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

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...

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 … ...

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...
