Radio made by Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla is rightly considered the grandaddy of Serbian inventors, and it is no stretch to say that this article could be titled ’11 Amazing Things Nikola Tesla Gave The World’. Some of the spotlight must be shone on the other great minds of Serbian history however, so just a few of Tesla’s inventions will be featured here. Rest assured, there is a lot more where this comes from.

THE KING DRAGON IS NOT AS BIG AS Indigo BUT HE WISHES HE WAS AS BIG AND AS STRONG MAYBE EVEN BIGGER THAN Indigo.
As he was day dreaming his door maid came and interrupted and said
“MASTER I MEAN YOUR MAjesty Indigo IS AT YOUR DOor” said linda “TALL her I’M IN THE shower and say come back at 12:00 and she can have lunch with me and talk now leave me alone don't disturb me thank you Linder”.
So linder walked to the door and said.
“ so sorry he is in the shower it normally it takes him till lunchtime so maybe you should come
So then Indigo went to her nest and sat down on her bed she was very excited that she forgot what she was going to say but luckily she wrote it on a piece paper to remember.
At 12:00
Indigo went back to the cave and knocked on the door to see if he was there but as usual he wasn't answering his door when it became 12:04 someone answered the door.
“Hi im here for the king he wanted to talk for a while”said indigo
The door man said “ sorry but his Majesty is having a meeting right now you may not came in “
“ ok “ Indigo replied then she turned around then she tured around again and slapped him in the face it made the man very mad he stoodup and he said “you want a fight”
Indigo said “fine meet me at lake Drool at 5:00 to night”
5:00 at night
Indigo was waiting there for a long time then he finally showed up “ what took you so long” said indigo
I was um um um sleeping in a little bit he said but you said we were going to have a fight and you didn't show up do you still want to have the fight Indigo replied the door man gulped and said yes bring it on
So indigo walked towards him then he ran away.
7:00 in the morning
Someone knocked on Indigo’s door Indigo said who is it “it is his majesty” “hold on a moment” she replied
There was a lot of noise in her house then the house door opened Indigo looked out side and there was a red carpet laid down but no majesty
“ um where is the king” said Indigo
“ oh we have a Queen” said the royal guards
“Who is the royal Queen” said Indigo
The guards laughed and said “you are Indigo”
“Thank you but i cant, why not? because i have a life and family “they and you can live in the castle with you” they replied. The end

My octopus teacher
The ink makes you go very fast like a rocket. This thing has mega power to look after it.
One day a man named Craig decided to go in the water.
Then he found a stack of shells on top of each other, then when a fish came by the stack of shells she pounced on the fish and had it for dinner.
Craig was impressed so he wanted to come every day.
When he found the octopus he pulled out his camera and filmed the sea life.
On the second day Craig visited the octopus and he was really excited for another adventure with the octopus.
It's like he liked the water more than the surface. Craig loves visiting the octopus because he learns a lot from her
One time the octopus was being chased by a pj shark and she hid from it in a hole, but the pj shark sensed her and attacked her and bit one of her tentacles off.

my speech
Hi my name is Bella.
Why pets are so important to my family.
Pets are a very important to me and my family because they give me company and love,they keep you calm they clean up after you, they catch pests and they can help us.
I must say that Pets are important because they keep you calm. We have a pet dog cald Patch he keeps us calm by playing with us and a nather thing is he seems calm.
Pets are important because they look after you they give you love and company. My dog patch sleeps with me all the time patch and he pots his headon my lap and liked my elbow .
They help us like guide dogs.
Canines have a positive psychological effect making their owners feel more confident and secure. Blind people with guide dogs are better equipped to set out into the world with their trusted friend.
And they clean up after you and eat scraps- grose.
And a most important thing is that they catch pests. But not all pets catch pests.
Some dogs have heaps of love with you so you should have more courage in your pet.
Because they might seem small but there more then you think they’re Incredible. pets like dogs, cats, fish, rabbit, turtles, parrot, hamsters, mice, horses, pigs, goats, budgies and lambs have ther one reason why there Important .
Now I wont to show you what me and my dog do at home. This is patch my dog Patch and I play tag and usually im always in.
I love patch he is like my brother.
Patch lies in my bedroom when I am in there I dont care about it im just a nice girl named Bella im so lucky to have a dog.
Hear is a story when patch was a little Puppy.
We where looking for a dog we went to a place
With a lot of Dalmation dogs like the movie101 dalmations
There was one girl dog named Princes
And there was patch and Batman, Superman ther mums namen is Bella like my name im not joking it is true. There was one girl and three boys.
We where looking for a dog then patch came up to us that made me very happy.
Pets are so important to my family.
Thank you for listening to my Speech .
