Once upon a time, there was a woman whose name was Mrs. Slim. She lived with her husband in a little cottage with pretty flowers around it. Mrs. Slim was plump and clumsy, but her husband, Mr Plump, was slim and graceful.
One day, Mrs. Slim was doing the washing. "Scrub, scrub, scrub," went Mrs. Slim humming a song to herself. She was enjoying herself. But after awhile, Mrs. Slim began to feel sleepy. Soon, "Zzz...Zzz...Zzz.." Mrs. Slim was snoring loudly. She had already fallen asleep! As for the tap. there was water wooshing out of the sink. But poor Mrs. Slim knew nothing about it. Within minutes, the whole village was flooded with water. THe villagers shouted for help. Their shouts woke Mrs. Slim up.
She got up, yawned and stretched her arms. "What is going on?" asked Mrs. Slim, startled with the flood and the people screaming and shouting.
"Oh no! What have you done?" yelled Mr. Plump, reaching into the sink. "I've just gone out for awhile and you've managed to flood the entire village!" said Mr. Plump, almost hysterical.
"Oh fiddlesticks!" said Mrs. Slim.
Once, Mrs. Slim was watering the flowers. "Splish, splash, splosh," went Mrs Slim clumsily. When she finished watering, she saw a dreadful sight. THe flowers were smashed and the fences were flat. "Who did all these things?" muttered Mrs. Slim.
"You did! Clumsy woman! You did! Look what you've done?"shouted Mr. Plump, horrified.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
Another time, Mrs. Slim decided to do some gardening to make up for her clumsiness. After five minutes, Mrs Slim was sweating and panting because of the hot sun. She leaned against her cottage. With a loud CRASH, the cottage tumbled and was crashed to pieces. And for her poor husband, he was caught in the damaged cottage. Mrs. Slim was exasperated. She quickly pulled Mr. Plump out of the heap of pieces. Luckily, he was not badly injured. But, they had no home for shelter.
From that day on, they began to build another cottage which was ten times bigger than their old one. So, Mrs. Slim would not bring the house down again. And for the walls, they were made of solid bricks.
But one day, Mrs Slim accidentally knocked into the wall of her house. And... BANG! The house crased down again!

My Pet
I have a pet name Gubble. She is not a normal pet. She is a goblin. I found her in the ocean, when I was diving. I saw a shark about to eat her. So, I rescued the Goblin from the mean shark.
When I took her home, my neighbours said she was very cute. She was a very good goblin too. But, on the second birthday, she became naughty. She plucked all our flowers in the garden. She also ate up all our fish in the tank. When she was thirsty, she would go to the swimming pool and drink some water. Sometimes she would scare the people swimming in the pool. She often rummaged through the kitchen and made a mess.
One day, my father had an idea to teach her a lesson. My father sent her to military school for three months. After three months, she came back and turned the house into a military house. She made the whole family wake up at five o'clock and run around the neighbourhood. After that, she forced us to march back to our house. After having military breakfast, we had military class. Then we exercise and exercise and exercise some more. We were so extremely tired.
Then, I had an idea. My idea was to send her to Disneyland. After 3 months, she thought she was Tom, from the cartoon Tom and Jerry. So, she started to chase after my sister's hamster. My sister was very cross, so she spanked Gubble. The poor thing. Her bum was terribly red. She jumped up and down screaming, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
That night, my mother warned him, "If you continue to be naughty, I will send you back to the sea and let the shark eat you." From then on, she became good and nice. The End!

My Pet
I have a pet parrot called Googoo. He is a very cute and handsome parrot. I got the parrot from the jungle when I was going camping. While I was looking for some wood, I saw a parrot up in the tree. Then the parrot fell off the nest. He injured his wing.
I took it home and nursed it back to health. My cat chased after Googoo all over the house. Googoo's feathers fell off and became bald. He felt shy and ugly. My family and I saw Googoo and laughed at him.
My brother plucked the feathers from the feather duster and glued them onto Googoo. But Googoo looked like a chicken because the feather duster is made from chicken feathers. Then he started to cluck like a chicken.
Miss Lulu, my neighbour was so silly. She thought Googoo was a chicken and decided to catch Googoo to make chicken soup for dinner. Luckily my mother was able to rescue Googoo. My sister painted Googoo's feathers with colourful paint. Now Googoo looks like a real parrot.
