The Lost Purse | Primary 2 Essay for 8 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Here is a short essay I wrote about the lost purse when I was in Primary 2 (8 years old).
The Lost Purse
One sunny day, Mrs. Lim returned home after spending the entire day out shopping.  After putting away the things she had bought, Mrs. Lim went into her room to take out her belongings from her handbag.  After taking everything out, she discovered to her horror that her purse was missing!  Mrs. Lim was shocked!  She searched everywhere in the house but she still could not find her purse.  Worried, Mrs. Lim decided to go to the police station.

When Mrs. Lim got there, she saw a man with a purse that looked like hers.  “It must be mine,” thought Mrs. Lim.  She quickly told the man it was hers.  The man gave the purse back to her.  Mrs. Lim was so relieved to have found her purse.  She thanked the man profusely for being so honest and wanted to offer him a reward.  The man instead refused the reward and told Mrs. Lim that it was his duty to return things he found.  Mrs. Lim was happy that things have turned out well in the end.

Have you lost any of your precious belongings before? I for one have been muddle-headed and tend to forget where I misplaced my toys, much to my dad's displeasure.

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 … ...

A bad experience with car wash and bird poop | Essay for 9 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Here's one of those funny incidents which could happen to almost anyone these days ;-) "A bad experience with car wash and bird poop" .             “Home sweet home,” Mr Lim muttered as he drove his car into the carpark near his flat. It was a sweltering hot Saturday afternoon. My Lim and his wife, Mrs Lim, were returning from a day of shopping. They were driving around looking for an available parking lot.  Sunlight poured through Mr Lim’s car windows.  The air-conditioner could not cope with the sweltering heat, plus it was extremely challenging for Mr Lim to concentrate in the blazing hot sun.             At that juncture, Mrs Lim spotted an available parking lot under a Flame of the Forest tree.   She gesticulated excitedly , “Honey, why don’t you park your car under that Flame of the Forest tree?   Besides, it would provide shade for the car from the s...

Incident of cheating at the exams (Primary 4 essay for 10 year olds by Elijah Wee, Singapore)

I am particularly proud of this essay I wrote when I was in Primary 4  (10 years old) at Ngee Ann Primary School - received my personal best score for this one, entitled "Incident of cheating at the exams" .     John was a lazy boy. He would always play computer games and watch television. One day, before his English examination, he began to panic as he had not revised for it. John took out his textbook and copied some notes down on the palm of his hand.     The next day, when the English examination had started, their form teacher, Mrs Ong, left the examination hall and the stern-looking Mrs Lim entered. As John was writing on his paper, he encountered a difficult question. No matter how hard he tried to think of the answer, his mind remained a blank state . Just then, an idea brewed in his mind, "Why not copy the answers from the palm of my hand?"     Before copying, John scanned the whole place like a robber on the lookout for men in b...
