Blackberry picking

Louis here, Mummy was working. First Daddy gave us two tubs and he set us a challenge to fill our tubs with 25 Blackberries. Sammy (my brother) wanted to eat the blackberries but then I said "I thought Daddy set us a challenge?, so we started picking the blackberries!

I picked 25 in about 3 minutes and then went back to Daddy and said "I've picked 25" so he set me another challenge to pick another 25. I did that in about 4 minutes.

My little brother was still picking 25. Eventually he gave up and left it all to me. He went off to eat sweets.

Then we started watering our plants and then picked 2 courgettes and there were loads of plums on the floor so we started picking them up. Daddy stood on the seat and started picking them from the tree. Soon we noticed that there were loads of raspberries on our raspberry bush. We picked around 10 or 15 and then my little brother ate 2 and put the rest in the bag.

I found a shield bug on my blackberry tub and he was green and he eventually flew off because I blew him.

Sammy and I wanted to make a plum ruffian from Mr Gum's story, a great children's story book. Then Sammy was trying to squash the plums and get a stone out of it.
