Jia Xin's writing




One dark night, a robber sneaked into a magnificant house. He knew that there was a big barrel of gold inside the house. He crept up the steps leading to the house. He tried the door but it was locked. The robber then searched for a window. He spotted one open. The robber climbed in. He saw the big barrel of gold. Just as he was going to take it, a ferocious dog barked at him. The robber got a fright. He quickly escaped. Just as he was climbing out of the window, the dog bit his pants torn. The robber ran as fast as he could back to his house and hid under his bed. He was too scared to go back.



Priya's writing




One dark night, a robber sneaked into a house. Then, he saw a huge big house. So, he crept into the gate. He went to the door but the door was locked. So, he walked around the house then he saw a window. He said, "Ha! ha! I am going to be a rich man!" Sneak, sneak, sneak till he reached the living room. He saw the Barrel of Gold. As he was about to take it, a ferocious dog came and barked loudly at him. He ran as fast as he could. But his panties was torn. He jumped out of the window. Crash!!! He quickly jumped up. Patter, patter, patter he went back to his home. He hid himself under the bed. What a poor man he was!
