signal to rescue Wendy. But the signal never came!

Shoey was worried and set off to investigate. When he got to the BHT’s lair, he saw Socky being dragged into a coconut cage with Wendy the Worm.

What would Shoey do next? He would have to complete Phase Two by himself and find a matching shoe…

有一隻叫做鞋弟的鞋子住在一座擁有魔法的神秘島。鞋弟很憂愁,因為他曾經是人類,但是神秘島把他變成了一隻粉紅色的耐克球鞋。

某天鞋弟感到非常飢餓,於是他沿著沙灘蹦蹦跳,想在路上找一些胡蘿蔔吃(他其實沒有很喜歡胡蘿蔔),這時他遇見了一隻叫做襪奇的襪子。

鞋弟本來覺得很冷,所以他想要拿襪子當作毛毯取暖。當他要把襪子穿在身上的時候,襪奇大叫。

「啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!」襪奇尖叫著。

鞋弟嚇了一大跳,往後跳了一步。

「你腦子有洞嗎?知不知道你在做什麼啊?」 襪奇生氣地說。

「你也會跳嗎?」鞋弟問。

「不會,我走路的方式像蚯蚓。我跟一條最厲害最棒的蚯蚓溫蒂學的。」襪奇跟鞋弟說。

鞋弟跟襪奇繼續沿著海灘尋找胡蘿蔔,這時他們遇到了一個從沒見過的東西。

一根又大又多毛的腳趾!

鞋弟嚇得不知所措。那根又大又多毛的腳趾(又稱作大毛腳趾)堅守著島上每一根胡蘿蔔。

襪奇並不害怕大毛腳趾,因為他們之前早有過結。他知道就是大毛腳趾把蚯蚓溫蒂抓了起來當人質。

鞋弟跟襪奇走到一棵椰子樹下坐著開始計畫如何救回溫蒂。

計畫的第一步是襪奇去轉移大毛腳趾的注意力,鞋弟負責等待信號拯救溫蒂。然而,信號一直沒有出現!

鞋弟很擔心,所以他出發去調查真相。當他抵達大毛腳趾躲藏的洞穴,他看到襪奇跟溫蒂被拖進一座椰子牢籠裡。

鞋弟下一步該怎麼辦? 他將要自己完成計畫的第二步,還要找到另一隻跟他配對的鞋子......
