What if...? Cristy Zinn, Mary-Anne Hampton, Julie Smith-Belton
Nandi sat on
the blue steps of her house.
She was wondering...
What if jelly beans made you jump really high?
You could get to school in one big leap!
What if goats and chickens could talk?
Would they tell good jokes?
What if houses were rocket ships?
Your family could go on holidays
to the moon!
What if no one had to cook?
What if supper just arrived on the table? (And it was always your favourite.)
What if ice-lollies never melted?
They could last all summer.
What if the
pictures in
books flew
around your
head when
Dad read to
you?
What if my pink gumboots were magical? I could run faster than my big brother!
What if you squeezed
your eyes shut and...
“Nandi, what are you doing?”
asked Nandi’s big brother.
Nandi sat back on the step with a
big smile on her face.
“Just wondering,” she said.

# While the Billy Boils/An Echo from the Old Bark School

First Published: Bulletin.
AN ECHO FROM THE OLD BARK SCHOOL
It was the first Monday after the holidays. The children had taken their seats in the Old Bark School, and the master called out the roll as usual:―
| 'Arvie Aspinall.' . . . | ''Es, sir.' |
| 'David Cooper.' . . . | 'Yes, sir.' |
| 'John Heegard.' . . . | 'Yezzer.' |
| 'Joseph Swallow.' . . . | 'Yesser.' |
| 'James Bullock.' . . . | 'Present.' |
| 'Frederick Swallow.' . . . | 'Y'sir.' |
| 'James Nowlett.' . . . | (Chorus of 'Absent.') |
| 'William Atkins.' . . . | (Chorus of 'Absent.') |
| 'Daniel Lyons.' . . . | 'Perresent, sor-r-r.' |
Dan was a young immigrant, just out from the sod, and rolled his 'r's' like a cock-dove. His brogue was rich enough to make an Irishman laugh.
Bill was 'wagging it.' His own especial chum was of the opinion that Bill was sick. The master's opinion did not coincide, so he penned a note to William's parents, to be delivered, by the model boy of the school.
| 'Bertha Lambert.' · · | 'Yes, 'air.' |
| 'May Carey.' . . . | 'Pesin', sair.' |
| 'Rose Cooper.' . . . | 'Yes, sir.' |
| 'Janet Wild.' . . . | 'Y-y-yes, s-sir.' |
| 'Mary Wild.' . . . | |
​A solemn hush fell upon the school, and presently Janet Wild threw her arms out on the desk before her, let her face fall on them, and sobbed heart-brokenly. The master saw his mistake too late; he gave his head a little half-affirmative, half-negative movement, in that pathetic old way of his; rested his head on one hand, gazed sadly at the name, and sighed.
But the galoot of the school spoilt the pathos of it all, for, during the awed silence which followed the calling of the girl's name, he suddenly brightened up―the first time he was ever observed to do so during school hours―and said, briskly and cheerfully:
'Dead-sir!'
He hadn't been able to answer a question correctly for several days.
'Children,' said the master gravely and sadly, 'children, this is the first time I ever had to put 'D' to the name of one of my scholars. Poor Mary! she was one of my first pupils―came the first morning the school was opened. Children, I want you to be a little quieter to-day during play-hour, out of respect for the name of your dead schoolmate whom it has pleased the Almighty to take in her youth.'
'Please, sir,' asked the galoot, evidently encouraged by his fancied success, 'please, sir, what does 'D' stand for?'
'Damn you for a hass!' snarled Jim Bullock between his teeth, giving the galoot a vicious dig in the side with his elbow.

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.
In the absence of the author, who is now resident in Western Australia, it devolves upon us to make the customary acknowledgments to the various journals from which these stories are reprinted. Most of them first appeared in the Sydney Bulletin, a number of them in the Sydney Worker, and others in the New Zealand Mail, the New Zealand Times, Sydney Truth, the Brisbane Boomerang, the Maryborough Patriot, and The Antipodean, while two are now published for the first time.
We might rightly be deemed ungrateful did we not take this opportunity of thanking the Press of Australia and New Zealand for the aid they have given us in our effort to publish here, and in a presentable form, the works of some of our living writers. Especially are our thanks due to the proprietors of the Sydney Bulletin who have in many ways assisted us.
