This is a creative writing story that i set for Luca today in his English lesson.

I have seen lots of flying fish on this trip. Are they birds or fish? This is my fun story of how I imagine they came about...................
Once upon a time there was a sardine called Sard from Sardinia. At that time there was also a seagull called Seg from Spain. Sard was a small sardine, only 7 cm long and he was living under a rock in Sicily at that time.
One fine day, Seg was flying over head and he saw that Sard was eating a piece of chicken. " oh, no no no " Seg said to himself and dove down as chicken was also his favorite. Seg also started picking at the chicken. "Mamma mia" screamed Sard as he saw his meal rapidly disappearing.
Seg and Sard were so busy fighting over the chicken that they did not notice the speedboat race going on nearby. "whoaaaaaaaa" they both shouted as the speed boat shredded them to pieces. "This is going to hur....". They were shredded by the propellors and became moulded together into two super strange looking creatures; fish with wings!

And that is how flying fish evolved.
