    Discovery of New Pets
    It was a cold, foggy morning. Though we had school and had to wake up early, we were reluctant to do so. We just wanted to be inside our blankets and enjoy hot breakfast in bed but these were just thoughts because we knew it was not possible in reality. We had to go to school and did not have a choice. We looked at Snoopy, our dear dog, he was enjoying being lazy. He had the chance to enjoy the foggy morning. Mom had given him his breakfast and he was relishing it and we were jealous of him. Suddenly, Snoopy was alert as if he had heard something. We are wondering over his actions. He left his breakfast half-eaten and started barking loudly. He started running here and there and sniffing around. Just then, our father entered, Snoopy went to him and forced him to go towards the storehouse without wasting any time, dad went to the store along with snoopy. We were getting late for the school. So we left the house in a dilemma. When Snoopy and dad opened the door, everybody was astonished. As there were no thieves but a cat with her kittens who has come to take shelter in such cold weather. Mom and Dad provided them milk and some tattered woolens to prevent them from the cold. When we reached home, we were happy to see the cute kittens. We, now have them as pets and we all enjoy playing with them.

    Close Brush with Death
    It was my summer vacations and I had finally realised my one wish-to learn swimming. Vacations are meant to learn new things and activities. So, I opted for swimming and joined the morning batch of 7-9 am in the Lion?s Club near my house. I started going there and made a few friends and enjoyed swimming with them. My coach was also very professional and good at teaching us. I learnt the basics quickly and some more styles like butterfly, stroke, back stroke, etc. My parents also appreciated me because I was becoming more active and physically fit. I was thoroughly enjoying my hobby with my studies. But one day, my swimming class became a nightmare for me. As I was not fully trained, I would not go near the deeper side of the pool. My friends teased me by saying that I was a coward and afraid of doing adventurous things. I became restless and decided to Jump into the deep end of the pool, though it was not permitted but when I jumped inside, I started gasping for breath. I started seeing stars for now, I was drowning. Suddenly, I felt somebody pull my hands. By the time, I came out, I was tired. I saw the instructor, my friends and my parents. Everyone was trying to talk to me. I said that I was fine. My instructor scolded me as well as my friends. My parents were also angry with me. I apologised and my friends also apologised to me. Everything was sorted out and I continued with my swimming classes.
