Friend story

Friend story

Have you ever been as green as the greenest jealous monster because your friend has a
cool as toy?  I have! My good friend Cooper is so lucky because he has an electric
skateboard. In the holidays when I went to Cooper’s house to play I got to have a turn
at trying to ride it. One go and I was a natural. I've got to get myself one of these.

An electric skateboard looks like a normal skateboard but it has a little electric motor
that makes the wheels go round and the rider has a handheld remote control. The
remote control allows you to make the skateboard go faster or go slower. The electric skateboard
has batteries but you simply plug it in and recharge it like your Chromebook.

I have seen one of our neighbours also has an electric skateboard. Our street has a very smooth
road surface so it is a fantastic place to ride up and down. Our dog August goes psycho when
our neighbour goes passed, she hates the electric skateboard. She also hates the postman and
his electric buggy.  Electronic things seem to be very popular at the moment as there is also the
new electric scooters that you can use an app to rent in Auckland City.

I have been asking my Mama if I can have an electric skateboard. She tells me I'm dreaming. I
hope she's just joking. Otherwise my only option will be Santa. “Dear Santa ,please please please
can I have an electric skateboard for Christmas, I promise to be kind to my sister - honest!” And I
am sure August will get use to it.
