To relieve my boredom with marking 160 English papers this week I have to post this...
The first year class were asked to look at some kids books without words and write a short story based on the pictures. The book in question chosen by the student shows a boy at the beach with his family picking up crabs in a rock pool and building sandcastles - all very innocent and nothing untoward about it.
Here is what the kid wrote:
This family is the mafia. Today this family come to the sea that they looking for arms to use rivalry. One's eldest finds a bomb such as a crab. She say "oh it's great! I will use this" The gang is standing back of her and he chuckle. This time the boy find the arms. Boy said "look this is a net" and another found the blunt instrument. Father said I want to (followed by some Japanese which translates as escape forever).
This is great and made me chuckle. I don't know what this kid is taking, but I want some of what he is on!
Story 2 - about a kid that goes to the library to return an overdue book. He reads a book in the kids corner before leaving with several books only to be told that the limit is 3 and he will have to put most of them back. This story is pretty inane, but there!

The student turns this into:
Please give me the drug. NO! NO! You are lacking for money. Ohh! Really? Hey, my dad!! Let's go there. What's your problem Bob? Oh!! I remember the drug which is caught in the book because I hid the drug in the other book.
Is this kid a Yakuza child?!!
I wish all my students had such a wonderful imagination.
