Birthday Present
December 31, 2007
Yesterday was Tom’s birthday. Tom’s parent threw a party for Tom’s special day. All of Tom’s friends went to the party and they also brought Tom’s birthday presents. Tom was really happy when he was opening the presents he got. To his surprise, a puppy came out of the box. Tom’s parents knew that their son loved dogs so they gave him what he really wanted.
After the party, Tom named the puppy Mike and took it for a walk with a leash on Mike. They went to the park and Tom unleashed Mike because they were playing Throw and Catch. Suddenly, Tom wanted to go to the bathroom and he left Mike and ran away. When he came back, he found only Mike’s leash without Mike! Tom was really frustrated and trying to find his dog around the park. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find it and went home for his parent’s help. On the way home, Tom thought it was the worst birthday he had.
Things didn’t follow as he thought. To his amazement, he found that Tom was sitting in front of his house and waiting for Tom. Tom smiled. He rushed to Mike, hugged it tightly and said that it was his best birthday and birthday present ever.
Mom’s always right

Karen is an animal-loving girl. She likes to take wild animals back to home because she thinks she can take good care of them. In fact, she just leaves them at home and lets her mother do the jobs. Last year, Karen saw a cute kitty in the playground beside her house. She decided to do the same thing as usual.
When she came back home, her mother said, “Not again …” Karen knew what her mother meant and started to cry. “This time I would not leave it alone, I will…” Her mother gave in and said,”Fine, I won’t do the rest for you anymore.” Karen stopped crying and muttered” It always works!” Karen smiled cunningly. As time went by, Karen didn’t keep her promise. She put the kitty in the basement and never went down there. One day, she finally remembered the kitty when she saw ” Hello Kitty ” on TV. She rushed to the basement, wondering what had happened. When she opened the door, she was shocked. She saw not only her kitty, but also other cats. Karen realized that her kitty brought his family to the basement . They treated the basement like their home. Everything in the basement like the couch, lamp was a mess. At that moment, Karen realized her mother’s words. As a result, Karen put the kitty’s family back to the playground. After the chaos, Karen become a nice girl, and she always followed what her mother said.
