Mr Brainfright says: It’s important to keep a sense of humour at all times, especially when you’re being ripped apart by a lion.

Mr Brainfright is a teacher at Northwest Southeast Central School. He teaches Grade Five and in his class is a student called Henry McThrottle who likes telling stories. That’s me. I’m Henry McThrottle and this is my latest story. It’s about an evil pencil, a runaway lion, an avalanche and falling out of windows. I hope you like it.
