 Dinner at 30,000 feet

“...and chips with it too, please.” The food took half an hour. “Would you like ketchup with your chips?”, the server asked the American passenger. “Yes, please.” he replied.

Then he asked the Australian if he would like ketchup, “Can I have vegemite instead?” he asked politely, “Yes, of course!” the server replied.

And finally, he asked the British tourist if he’d like ketchup but he declined. Then he offered him brown sauce but the passenger declined that, too. “Would you like vegemite then?” he asked, irritated. The British man turned down the offer, losing his patience. “No”, he said, “I like Marmite”.

The Marmite Revolution

 

The Marmite Revolution

“Breaking news, a huge vote is going on in Ireland right now, it’s a vote between Marmite and Nutella. The atmosphere is electric and police have had to intervene.  We’re going live to Dublin,  Ireland to speak to our correspondent, Josh’. “Hi Josh!” ‘We’re here with Oisín, a 10 year old boy”.  “Tell us Oisín, which one do you like?  I’m guessing Nutella”. “’No” he said ‘I like Marmite’. “Well there you have it folks, that’s all for today, until next time stay safe from all of us in RTE’.

Marmite Fright

 

Marmite Fright

Today we tried marmite! It was the most horrendous thing EVER. It was so disgusting that I decided to research it at home. It turns out marmite is made of HUMANS! I was so shocked that I went to tell my family and they were so surprised that they dropped their phones and let them shatter. I went to tell my best friend about it I was running to his house shaking with fear and when I arrived I said “stop eating that, you know what you’re eating right?” “No” he said, “I like Marmite”…

Food Contest

 

Food Contest

By Senan Ó Dorchaí

It was just a normal day at school, I was walking down the hall when I saw a poster for a food contest. So, I decided to enter it.  The contest was at 2:00 on Saturday.  That morning I had no breakfast so I would be able to eat a lot which I thought was very smart – “if I don’t say so myself”. First, we had to eat marmite but I didn’t like the smell and couldn’t eat it.  But, the boy next to me started saying “I like marmite“ and he ate a lot of it and won the competition.  But, his joy was short lived – the last I saw of him was running to the toilet with his hand over his mouth.

The Marmite Haters’

 

‘The Marmite Haters’

 

Kevin and Conor were two ordinary boys with two ordinary lives except for one thing.

Their parents HATED marmite .Yes, I know they hated the thick brown gooey fudgey stuff.

So as they already knew they were forbidden  to try it. Kevin and Conor so wanted to try it, so one morning before their parents woke up they snuck out of the house and on their bikes to the shops and searched for the biggest tub of marmite they could find.

And there it was, the biggest tub of marmite ever seen. It was 1,0000g . Conor quickly grabbed it and put it in a bag. Let's go Kevin, he said. They quickly cycled back home just in time to get back in bed before their parents woke up. Just when they heard their dad go downstairs, “Conor, have you still got it” said Kevin. “Yeah” said Conor. Then let's go. Kevin and Conor ran downstairs.

Conor took out the big tub of marmite and showed it to his parents. His mam screamed “how dare you bring that into our house you spoiled brat” she screamed. 

Just then Conor opened the lid and stuck his finger in the tub and into his mouth. “So do you hate it?”asked Kevin. No, he said “I like marmite”.

John went downstairs for breakfast on Monday morning and saw marmite on his toast. He hated marmite. He thought it was so disgusting, he couldn’t bear the sight of it. He had the first bite of it, “yuck” he said “I hate marmite” and spat it out. He asked his Dad for a nicer breakfast instead of what he had. His Dad said he had to eat it because if he didn’t he would have no energy for school. They had a big debate about marmite. “I hate marmite”, said John. Then his Dad exclaimed “No”, he said “ I like marmite”. “You either hate Marmite or love it I guess”.

SHOPPING

 

Shopping

 Today is Saturday, the day that my Mum and I do shopping for my Grandpa. My Mum and I got in the car and we drove to Tesco. When we got there we got everything on the list except for marmite. “What’s marmite?” I asked my Mum. “It’s like honey mixed with soy sauce.” Mum said.

 We looked everywhere for it but it was not there. “Let’s just get honey.” I said taking honey from the shelf. “Okay.” Mum said. After we bought the shopping for my Grandpa, we put the bags in the boot of our car.

When we arrived at my Grandpa’s house we brought in the bags. My Grandpa shoved me out of the way and rooted through the shopping until he grabbed the honey. He opened the honey and spred it on toast and took a big bite. My Grandpa spat out the honey toast. “No” he said “I like marmite not honey”.  My mum and I backed away and we never forgot the marmite ever again.

Marmite

 Marmite

One day, a man went to work. The man worked at a place where they made peanut butter, Marmite and lots of other sauces. He had to wear a brown top that looked like it was dipped in chocolate and he also wore black trousers. In work he started to make some Marmite and peanut butter. He used spicy seeds and some leaves that smelt like mint. Next, he added some sugar in it. Walla….. ‘It is ready to go!’ He said with joy.

Then he made the peanut butter, he used some nuts and a tiny bit of sugar. Then he mixed it all up. After this, he got some bread and he put some butter on it. Next, he put some peanut butter on it and done the same with the Marmite. When this was finished he went out to the park and made a little stand. A boy came to his stall and the man asked if he wanted some peanut butter….. No the boy said, I like Marmite! So the man gave him some Marmite and he went home happier than ever.

We arrive at our hotel and see lots of people on the streets, some have cloths, some have helmets to cover their heads. Suddenly as we walked down the road I realized it’s a marmite festival, they are throwing it at each other and laughing. We spot a boy hiding and crying and we ask him why he’s so upset and not joining in, “do you not want to play?” “no” he said “I like marmite” and he ran off.

“Ding”! Yes! Finally they were ready! Dr McMarmite had cloned a jar of marmite in his lab, and now he had 1000 marmite jars that could: a)talk b)jump c)shoot marmite! His plan was ready for action! His assistant came into the lab with a confused look. “I thought you hated marmite?” “no” he said “I like marmite”. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. “I wonder who that is?” he muttered. He had, after all, a doormat saying “GO AWAY”. He opened the door. A policeman came in. “Got ya!” he shouted. His assistant had betrayed him! He had phoned the police! It was a marmite disaster.

My friend, Tony, and I were gone to the shops to buy supplies for our other friends surprise party. We were putting sweets and party banners in our basket. We passed by some disgusting foods like spam, vegemite and stuff like that. Then we passed a jar of marmite. I made a gag gesture. "No" he said "I like marmite". "You're kidding right?" I replied. "I like marmite" he repeated. I thought I was going to puke. I didnt know what to say. "I was just joking!" I lied. "My sister and I sometimes eat it on toast" I lied again. "Oh! okay I thought you genuinely didnt like it!" Tony said. I made an awkward laugh. Then we continued to shop...

“Sam what do you want for lunch?!!”

Sam came runing down the stairs.

“Sam do you want a peanut butter sandwich or a jam sandwich?”said mom.

“No” he said, “I like marmite!!!!!!!!”

“Sam do not shout at me.”

“Why?” said Sam.

“Do not be smart with me...you are grounded...go to bed.”

“Fine!!!!!”.

Tossing and turning in his sleep, Sam was having a dream or maybe a nightmare.

In the nightmare he was devouring a crunchy craker smothered in marmite but it felt like something was crawling in his mouth. He looked down and realsied that it was not marmite at all...it was millions of mites milling around his mouth.

Sam quickly woke up and realised a peanut butter sandwich seemed like a great idea after all!

Lucy couldn't believe her eyes. Normally sacrecrows don't move but this one did just that. Her pounding heart nearly burst out of her chest. She ran like a cheetah all the way home. Her mother heard the panting and turned around.

“Mum...I just saw...a scarecrow...moving.”

“Lucy, what are you talking about?”

“It's true Mum. You can come see it yourself.”

Lucy brought her mum to where the scarecrow had been. But, he had vanished and all that was there was a note.

Dear Lucy,

I hope I didn't frighten you. I just wanted to see if you were different to the others. It makes me sad that everyone runs away because they're scared of me. I hope I will see you again and we can talk. Then you will see that I am friendly.

“Did you hear of the scarecrow that doesn’t do his job?” said my friend Ben. 

“What scarecrow?” I replied. 

“I’ll show you.” Ben said. “Follow me.”

 Ben led me to a garden with lots of flowers, bushes, trees and in the middle of the garden stood a scarecrow covered in all types of birds. There were robins, crows, seagulls EVEN PARROTS AND TOUCANS!!! It was a bird haven.

“And look at this.” Ben said as he waved his hands to scare the birds away. “It’s made of STONE!!!

“What!?” I said confused. 

“The worst Scarecrow EVER.” Said Ben. 

“It’s anything but a scarecrow.” I said laughing. 

Suddenly a giant eagle swooped down and scared the life out of us. The two boys ran out of the garden screaming their heads off. Mr. Scarecrow is not a scarecrow he’s a scare-kid!

THE SCARECROW

 I live on the southside of Nortons-ville with my mum, my dad and my 56 siblings. Our favourite spot in the whole world is the rose garden, which has an amazing statue of what looks like a scarecrow.

That “scarecrow” was a very nice but peculiar man. He’s peculiar because he did many things strangely like: put milk before cereal, walked his fish, and most importantly acted like a scarecrow! Sadly he died at 73 in a farm field because crows pecked at him so much he passed away, just like a scarecrow! And that man was my great-great-grandpa!

Time to Escape

Time to Escape

“Yo, ya! Freeze!” 

Why did I have to steal lettuces from a wizard? What was I thinking? Now I was frozen in marble. The only way I can be freed is if bird poo from the Orange – Bellied Cuckoo lands on my nose. “Oh, great.”

Meanwhile, across town, a rare bird collector, Sir Falcon Nest, was examining his treasured birds. “It’s now or never” thought the only Orange – Bellied Cuckoo in the country. “Time to escape”. He flies out the open window over the wizard’s garden. Looking for a good place to rest, he sees the statue and perches on its nose. “Ahh”…

“Freedom” I shout as I run out of the garden. “Eugh” I wondered, “what’s that on my nose?”

“I was driving in my street cleaner.

Please pardon me! Please!”. “Fine, I won’t fire you but you have to be punished.” he explained with calm words, “So what I’m going to do is this. You have to substitute the statue and you will also be demoted”. I was enraptured to grasp the information that I would not be fired! I thanked him and left his office.

It all started on Friday. It was scary. I was going home and then a portal

opened with monsters and zombies and vines that wanted to kill us. I

needed to find my friends and my family. I was sure that my parents (Damo

and Aoife) were at home but I needed to find my sister Emilie and my

friends Caoillinn, Hugh, Aoibhín.

“CAOILLINN” I shouted, “where are the others”.

“I don’t know” Caoillinn said. 

“I’m going to find them” I said.

(Saturday) I finally get home after getting stuck in a trap that my parents

had set up. They came to see what they caught in the trap and realised it

was me!

(Sunday)I woke up thinking it was all a bad dream or good if you think

about it, but it wasn’t. We found out it was Mr Scarecrow who unlocked the

The witch had had enough of seeing this, and flew down and told him she was going to turn him into stone unless he learned to be nice to the animals. He laughed so she did her magic and he became a stone man and has always been till this day.

Oisín strolled through the garden. The sun pierced his eyes. He saw the scarecrow ahead.  Imposing, like it was holding court over the garden.  Weeds grew around its feet; its arms were outstretched and its head bowed.  The light changed as he got closer, clouds covered the once clear sky.  A small robin which was sitting on the scarecrows shoulder flew away suddenly.  Oisín walked on, a little more quickly now.  The sky rumbled and Oisín focused on getting to the gate ahead.  He heard an unsettling grinding sound.  Was someone following him?  He turned nervously; the scarecrow was gone....

“Ooh what type?” said Lizzy. 

“I don’t know someone left them at my doorstep” said Joanne. 

“How generous!” said Millie, 

“I’ll get more soda I’ll be back in a tic” said Joanne. While she was gone Millie and Lizzy saw the plants starting to grow bigger and bigger. They could not believe their eyes. The two plants in front of them were as tall as they were. They were two colours, red and orange. 

The orange one spoke first “we will rule the world “, while the red plant started hissing some weird gas that made the girls shrink.

Bang, ​what was that. I looked around to see what was the big bang. I looked under my bed to see three aliens, one was orange and the other two were green. I screamed and screeched.They were all so scary. I came very close to them. The orange one spoke first,then the two others spoke.They all said the same thing ”leave us alone”. What will I do? I saw a hurley on my bedroom floor. I started hitting the three of them with the hurley. Then the orange one hit me. It didn’t hurt, then I realised it was just a dream. I was so relieved that it was all just a dream.

“Everybody, quiet and we won’t get picked.” But oh no! The orange one spoke first. It was Kevin. He felt a big hand pick him up and as he was put in a basket, tears rolled down his face.

The orange one spoke first. “Alarm code: 107892.” The blue one spoke next. “Safe code: 102231.”

The evil scientist Dr. Mad had left a fish tank with two robotic fish on the doorstep of Happy Larry’s bank. Happy Larry was very pleased with the ‘gift’ and he placed it on the bank’s counter. 

Dr. Mad’s midnight plan was in action! He used his ‘door sucker 3000’ to open the bank door. He typed in the alarm code his fish had recorded and ran to the safe. But, as he typed the code, Happy Larry appeared out of nowhere and shouted “hello” at the top of his voice, which made him type in the wrong number! 

The alarm blared - see you in jail, Dr. Mad!
