      Zac’s Terrible Idea

      Elizabeth Klein

      Hey, Rem! called Zac. Meet me outside the Robinson’s this arvo. I’ve got an idea.

      Rem groaned as he watched his best friend wave to him from the bus window as it sped off. Zac was always inventing things. Rem was always the one getting hurt. He was certain that Zac’s idea had something to do with that pile of junk outside the Robinson’s house. It was Clean-Up Week and people had been placing their rubbish outside for the Council to pick up all week. One man’s rubbish was Zac’s treasure.

      Rem walked home and dumped his bag in his bedroom.

      I need you to go to the corner store, his mother called from the kitchen.

      All right, he said, but I have to be quick. I’m meeting Zac.

      His mother poked her head around his bedroom door, frowning. She seemed to know about Zac’s ideas even before Rem did.

      Make sure you keep out of trouble. And don’t come home bruised!

      She gave him some money to buy bread and milk. He ran all the way to the corner store and all the way home again. Was Zac already waiting for him at the Robinson’s house? They did have the best pile of junk in the street. Rem was certain Zac’s idea had something to do with it.

      The last time Clean-Up Week was on, Zac had built a go-cart out of old bits of wood, rope and pram wheels. He had found them among the Robinson’s pile of rubbish. Rem had been the official tester of the go-cart. Zac had taken notes on how fast it went.

      Everything had gone smoothly until two yappy dogs appeared from nowhere and began chasing Rem down the hill. Terrified, he had forgotten to steer the go-cart. It went like a rocket and even flew like one too, right into the ditch at the end of the road. He was
