BORO BEAR’S HOLIDAY
A couple of years ago in the Lamex stadium Stevenage FC mascot, Boro Bear,
was doing what he did best, taking photo after photo with basically everyone children, toddlers, teenagers, adults and even elderly fans. He loved his job but there was one thing that bothered him, the heat! It was absolutely horrendous. He was constantly sweating or drinking from his 900ml bottle of water. Then
one extremely hot day the manager, Mr Steve Evans saw Boro Bear sweating and repeatedly taking large sips of his water. He couldn’t bear it any longer so he calmly spoke into the mic, “Boro Bear please come to my office now!”
The whole stadium fell silent as Boro Bear walked terrified to Mr Evans office but to his surprise Mr Evans looked concerned. “Oh my poor Boro Bear you look exhausted, a bit il and you look boiling are you ok?”
“NO I’M NOT OK! I CAN’T SURRIVE ANOTHER DAY IN THIS HEAT!”
“Well, I noticed how hard you work soI want to give you this” he said and handed Boro Bear asparkling, golden aeroplane ticket. “This ticket can take you anywhere in the UNIVERSE, where would you like to go?”
“Anywhere, as long as it is under twenty degrees”
Then Mr Evans suggested “I know, the North Pole! You like Santa, right?”
“Oh, Mr Evans you’re a genius! That’s the perfect holiday spot for me.”
“Then the North Pole it is. Let me check flight times,” Mr Evans checked something on his laptop and then said, “Your flight is at 2.15 so you can have
lunch first with me and the boys but please bring me back a photo of Santa with his autograph on I also love Santa.”
“Ok deal” agreed Boro Bear.
The lunch was delicious. He had Mr Evans signature dish, a curry which contained onion, pepper, basil, chicken and tomato. Befoe he knew it is was time
to say goodbye to everybody and head to Luton airport. With two minutes to spare he safely boarded the aeroplane to the North Pole. When he arrived, he was greeted by a round, jolly man dressed in red. “HOHOHO WELCOME TO
THE NORTH POLE now what’s your name?”
“My name is Boro Bear and I love you so much I CANT’ BELIEVE IM ACTUALLY FACE TO FACE WITH YOU CAN WE TAKE APHOTO TOGETHER?”
“Wait a second you’re the Boro Bear?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, bless my wrinkle’s you’re on the super nice list and of course we can take a photo together…SNOZZELTRUMP!!” Santa called out and suddenly a cheeky looking elf appeared.
“Yes, your Christmas king?”
“Please get me a pen and the camera from the pixie basement”
“Yes sir” and after what felt like 1second she was back!!! “Say north pole!”
“NORTH POLE !!!!!”
Once the photo was taken Snozzeltrump handed it to Santa and the pen so he could sign it and he said something shocking.
“Boro Bear can I have your autograph?”
Boro Bear happily signed it and Santa signed one for Boro Bear too. “Here you go sunny now always remember to be kind and helpful”
Two weeks later Boro Bear said goodbye to Santa and the elves and flew home. To his surprise when he walked out of Luton airport, he saw Mr Evans there in his Mercedes Benz calling, “Ready to come home? We al missed you.”
Boro Bear gave Mr Evans the signed photo. He said “Thank you so much Boro Bear but now I must get you home. You need your rest because it’s match day tomorrow.” When Boro Bear got home, he went straight to bed and dreamt about Stevenage beating Luton Town, 10 – 1 and he had a big smile on his face.
THE END
