I SAY TO Sissy: whens the earf-rocking going to stop?

She say: they be aftershocks, it be a big-big sixer quake and no one knows when they going to stop.

I say: I can’t be doing no sleeping, I don’t want to be waking up and find me head squished to deaths in a big hole.

I never knowed nuffing liked this, we go shakyshaky-shakyshaky.

I telled the doggy to comed and sit themselfs on me bed. I knowed they be scared, for they hairs be shaking.

I member in this best movie I seed the earf doing its quaking, all the peoples runned rounds and rounds yelling they heads off, then a big hole opened itself up and swallowed all them alls up, somes of them git they heads squished like pancakes and they brains felled out they yells: ahhhhhhh — then they die down dead.

Ooooo, I tell you it be worser than ’orrible, I had to close me eyes when that bit happen …

I wonder if that hole be happening to us?

This earfs be shaking itself on ones and three days.

I wonder to meself whens it going to stop?

Ooooo, there it goes again … shakyshakyshaky!

Me legs start to runs themselfs …

I goes: HELP! HELP! HELP!

Hoppy say I got to stop running outside when the house shakes. I doing a panic and that not good, I git to looked where I going for I knocks peoples over.

That be all right for him to be sayed — I be so scared I don’t knowed what I doing. I sits meself on me bed with the doggy and waits — I waits for the next shakes to comed — I waits for the earf to be opening its big hole — I waits and me head starts its aching — I waits and me head aches itself and me heart misses its ticking.

I says to Sissy: I can’t be taking no mores of this, I don’t want to be died. I can’t takes any more!

Sissy sayed neither can she, for I driving them crazy.

They sents me awayed. Way awayed where the shaking stopped itself. I had meselfs a holidays on a best farm (that where animals live). They be very very niced to me and do good cooking. I like it there, I stay for Mun-day and four and two more days. When it time to take meselfs home, I say to them: fank you for havings me.

They sayed back to me: you welcomed Ronnie, we enjoyed having you to stay (it be nice of them to say that).

When I git meself home the earf still be doing some shakings, it make me heart miss a ticks, but I not scared no more — I a growed up holiday boy.

Sissy git the fings putted back in their cub-boards, the doggies has stopped their shaking. Beckee say: it be nice to seed you again, how your holiday be?

Hoppy taked me out for a drive, he showed me all the building that got themself squished. Me mouth say:
