Tim, the hero | LEVEL 09



It is Monday morning. Tim and his friends are walking to school. As usual, they play, they tell each other jokes. They have fun and they laugh a lot.

On the way to school, there is a house with a big garden.  They walk past the house gate every day.

One day, while they were walking, Tim stopped suddenly. He had heard a terrifying growl behind him.

He turned pale. He was as white as paper. He turned around very slowly. To his biggest surprise, he saw a huge and terrifying dog. The dog was behind the gate, but it was terrifying nonetheless.  He and his friends started running without looking back. 

On the next street corner Tim's friends stopped. Tim didn't. He kept on running until he arrived at school. His friends couldn't stop laughing. "Tim might have peed down his trousers." One of them said. 

At school everybody heard about the story. Everybody started laughing too. Tim became a joke.  Poor Tim.

On the next day, Tim's dad followed him to school. He needed to go to the bank. The bank was next to the school.

On the way to school, Tim was taking the detour he was now used to. His father stopped him. He said he was in a hurry and there was no time to go trough another street. Tim's daddy didn't know the story.

TWO CATS

One cat seems to be bigger than the other. I can see two cats sleeping. It is raining outside. It is cold. It is an apartment. The owner of the cats like to read. The owner of the cats like to read and drink hot drinks. The place seems cozy. There is a window behind the cats. There are drops of water on the window. The cats are lying on a woollen blanket. The cats have their eyes closed. There is a lamp over the book and the cup of tea. Through the window we can see that it is a little bit dark outside. The cup is full. The book is open. One cat is brown and white and the other cat is darker brown.
