100WC Challenge 4 - The Chips

By -
There they were, the most delicious looking chips. Guess what? Mom just bought them for me. As I bit into one of the chips, it was not what I expected. It was...sweet. Then mom asked, "How're the chips?" "They are so delicious," I lied. Then a row of birds caught my eye. When mom looked away, I threw those chips at them. Mom turned around and said, "Look at all those birds fly away and look Abby, that pigeon has the same chips as you in its mouth. What a coincidence. Wait where are your chips?" Mom asked.

    Oh dear, you didn't get away with that trick, did you? Thank you for using humour, Erin. It gave me a laugh today.

    Take care not to begin sentences with 'Then...' too often.

    Good writing, Erin. Keep it up!

A day in the life of a child in an informal settlement

By -
Today was...something else. In the morning there was a huge storm, a humongous storm, I was very scared. There was water dripping into the shack, running down the walls. Next I had to go get some water...barefoot. It was cold, wet and windy. Then I went back home. I was thirsty, if only the government would give us more water. I knew that the water was for supper tonight, but I didn't want to go get some more water from the tap that was so far away. Some children are so lucky, they can go to school, my only dream is to go to school. Later that night, mom made supper, not much. I went outside to go to the toilet. It's not nice to go to a dirty toilet with no door. When I was finally in bed, I felt cold, I switched on the light. Thank goodness I have a Khaya power bottle. Finally I went to sleep. What a day. What will happen tomorrow?
