Dear Diary, Monday 15th September

Yesterday, me and my friends went to the park to go and play on the swings. It was a hot sunny day. I couldn't wait to play tag with my friends. We loved playing tag around the trees. We came close to a funny looking tree that was shorter than the rest and it had lots of coconuts on it. So, we decided to have a race and see who could collect as many coconut as they could. All of a sudden, Tom saw a huge eyeball! We were so scared, we ran away screaming! We're scared to go back to that tree!
