How cats got their whiskers

One sunny morning, a small ginger cat was walking along the forest path looking for food. There were bright green trees swaying from left to right. Near the heart of the forest was a glimmering pond. There were leaves falling from trees, healthy plants and animals gave life to the quiet, peaceful forest. The air was fresh. Alongside the pond would be, flowers to smell and warm grass to relax in. The sun would break through holes in the trees above. The small ginger cat walked through the forest, to the pond. The cat looked at another cat, who was staring back at him in the water. As he backed away, the other cat disappeared. The ginger cat then lay in the warm grassy bed, thinking, how plain he looked. He suddenly heard a rumble, noticing that it came from his own stomach. The cat left the grass bed and left in search for food. He walked on and on, but then he saw a glimpse of red roses. Thinking that they were raspberry´s, he raced towards it, dodging bushes that were in his way, without thinking twice. He jumped straight into the rose bush. YOUCH! As he came out, thorns were stuck to his cheeks. Three on each side. And that was how the cats got their whiskers.

The School Holidays: Amy´s Birthday Party

On Saturday, it was Amy´s Birthday Party. We were going to Paradise Ice- Skating. I love Ice- skating. We got there early, so we waited, and not that soon, people started arriving. As soon as we were in the party room, we immediately ordered some food, we were as hungry as if we never ate before. While we waited for the food, we each had a slice of Amy´s Birthday cake, which was a rainbow- layered cake, topped with white cream and sprinkles. I felt like I was in heaven after one, small, heavenly-nice bite or so, but then... I was dropped back down to Earth. I swear that my face had turned blueish- green. ¨One more bite won´t hurt,¨ I kept thinking. ¨Just one more...¨ So... I ate and ate ate the whole cake up. NOPE! Totally NOT WHAT I DID! Never Ever, would I try that. Instead I put down my spoon and stared blankly at it. Only a couple people managed to finish their slice, others... Naaa... Everyone was full. But we still had our food coming. (Groan) Everyone had ordered chicken nuggets and chips. When the food came, everyone was still full, but not as much. So... obviously I couldn´t resist the smell of the delicious chicken nuggets. So again, obviously I had to eat it up, I just had to. YUM! I left the chips for later. Of course, now it was ice-skating time. But as soon as I went out of the room, I was as cold as an ice-berg from Antarctica. I wrapped my jumper closer around me, but still I was freezing cold. As I lined up to get my pair of skates, I started getting warmer, but still, I was cold. Very soon, I was on the ice. Whoops! I had totally forgotten how to skate. I skidded around people, just slightly past them. I slowly stood up, and with a little help from the rails...VOILA! I started skating, just like a pro...Obviously Not! But sadly, soon it was 4, Boo Hoo Hoo! Time to go

What if it rained every day of the year?

What if it rained every day of the year?

If it rained every day of the year, it would be a bad thing, because crops need water and sunlight. But if it rains ever day, the crops would be over fed with water and no sunlight, so then we will get no food. And if it rained every day the whole world would be flooding and people won be able to play outside that much, because if you play in the rain for a long period of time you would get a very bad cold, and of course, a great, high fever. Cars/ vehicles would also cause great problems in the rain. If it rained everyday, it possibly means that it is going to rain 24/7. So what I would think, is that if it rained every day in the year it would cause a huge problem, and you wouldn't be able to play outside as much as you usually do.

What if fairy tales were true?

What if fairy tales were true?

If fairy tales were true, it would be sweet but also very dangerous. Because in fairy tale, yes there are prince charmings, gorgeous princesses but also horrible witches cruel stepmothers, ugly stepsisters, poisonous apples etc. That would also mean that there would be some people with magic and some with none.
