A Visit to the Singapore Zoo - an essay by Elijah Wee 9-MAY 2010

Sally and I went to the zoo yesterday. We say many animals in the zoo. There were a lion, a zebra, a tiger and a horse. We also watched a show. We had a fun day at the zoo. I wish I can go there again.

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.

All of us must have shared the same thoughts, for everyone seemed to look at him in utter disgust. From that day onwards, we made an “oath” - never to befriend him.

Why do our teachers have to give us so much homework these days?” lamented Jason as he trudged home with heavy footsteps on the pavement. His schoolbag weighed like a ton of bricks. Jason felt that sooner or later he would collapse because of the heavy weight! Jason’s face was as glum as an oyster and he was not in the best of moods. However, Jason’s mood was soon destined to be changed. At that juncture, from the corner of his deep-set eyes, Jason spotted an old man hobbling past him. He was a tall shrivelled person who looked as though all body juices had been dried out of him long ago in a hot oven. On his feet, he wore worn-out leather ...
