The Present By Joshua BO

Boom! The car blows up on my video game. I am amazed it looks awesome. But, I also feel sad because I am lonely, it’s only been me and my dad for a long time. I suddenly pause the game to stretch and get a drink. I glance outside at the kids across the street  they look like they’re having a lot of fun.

I slowly turn around and I see something outside. It sort of looks like a box. It doesn't sort of look like a box it is a box. I think Dad’s ordering stuff online again. I decide to go to the lounge room when suddenly I see the box move. I’m probably seeing things I think to myself. As it moves again I think of running. I’m as scared as a 5 year old in the dark. But the box is outside and I'm safe inside. It must be alive. I open the back door and carefully use my crutches to guide myself to the box I grab the box so it can’t move.

I carefully open a little corner and peer in the box. My excitement levels are a thousand out of a hundred. It is something fluffy, it has a long tail and cute little paws. To my surprise a cat jumps out like a frog it is so cute. I can't resist giving it a cuddle. It feels terrific in my arms, I almost lose my balance and fall over with excitement. I still wonder why I’ve found a box sitting outside with a cat in it. Why is it here?

I do everything with my new pet, I still don’t know why it was left outside. Suddenly my dad comes outside. He tells me he ordered the cat. I give him the biggest hug and then I keep on playing with my new cat. It is an awesome day I have so much fun with my cat. It’s as beautiful as a butterfly in spring.   

I feel so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. Outside I see the trees dancing I feed the cat some lamb chops, she chews them up ferociously. After I feed the cat it’s time for bed. My new best friend has made me have excitement in my life again.

I can’t believe this awesome, cute, adorable cat has changed my life. Would it change yours?
