Going to School

My mother got me ready for school then I had to wait for her to brush my hair and place every strand

in just the perfect position.

I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the night before and my school bag had to be neatly put on my shoulder before I could

get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied, would I be allowed to rush out of the front door.

I would leave home at 7 am on the dot and make my way down the lane. After a walk of about 700 metres I would be able to see the tall steeple of the

school.

The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the yard and get into a good game of football before the bell

ringing.

Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow.

One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows.
The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that there were lots of meats left after.

However the bear did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could not even taste the meat. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's work.

The bear was the father of five children. Fortunately, the youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house.When he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal.
