STICK NEWS
Kia Ora, In Stick News today, a swan in Scotland has died. We bring you this report.
She was just an ordinary swan.
Until she died, and became world famous. CNN, the BBC, Stick News… all over the world the swan’s death is being reported.
Not only are people mourning the loss of such a special swan. They’re also shocked by the way she died.
The Scottish swan died of the H5N1 virus, known as “the bird flu” the virus that is feared may become a pandemic and kill millions of birds and even humans.
The swan’s family, have been inundated by calls from media. They’ve issued a statement requesting people respect their privacy at this difficult time.
And that was Stick News for Friday the 7th April.
Kia Ora.

Lorraine That’s a great idea. I’d love to park.
Marty Huh?
Lorraine Marty, I’m almost 18 years old. It’s not like I’ve never parked before.
Marty What?
Lorraine Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?
Marty No! No! Lorraine, Lorraine, what are you doing?
Lorraine I swiped it from the old lady’s liquor cabinet.
Marty Yeah, well, you shouldn’t drink.
Lorraine Why not?
