Duffy Assembly - By Tiare

Today was Duffy Assembly and a special member called Henry Tuipea came and visited Panmure Bridge School. He told us that he would always go shopping with his mum on Thursday's during his early life. When his mum and himself went shopping, once his mum saw one of her friends they would talk but they would talk from a distance, far away from each other instead of next to each other. Henry's mum would say "oh son just give me 2 minutes" 2 hours later she would still be talking to her friend. He said to himself " I don't want to wait here for 2 hours" so he saw a library he would pick a book out, check it, thinking it was a DVD and said "hey this is not a DVD" he went to the lady at the desk, and he asked " Miss!!" the lady said "SHH" so then he said "Miss" "why ain't the DVD in the package" she said" it's not a DVD" she said" then the children around him said " I knew it wasn't a DVD I told him Miss" then the boys walked off, afterwards Henry said to the lady " what is it miss" so the lady said "it's a book" so she read the book to him and that was the first book he read. Every Thursday when he and his Mum went shopping he would always go to the library to read some books. Once he chose a book there was someone talking loud, he was being disturbed by that person. He went down the back where the person that was being so loud tapped her on the shoulder. As she turned around, she had long black hair, big brown eyes, and joo joo lips. Then the girl goes "what do you want" then all Henry does is laugh, the next thing she does is say's it again, then Henry is still laughing, so she walks out of the library. About 3 years later Henry is 14 years old he is still going to the library. He chooses a book, and there is someone who is being loud. He walks down the back and he taps her shoulder and all of a sudden it is the same girl from the last time he saw her. She turns around and say's "hey". Henry still remember's her and he said to her "can I ask you a question" the girl says "yes" then a few seconds later he says to her "can I read that book after you have finished" she drops the book and she stomps out of the library, he hasn't seen her ever since. The book that she dropped was a book from William Shakespeare, it was the book Romeo and Juliet. Henry said that was what made the journey of his life.
