The Unexcepted

-
I walked gently to the basement door as I heard a curious cry. I was in my uncle’s house for the summer vacation. I carefully placed my hand on the door knob and opened it. I heard something hissing and  I was so frightened, “Could it be a snake?” I thought to myself. I felt like running away but I was too curious to give up.
 I was as curious as a kitten. I took a step closer and it jumped out of the box. I quickly hopped backwards and closed my eyes, then I felt it spit on my leg. Finally, I decided to open my eyes and I saw a small creature. It was furry and white then when I knew it would not attack. I took two steps closer and realized it was a cat. I was scared of cats but I noticed this was too small and cute to be harmful. I felt pity for the it and I gently took it into my arms. It was a new born kitten. I guessed it was hunger so I went to the kitchen, got some milk and fed it. I quietly took it to my room and made a bed for it. It fell asleep immediately I placed it there.
When my uncle came, I told him of my unexpected visitor. He listened to my encounter and also fell in love with it. I asked if I could keep it. He thought for awhile but agreed when he saw the cute and innocent kitten. He looked at it and declared it was a female, I was so happy. I named her snow and cared so much for her.

I was so happy I found a new friend and partner, my unexpected gift.

RECESS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ONE HOUR

“Yeah it’s time for recess!” shouted Jake and it was time to outside. The class perfect spent ten minutes arranging the line and she shouted “Oh come on, this break time is only thirty minutes!” She managed to arrange us and they went down stairs. When they got there, the Hummingbirds were already there and did not allow the us to play. By the time they finish playing, it was break over. We were sad. In my opinion, I believe break time should be extended to one hour.                My first point is, we need to make new friends and  we need more time to allow us to make new friends. Also, your cousin can be in the same school and you won’t even know, imagine that! I strongly believe we need more recess time.                  Next, it enables us to explore nature. We need more break time because exploring nature is good. You can see the plants around the school and learn from them. Also see creatures that people thought were extinct.                Finally, when we spend time a…

THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER

It was a boring afternoon with my sisters and I on the couch. Our parents had gone to work and weren’t coming home until tomorrow and there was nothing for us to do. The phones were down and the thunderstorm last night had smashed the Dstv dish.
Suddenly, Stella my younger sister came up with an idea! ‘‘Why don’t we go on an adventure into the valley’’ Without even thinking about it I concluded it was a good idea. We all sprang up from the couch and raced to our various rooms. I put on a yellow T-shirt with animal paw prints all over it. I got my adventure bag and packed all the resources I needed. When I got downstairs, I noticed my sisters had copied my outfit and even the adventure bag. Too excited to get mad I overlooked their ‘offence’ and shouted “LET’S GO!” We reached the valley, it was such an amazing sight that I couldn’t just believe it. The valley had deep holes with water which served as a pond for amphibians. As we ventured on, we saw exquisite things - there were rainbow-colo…
