My name's David. One day I was walking home when I saw a fire in the downstairs window of a very big house. I went to the (1) front door and shouted loudly but nobody came. There was a telephone in the street near the house so I phoned and told someone about the fire. After about five minutes a fire engine with blue lights on the top came round the (2) corner . It was very exciting! Firemen were running everywhere, throwing water on the fire and then, suddenly, everything was all right again. I went into the house with the firemen. The kitchen was badly burnt and it (3) smelt terrible but the other rooms in the house were fine. Then this man arrived. I knew him! He was a famous footballer but he was also the man who lived in the big house. He (4) thanked me very much and asked me for my name and address. Then, two days later, a letter arrived for me. Inside the (5) envelope there were two tickets to see my favourite team play! How good was that?
Bill Prince-Smith was a farmer and a teacher and a dentist before he became a writer of children's books at age of 60. Now, thirteen years later, he has written more than 80 books. Every day, he goes into his office and writes. In the evening, he gives the work to his wife to read. "She tells me when she doesn't like something,"says Bill. "My ten grandchildren don't live near here but they also read my stories and say if they are good or bad". And so Bill has learned what young children want to read.
Bill writes about the life in his village and on the farms near it. His fifth book is his favourite: The Sheepdog is about a farmer and the dog that helps him. "I have always liked animals" says Bill, "and dogs are so clever, they learn very quickly."
Last year, the book was made into a film with real animals and actors. The film-makers used the latest computer technology to make people think that the animals are speaking. Bill was very pleased with the film. "Sometimes film- makers change books, but they didn't change mine and I love the film.
