Can you trust your friend...

Today is the 24th of June and the whole class was up for a treat. As soon as our teacher said that we were going to eat a cockroach or toffee we all were shocked. After that we got into pairs and I was with my best friend Julianna. Julianna blindfolded me and we started the game.

Julianna had to choose from a cockroach or a toffee. I knew I could trust her, but I was still very scared.

She said “open your mouth Kiarah!”

I was terrified, but I trusted her and opened my mouth. As she put it in my mouth, I could feel something hard. Straight away I knew that it was the toffee because the toffee was hard. I was so relieved and happy. Now I know that I can really trust Julianna.

Now it was my turn to decide to either feed Julianna a cockroach or a toffee. I was going to feed her a cockroach, but then I realised that Julianna fed me a toffee. So then I fed her a toffee. She was so grateful that I fed her a toffee.


In conclusion I wanted to tell you that the cockroaches were actually dried dates. It was so fun and I felt nervous and excited at the same time. When Miss West told us that the “cockroach” was actually a date I felt betrayed.
