Forgetful Aunt Mary and her cat Tom - Primary Three Essay for 9 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore


ha ha ... here's a short essay on how forgetful Aunt Mary was with her cat Tom - enjoy ~




After a hearty lunch, Aunt Mary was on tenterhooks. She was seated in her living room packing the balls of yearn into her leather box.  She had made an appointment with her friend and she was late!

Unexpectedly, Aunt Mary felt a sharp pang of pain coming from her tummy. Aunt Mary left the box open and rushed to the toilet. Aunt Mary’s cat, Tom, had never seen such vivid colours of yarn. Tom jumped into the box with sheer delight to explore further. The balls of yarn around him felt soft against his body. Tom snuggled comfortably onto the yarn and soon was in deep slumber.

When Aunt Mary came out from the toilet, she shot a quick glance at the clock. Aunt Mary was very late this time! Closing the box, she left her home hastily in the direction of her friend’s house.

The sun sank down in the sky of brilliant rose-pink and orange as Aunt Mary returned home. Just as Aunt Mary stepped into her house, she was appalled by a rude awakening. She called out to her favourite cat anxiously, “Tom, I’m home.  Where are you?” Panic-stricken, she searched for her cat. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Tom. She was about to give up searching when she stumbled upon the leather box in the living room moving back and forth. Without hesitation, Aunt Mary opened the box.

Aunt Mary heaved a sigh of relief when she saw two familiar eyes looking in her direction. As she coaxed Tom out of the box, she muttered to herself, “How careless I have been?” She thought that she should have checked if Tom was alright before leaving the house as well.

I have been reprimanded by my dad for being rather forgetful - he always nags at me, saying "blah blah blah, why are you so young and yet so forgetful, blah blah blah ... " ;-P

Stuck in the lift | Short essay, story for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"Stuck in the lift" - an experience I am sure a number of you may be able to relate to ... but in this particular case though, it was a little worse than the usual one ...              Brave.             I had always thought I was brave. As brave as a lion. Not fearful of anything.             Until the lift had broken down.             I was waiting patiently for the lift doors to open. A mother and her daughter waited patiently. The mother, clad in a light blue dress made of best quality material, clutched her daughter’s hand. Her lustrous blond hair cascaded down her well-toned shoulders. My innermost thoughts were soon jolted by the familiar mechanical sound of the lift’s doors opening. If only I had reconsidered taking the stairs … ...

Another one from the old collection of my Primary Two (8 years old) essays. I did this one at home. Fishing Trip It was a hot and blistering day .   Tom and his father decided to go to the river to fish.   It was Tom’s first fishing trip and he didn’t want to miss it.

After half an hour, Tom felt a strong tug from his fishing line.   Tom quickly pulled out his fishing rod out.   The fish that he caught was struggling to get out.   Tom also struggled to pull the fish out of the water.   When he finally managed to pull it out, he took a look at it and found out it was an enormous fish.   Tom felt excited about this first catch.
