I found a landmine in Sandown Road, it had not exploded as it was jammed in an entry and so couldn’t hit the ground. It was the size of a dustbin and had beautiful green parachute attached to it. Unfortunately I didn’t have my penknife to cut it off. I raced to Rawson Road, to find the Policeman and waited while he finished his phone call. I told him about my discovery and we both went back to investigate. When he realised it was true he told me to clear off.
