At the time, of course, we weren’t thinking about

I remember it well – it was October 2005.
I was on a world tour, and I phoned one of the
managers of our company, Aardman Animations,
because I wanted to talk about our latest film, The
Curse of the Were Rabbit. He told me some good
news. The film was a big hit. But he also had some
terrible news – our warehouse was on fire! At that
moment, as we were speaking on the phone, a
huge fire was burning!
It was awful. There was a big collection of Wallace
and Gromit models and drawings in there. The
building started to collapse while the fire fighters
were trying to save them. The last man was running
out when the whole building came down. We lost
nearly all of our models, including the pie machine
from the film Chicken Run.

WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
This is the page where you can share your
problems and find solutions.
I’ve got a friend, Jack, who doesn’t go to my school. We live in the same street
and we’ve always got on really well, but he’s very different from my friends
at school. For a start, he’s a year younger than me. Also, he’s really into
reading, especially history books, and my school friends are more interested
in computers and sport, particularly football. It doesn’t usually matter, but the
trouble is, I’ll be sixteen quite soon and I’m having a party. Jack is quite shy
and I don’t think he likes parties. I haven’t invited him, but I’m sure he’ll find out
about it. I don’t want to upset him, but I don’t want to invite him, either. Perhaps
I should cancel the party, but I’ve already invited half my class!

I understand the problem. You don’t want Jack to have a bad time. Last year
I went to a party where I didn’t know any of the people – it was horrible. Why
don’t you explain the situation to Jack? He’ll be fine.
Simon,
Cambridge
I don’t think there’s a problem at all. I think you should invite your friend. He
isn’t a kid – he can decide for himself. He can stay at home if he wants to.
Don’t worry about it.
Jen,

I don’t think you should have a party without your friend. I’ve been in a situation
like this, so I know. My best friend had a party for friends she met on holiday, and
she didn’t invite me. I was really upset and we had an argument. We haven’t
made up yet.

CHILDREN SURVIVE ON OYSTERS AND COCONUTS
M
The children stayed on the rock for three days.
They were able to open a few oysters, but there
was no fresh water, and they knew they couldn’t
survive without anything to drink. In the distance,
they could see the tops of some coconut trees, so
they decided to swim towards them. After about a
day, they reached a tiny island. They still couldn’t
find any fresh water, but they broke open some
coconuts and drank the milk.

ama Franks and her brothers Josef and Hori
live on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. One
morning they were going to a birthday party on
another island when their boat turned over in rough
sea. It didn’t sink, but the children weren’t able to
turn it the right way up. Fortunately, they could
swim well, and they were able to reach a rock
about nine kilometres away. They were extremely
brave, because the sea was full of sharks.
Their father finally found them a week later. They
were dehydrated, hungry and sunburnt, but they
were alive. Their father said later, ‘I couldn’t believe
it when I saw them. It was a miracle.’
