GOOD LUCK!!! LOST! by P Baker Sarah is my friend. We love playing together. We are allowed to play in the park in front of our house. Last Tuesday, Sarah and I met at the park. We played a game of soccer. We saw a small brown puppy, weighing about 1 kilogram, in the road which had no collar and was crying. I think it was hungry. Should we take it home and feed it, Sally? asked Sarah. Yes, I think so, I replied. We walked to the puppy. When it saw us, it ran to the end of the road. We chased after it. As we got closer, it ran away again. This happened a few times, until we realised that we were far from home. It was as plain as day, we were lost!! What should we do? I asked. I don t know. I m afraid, said Sarah. It started to rain and we started to cry. The puppy was gone. We saw a red car driving around the corner. It was my uncle, the Chief Executive Officer of Spar. We ran towards the car. When I opened the car door, I saw a wet little puppy sitting on the back seat. My uncle also had the same idea we had! We got into the car and sat millimetres away from the puppy. 1
