Who Stole The Mango (Freewrite Read Aloud)
Prompt: Mango provided by @mariannewest
There we are. Prompt given and story written and recorded before bedtime, in between reading stories to my son, Robbie. In fact you can hear him in this recording. Should I redo it? I tried, but future takes didn't have the mojo. So I'm going with this, which was my second take.
Story was recorded in one go without any editing.
I hope you enjoy
Script
Who stole the mango
The manager of the hypermarket decides to gather all his staff for an emergency meeting.
“The mango, it is all gone,” said the manager.
“I have rang the police,” he continues. “They will be here soon. If anyone has any information, please let me know.”
His mobile phone starts ringing. He answers it.
“Hello, who is this?”
“I’m ringing about the stolen mango,” said the person on the line. “I know the man you are looking for.”
“Who might that be?” said the store manager.
“Ahmed Pickle. It was Ahmed Pickle.”
The person at the end of the line hangs up and the manager continues to address his staff.
“Ok, does anyone know a person called Ahmed Pickle?”
Everyone is looking blank.
“That's who we are looking for, a man called Ahmed Pickle.”
Then two policemen enter the supermarket.
“Hello sirs,” said the manager. “We are looking for a man called Ahmed Pickle.”
“I think somebody is pulling your leg.” said one of the policeman. “You will find Ahmed Pickle in every supermarket in the country.”
“Stealing mangoes?” asked the manager.
“No, in your special offers section next to Zahra Ginger Paste.” said the policeman.
The next day the policeman receives a call from customs. “We've caught a man and a woman trying to leave the country with a lorry full of mangoes.”
“Don't tell me,” said the policeman. “They're called Ahmed Pickle and Zahra Ginger Paste.”
“Funny you should say that,” said the man from customs.

Thank you. I've been reading stories to my boy for the past few weeks.
I'm making a rule for myself that the stories are read in one go. I started doing the editing thing it just wasn't working.
