Here is a short essay during my earlier days as a Primary Two (8 years old) student at Ngee Ann Primary School . Jane saves a cat It was a Sunday morning. Jane was strolling along a canal. She was on her way to the mall. As she was walking, Jane saw a cat in the canal.  The cat was drowning. When Jane saw the cat drowning, she felt worried that the cat would die.
