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 … ...

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.
