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 …             Accompanied by the monotonous whirring sounds of the lift’s mechanical system, we were each absorbed in our thoughts as we looked on at the ascending numbers flashing in sequence on the lift display. Bump!

An Act of Bravery | Essay for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"An act of bravery"  was an essay I wrote and was featured recently :-) Hope you like it.             Davin’s act of bravery was certainly admirable.             “Class, this is the new student, Davin Chang. Please welcome him as our new addition!” Mrs Phua, our teacher, informed everyone in her usual chirpy voice. Shooting a look at him, I instantly made a silent decision never to befriend him. Davin was as skinny as a twig and looked shy. What’s more, his school uniform was as old as the hill, indicating that he was probably living in extreme poverty. 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. After all, why bother befriending Davin when he was poor and looked like a rodent?             I should have remembered back then not to judge a book by its cover.             Excitement bubbled in pupils like soda water as they dashed off towards

An act of kindness | Essay for Primary School kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

" An act of kindness" , a essay I wrote earlier in Primary 4 (10 years old) ...           School was over.          “Mountains and mountains of homework! 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 shoes, which looked as though they had been patched up a million times. The old man had scanty white hair, a wrinkly face which was as pale as death. He u
