 * Here are some of the stories written by our pupils. **




 * The shelter **

My name is Lolly. I live in an animal shelter. I don’t know how I got here because since I remember I have always been here. People didn’t want to take me home because I’m black, and they say that I bring bad luck. But I’m a nice, black cat with green eyes. Life in the shelter isn’t bad. We have something to eat and drink, and sometimes one of the carer plays with us, but everyday I imagine how the outside world looks like waiting for the day when somebody loves me.




 * Ula’s visit **

 Today, as usually, I was sitting in my cage when suddenly the door of the shelter opened slightly. I saw a girl. She was nice and pretty. Then I heard her Mum talking: - Ula I’ll wait here and you go and pick a cat that you like the most. When I heard that I washed myself with my tongue. Then I stood next to the door of my cage and I made the nicest face that a cat can make. Ula was walking form one cage to another looking carefully at each of us. I knew it was a hard decision for her. There are a lot of us, sometimes even too many and very often it’s difficult to find a place for every cat. After some time Ula shouted: - Mum, I want this one! She was pointing at me! This moment was a shock for me. I thought I’d faint. I imagined how we played together, how she hugged me… Then suddenly Ula’s Mum said: - But black? Can’t it be white, grey or ginger? - Yes, Mummy I want this one. For me it was eternity when I finally heard her Mum saying: - Ok Ula. It can be black. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I was so happy that I jumped up. I couldn’t believe that I’d have my own lady. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">In the shelter we have common carers and there are so many of us that they can’t give us as much time as we want. Every cat here dreams about fawning to somebody’s leg. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Our carer took me out of my cage and said: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">- Ula this is Lolly. You made a good choice since he’s a nice cat. You’ll be friends for sure.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Ula thanked and put me into a wicker basket. Finally, we set off for a common adventure. I knew that since today we’d always be together. We were going by car and I couldn’t wait the moment we got to the spot. The journey dragged a lot as I was so curious about the outside world. Our car stopped and we got off. We stood outside Ula’s family house. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">The house was beautiful and had a big garden. I was happy when I saw it because as every cat I like climbing a tree.



<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Trip to the forest

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I really enjoyed the stay at Ula’s house. I felt like at home, soon I found out that I'm her and her whole family favorite cuddly mascot. Today, me and my friends went on a trip to the forest. On-site it turned out to be that the forest looks like a garden, but trees are a bit different and there are many more of them. Running through the forest I saw a butterfly, it was flying every now and then sitting on flowers. Intrigued I started going after him. Suddenly I stopped, looked around and found out that I was completely alone. Forest all around and no trace of my lady. I was terribly upset that I would never see Ula again. I started running trying to find my lady, but to no avail, trees were everywhere. Worried I sat under a tree without hope. Suddenly I heard familiar voice. Lolly where are you? It was Ula looking for me. She was waiting for me with tears in her eyes. She hugged me. I learned the hard way how scary and dangerous a forest for a kitten can be. Remember when you are in the forest don’t go away from the adults, because you can get lost easily.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Playing with the shadow

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I got up early in the morning and stretched myself. It was a beautiful sunny day so I ran out in front of the house. When I was walking along the house I noticed something strange. It seemed to me that someone was following me. I turned round but there was no one behind me. I decided to slip away. As I was running this thing was right after me. I stopped, bristled and made a mean look. This thing did exactly the same but it was bigger and meaner. I started running but after a while I noticed that Ula was standing ,looking at me and laughing. She stroked me and explained that it was a shadow. From that day when it’s sunny I go outdoors to chase my shadow.
