I have three funny masks, one for me, one for my brother and one for my sister.

Dad has some plastic swords.“Let’s play a game!” says Dad.

My sister, my brother and I fight Dad with our swords. “Aa-ii-oo!” we yell as we fight. “That is very funny,” says Mum. “I will get the camera.”

Dad pretends he is scared of us. “Oh no! Oh no!” he cries. “Don’t kill me!” He tries to hide behind Mum.

Dad lets us win the fight. He falls over and waves his arms and legs in the air. My sister points her sword at his heart.

Click! I take a photo with Mum’s camera. A few weeks later, I take the photo to school for a competition. It wins the second prize. I am very pleased.

The photo is enlarged and put on the notice board in the school playground where everybody can see it.

Funny photos

On Parents’ Day, Mum and Dad come to school. Dad is very surprised when he sees the photo.

He says, “How did that get here?” We tell him. “You are our hero,” we say to Dad.
