Tiger Story

A big tiger escaped from the comunity zoo the other day and wandered into the school grounds. The enourmous gates were open at the time and nobody saw the furry tiger enter. When the bell rang for playtime, all th children went running out to have their break and to eat their dlicious sandwiches. At first, none of the children noticed th tiger, except for on little girl who was sitting talking to her friend.She heard a weard noise behind her and when she turned round she saw the gigantic tiger looking at her, licking his red lips with his tongue because he was thirsty and hungry.The girl wasnt sure what to do and just sat there with her sandwich in her hand. Then she carefully put the sandwich down on the ground so that the tiger could eat it, and slowl got up and walked away. What a brave girl.

20th August

Today I had to go to school even that i didnt wanted to go and I was punished by a teacher because I hadded a fight with another classmate and I didnt obey the teacher when he told me to stop fighting, instead I keep fighting with my partner.When I came home I went to beg some people for money because I wanted to help my parents to buy food and my education.And I only earned five penns from some good people that wanted to help me because they said that I was so poor that they gave me money to buy candy and sweets. Tomorrow I have to go to school again but I dont want to go because I know that I will get punished again and Im going to learned nothing except for how to punish..
