The Space Wish

Fighting Words Cork, Togher Boys School, 3rd class 01 December 2025

Once upon a time there was someone called Ciarán. And then he met this girl called Gabby online. The next day they went to meet each other. After that they had a cup of tea. Then they went to the zoo and saw a hippo. “OOOOHHH,” He said “Is that a HIPPO!”
“That’s my biggest fear because I’m scared they might chew me up.” Gabby says to Ciarán, “I know hippos well, they won't chew you.”Ciarán doesn’t believe her then he runs out of the zoo.

Then he went to the car and drove away with Gabby. Gabby told him all about hippos and then he realised he was not scared of them. Then Gabby went home.

The next day he woke up from a dream where he wanted to go to the moon. On Snapchat he tells Gabby his greatest wish is to go on a rocket ship to the moon. Gabby said “You’re crazy!”

Ciarán wins the lottery and he pays this guy to go to the moon in a rocket. After two years he trained to be an astronaut and was ready to go to the moon. Gabby became an astronaut too and they bought the rocketship and became good friends. But when they are about to go she tells him it might be a bad idea to go to the moon…
