McDonald we had a big mac. After we got our big mac we
went to pak n save and sat down outside of pak n safe and
ate  there. After we finish eating our meal we went in side

When we got our salad I saw my bff Lesieli and told my mum
if I can see her she said yes I was happy that she was
here she was with her mum and they were getting some drinks
Lesieli saw me and we did our handshake.

Then we were talking about swimming she told me if I was swimming I
told her that I am not going swimming when we went
around the biscuit we were trying to do a goodbye handshake.

After we were looking for a goodbye handshake Lesieli mum
called her to help her put the shopping in the counter she had to go i said to her goodbye we did our handshake I was so happy that my
best friend was with me and we had a really inspiring time there


Finally my mum and I went to the shop and got some banana,onions,
