FRIDAY SURPRISE

Bryce passes his swimming test

Illustration by Helen Flook

 

Bryce is fed up.

He's had a test every day this week: four tests already, and it's only Thursday!

On Monday he had a swimming test. He had to swim all the way across the pool. He had to work his arms as hard as windmills, and the water splashed in his eyes. But he made it to the other side.

Then on Tuesday there was another test...

But what sort of test would Bryce really like?
