The Killer Litter Incident | essay for 9 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

I am back now with an essay I wrote about "The Killer Litter Incident" during my Primary Three (i.e. 9 year old) days in Ngee Ann Primary School.

“Goodbye, I will see you tomorrow!” Tom shouted as he waved farewell to his friend. It was a sweltering hot afternoon and all Tom wanted to do was to have a cold shower. With the image of cold water beating his back, Tom took to his heels and made his way.

On his way home, Tom noticed a man on the fourth storey. His face was a red mask of fury because he wanted some money from his wife to buy beer but his wife refused to give it to him. The man had an angry expression on his face. Tom saw him carrying a television set. With an ear-piercing scream, the man threw the television set out the window. Just then, an unsuspecting woman was walking by.  Tom tried to warn the woman but it was too late.

The television set sailed through the air and hit the woman on the head. The woman fainted and blood gushed out from her head. Without hesitation, Tom made a beeline to the nearest telephone booth and called the police and the ambulance. He also informed the police what had happened.

Within minutes, the police and the ambulance arrived. The paramedics gingerly placed the woman onto a stretcher before she was whizzed off to the Singapore General Hospital. The police then proceeded to cordon off the area. After asking Tom what he had witnessed, they went up to the fourth floor and arrested the man. After that incident, shards of broken glass and blood stains could be seen around the area.

 Any experiences or close shaves to share on your part on killer litter?

 Till the next time,
Elijah Wee

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...
