An Unforgettable Incident

I was having a difficult time making up my

mind. I looked around me. No one was looking. I

decided to take the small parcel lying on the

ground. Suddenly, a man grabbed my arm. I

turned around and saw a man whose face was full

of pock marks. He was looking at me with eyes as

red as burning coals. He began to ask me why I

had picked up the parcel.

I answered in a tremulous voice. The man

snatched the parcel from my hands. I was about to

walk off when I was stopped by a police officer.

The police officer asked me if I had seen a parcel. I

replied, “A man whose face is full of pock marks

had taken it.” The police officer immediately asked

me where the man had gone. I pointed to him the

direction. He immediately ran towards the

direction.

I went home and told my parents about the

incident. Suddenly, the telephone rang. I

answered it and I was shocked that the police

asked me to go to the police station. He wanted

me to make an identification of the man I met at

the park that day.

When I reached the station, I was taken to a

room. After identifying the man, I was asked to

wait outside the room. Through a glass panel, I

could see a group of bomb experts examining the

box I picked up earlier. I was shocked to learn

from one of the police officers that the box was

actually a time-bomb. However, I was relieved to

learn that the bomb experts had managed to

disengage the bomb.

When I got home, I related the whole story to

my parents. We heaved a sigh of relief.

A Frightening Experienc3

It was around 10pm that night. I had spent

the whole day completing my project work at my

friend’s place. My friend had given me directions

to the MRT station earlier. However, I soon

realised that I had lost my way. Luckily, I spotted a

bus stop. I went to the bus stop to wait for the bus

to arrive.

I was frightened as I was alone. Suddenly, I

felt a strong gust of wind brushing against my face.

I waited for what seemed like a long time but the

bus did not arrive. The wind became stronger and

stronger. As I looked around, the trees seemed to

look like monsters! A sudden shiver ran down my

spine. Luck was on my side! I saw a car coming

my way. I waved my hands frantically at the

driver. As the car stopped near me, I could see a

man and a woman in it. I told them why I was

there and asked them if they could drive me home.

Feeling sorry for me, they agreed.

Soon, I was home. I thanked the couple for

their help. I was relieved that I had reached home

safely. My mother’s eyes were all red as tears

rolled down her cheeks. She hugged me and

asked me what had happened to me as I had come

home late. I told her the whole incident. From that

day onwards, I promised not to stay out too late.

A Hiking Trip

The sun shone its blazing rays on us. It was a

fine day. Jax and I decided to go hiking. We told

Jax’s father the location of our hiking area and told

him to pick us up at around 7 p.m.

Our new hiking area was close to a

magnificent and majestic waterfall and a dense

forest. The waterfall punctured the serenity of the

surrounding. We stopped for a while for lunch.

Then we continued our journey.

Little did we realise that it was getting dark.

After hiking for some time, I needed to ease myself

urgently. I went into the dense forest to relief

myself. I tried to trace my steps out of the forest.

I soon realised that I was lost. I could not find Jax.

I inched my way through the dense forest as the

sky darkened and the strong wind blew. I

quickened my pace as I tried to find my way out of

the forest.

After about two hours, I reached the deserted

road. I was yearning for the comforts of my home

when I saw a vehicle moving towards me. I waved

hysterically at the driver. The vehicle stopped

before me. The driver looked familiar to me. It

was Jax’s father! To my surprise, Jax was sitting on

the backseat! They explained to me that they had

tried looking for me but in vain. They decided to

drive by one more time before alerting the

authorities. I felt relieved that they had found me.

Jax’s father drove me home that night. I

decided that the incident should not deter my love

for hiking!

A Shoplift

It was a hot and sultry afternoon. James was

very thirsty after a tiring game of football. He

checked his wallet to find only ten cents. He was

angry to have spent his money on wrestling cards.

As he was walking towards the provision shop to

see what ten cents could buy, an idea struck him.

He tiptoed to the stands where the drinks were

kept while dodging the glances of curious people.

He quickly grabbed an orange drink and ran as fast

as his skinny legs could carry him.

“Help! Help! Somebody catch that thief!”

shouted the angry shopkeeper. Lucky for him, a

policeman was on patrol at that area. He quickly

gave chase upon listening to the helpless cries of

the shopkeeper.

Thinking that he was safe, James started to

drink the orange juice to quench his thirst as he sat

down by the pavement. The policeman saw him

and quietly approached James from behind. He

held James by the collar. James turned to look at

him. There was a surprised look on the

policeman’s face. He said, “I know you! You’re

James! You’re Mr Lim’s son.” As it turned out, the

policeman was James’ neighbour.

James explained to the policeman why he had

shoplifted the item. The policeman advised James

against doing such thing again. James went back

to the shopkeeper and promised to him, in front of

the policeman, that he would come back the next

to pay for the drink. James felt sorry.

A Shoplift

It was a bright and sunny day. David had just

finished playing soccer with his friends. He was

exhausted and thirsty. So, he decided to quench

his thirst by taking a bottle of Pepsi from his

father’s minimart at the void deck.

David’s father had always told him not to take

any items in the minimart without telling him.

However, David would never obey his father. He

made a quick dash into the minimart. A mixture of

fear and excitement gripped him. David stretched

out his hand and grabbed a bottle of Pepsi. Then,

he ran as fast his legs could carry him. The other

shoppers stared at him, some with their mouths

agape. To make matters worst, a policeman saw

him and began chasing him. Within seconds, the

policeman managed to close the gap between him

and David.

David felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned

and saw the policeman. David trembled like a leaf.

Fortunately, his father was nearby. He explained

to the policeman the situation. The policeman was

surprised. David apologised to both his father and

the policeman for causing such a

misunderstanding.

David was punished by his father. David

promised his father that he would not do such a

thing again.

A Crocodile Attack

Cheryl Sim, P6C

It was a beautiful Sunday. My family and I

were at the beach, relaxing ourselves. My brother

swam in the crystal clear water. My parents were

reading a book. I was using my notebook to chat

with some friends.

Suddenly, we heard someone letting out a

blood curdling scream! Then, we heard someone

shouting, “Run! Crocodile on the loose!”. My

parents quickly packed our things and shouted for

my brother to come out of the water immediately.

When we were approaching our car, we saw a

boy struggling with the crocodile. He was trying to

free himself as his leg was in the crocodile’s

mouth! Upon seeing this, two adults ran to save

him. They kicked the crocodile and used some

thick branches to hit it. My father quickly used his

handphone to call for the police and the

ambulance. They came within minutes. The

policemen used tranquilisers to sedate the

crocodile. They used some large nets to capture it.

In the mean time, the boy was sent to the hospital.

Although we were a little traumatised by the

incident, we were relieved that the crocodile was

captured. We quickly got into our car and drove

home.
