The story you’ll hear in this episode is titled Derek and Sammy's Adventures. It takes you from Tullow to Milan and even into the sky, all thanks to a lottery ticket. A ticket that passes from hand to hand, between dogs, roommates, and fishermen... Derek and Sammy, brothers by chance, end up in jail and from there, it’s a whirlwind of escapes, disguises, chases, and unexpected twists.
This story was written in Italy by classes 5A and 5B Don Gnocchi, and in Ireland by classes 5th Scoil Phádraig Naofa and 4th Stanhope.
