Jasmine

My dog is very sweet,

she's like a nice treat.

I think she is very good,

and she always eats her food.

She's so very black,

and she'd always like a snack.

She's very very pretty,

her eyes are like honey,

and she's worth more than money.

Jasmine is her name,

and she'd always like a game,

She has such lovely looks,

and she loves lying on books.

My dog is very sweet,

she's like a nice treat.

Says so the legend...

Says so the legend

that this has happened....

One Christmas night

a monster roared with all its might.

And the people screamed with fright.

So they told the government

and the government said,

"Why didn't you get out of bed?

And you should have opened the door

and checked what it was

instead of screaming for us.

So be off with you

we have nothing to do."

But one little boy

had got up that night

to see what was the big fright.

He stepped on the floor

and opened the door.

He shone his torch

on the porch

to see what he could see.

He saw a monster as huge as can be.

The monster said, "Come here my boy!

You are like a little toy.

But you are very brave,

I shall take you to my cave.

I speak in a whisper so no one can hear

us sitting over here."

The boy said gladly, "I will come

because I don't have a dad or a mum.

But you don't eat me or

ever beat me."

The monster said, "I promise"

and he gave a little kiss.

And now they are as happy as can be

for one day this the monster told me.

The puppy who wouldn't eat

Once upon a time, a little puppy was bought by a girl named Lucy. She named him Sheik. Sheik was a very sweet doggy who loved everyone, but the only problem was, he ate too slowly. Now that was a problem because if he ate too slowly he would never finish his food.

Lucy tried really hard to make him eat fast, but in vain-nothing happened. One day, Lucy's father got an idea. He went to a pet shop and bought a quite large squeaky toy. He stepped on it and a large "Eeeeee" came but a quite large dip came inside it too!!! So he said "Good, that is big enough for Sheik's food to go in". Then he went home.

When Sheik's dinner time came, Lucy's father put his food in the squeaky toy after stepping on it. Sheik as usual ate slowly. Then a queer thing happened, the hole in the toy started coming up a little and suddenly came up fully and the food splattered all over Sheik's snout and flappy jowls. Everyone burst into laughter. "Woof" said Sheik surprised and annoyed. After this happened for a few days Sheik made up his doggy mind that he would eat so fast that nothing would splatter on his face and jowls. And that's just what he did !!!

THE END

Hark!

Hark! Look at the park,

very pretty in the sun's ray,

Hark! Look at the magnificent lark,

flying over the seaside bay.

Hark! Look at the tree with brown bark,

its leaves shine in the sun of may,

Hark! Look at that mark!

Mum won't be very happy today!

Plaits

Daily my mother makes me put plaits,

which almost makes me go rats!!

Putting oil will make my hair thin!

[I try to explain]

But mother said,

"No darling,putting oil is not a sin."

Soon I knew that I'll not have hair,

and before I knew it ,

my head was bare!!
