SLJ- Fishing False Teeth Comic
Hey everyone, for my next task I have created my very own comic from the video "Teeth". If you don't know or haven't watch this video well go ahead and watch it, it is a really great inspiring and also good video. This is my comic I have made up and I hope you like it. ENJOY!
SLJ-Fishing False Teeth 1
It all began when fishing enthusiast Cor Stoop lost his upper plate when he leaned overboard during a spell of seasickness while sailing on a North Sea charter boat in September.
On Nov. 27, Hugo Slamat, a tac kle shop owner who had organized the charter, found a set of choppers while gutting a 19-pound cod he caught on a fishing excursion. The charter skipper then recalled that Stoop had lost his teeth during the trip in September.
The teeth were eventually given to Stoop at a handover splashed across Dutch media.
But something about the story began to seem fishy.
″They fit all right,″ Stoop told The Associated Press on Friday. ″But I began to have doubts, so I got my dentist to investigate and he told me the top and bottom didn’t go together.″
Then taxi driver Roel Pool, an amateur fisherman and practical joker, revealed what had really happened.
″When we go fishing on the sea we always make jokes. I took the teeth from my wife and put them in the day’s biggest cod,″ Pool said Friday, after the hoax was revealed in the Dutch media.
Slamat found the teeth when he gutted the cod 30 minutes later.
Pool’s wife, Janet, said the couple had a good laugh the night after the practical joke. ″We didn’t realize it was going to get into the papers,″ she said.
Slamat was not amused. He said he has consulted a lawyer about possible legal action and planned to toss the false teeth off an Amsterdam ferry.
Pool said he wasn’t concerned. ″It’s no problem, my wife has another set of teeth.″

Just east of the city, the dark Negro River converges with the brown, muddy Solimões River resulting in a striking visual phenomenon called the “Meeting of the Waters.” The combined tributaries form the Amazon River.

I was so excited to cast my film that my friends and I made. The film is called "A Message From Glen Taylor School".

Good Friendship
This is a piece of writing I would love to share with you guys. This writing is all about Good Friendship, what do you know about Good Friendship?, what do you need in a Good Friendship? Here is my writing and hope you like it!
What do you know about good friendship?
Good Friendship is something everyone has or might not have.
Good Friendship builds happiness, faith, honesty, caring, empathetic
and many more. Good Friendship is hard to find and also it is hard
to forget. So let’s see what Good Friendship is...
Process 1: Loyalty
In a good friendship you have to set and respect each other's boundaries.
A good friend is always someone who is a good listener.
Someone who always cares about giving, not someone who
cares about getting something. Someone who is always putting
other people’s needs before their own and that one good friend
who would always support you and care about you.
Process 2: Positivity
In a good friendship it’s always good to have positivity
around you cause it makes your mind think positive and feel good.
Positive words or quotes help you in a friendship by always having
that mindset to be good to each other, being friendly, helping each
other out, respecting one another, having each other’s back and also
caring for each other.
Process 3: Honesty
A good friendship needs honesty. Honesty is always the best
policy and it may not get you a lot of friends if you are honest
but it will get you the right ones. Without honesty, we won’t be
able to care, support, help, be happy or have a good friendship.
Sometimes in good friendship, honesty may hurt but at least it’s the truth.
Conclusion:
Now you know what Good Friendship is and I know some
people out there might not feel unwanted maybe because
of the way they look or how they are but the most important
thing is to get to know them more cause maybe you guys can
start a good friendship. Remember a good friendship needs
LOYALTY,POSITIVITY & HONESTY!
