My Epic Gift

Would you like the a fantastic gift to give someone? Do you want to be the envy of your friends? Do you need to get out of annoying situations? Then I offer you my 100% raw, natural stick and 100% more sticky that a normal friend. Did you know that they can help you,  help you win races and keep you company?

Did you know that sticks are good at helping you? Do you wake up most mornings and find that you just can’t get your hair the way you want? Well I have the solution for you. You can poke your stick through your hair or behind your ear to take others eyes to the stick instead of your hair. Also they can be lots of other different things. They can be a wand like Harry Potter’s, when you wave your wand you can go anywhere you want to be. If you have annoying siblings you can trick them into thinking that you have a piece of gold in the shape and colour of a stick but instead it’s your stick and that it will turn back into gold if they are quite. They are also stick-tastic pals.

Secondly they can help you win a race. Do you come second or third or fourth in every race you run in? Then bring your friendly stick! You can win by a bud! They are very fast and speedy. Discover the add speed of the stick with you. They also can help you win the race by encouraging you and sticking with you. You deserve a friend like that! Do you love friends like that? Your stick is that lovely friend.

Lastly your stick can keep you company. Did you know that if you have a pet dog or cat they will play together so you don’t have to worry that your little furry friends aren't missing out on fun? Your stick will also stick with you through thick and thin. They will stay where you put them so you don’t have to worry about them. Which is fanta-stick! They aren't pal-stick so you know they are really there for you. They are all original just like you! They are the ultimate friend. They are the one of a kind friend.

Therefore, I think you should get a stick because they can help you,  help you win races and keep you company. Run, don't walk to your nearest tree or bush to get your stick-tastic buddy, but remember don’t go picking them off trees or bushes because they are still growing with their brothers and sisters. Get one from the ground!

Purrfect Cats For Miss McLeod

Did you know a cat’s purr is purrfectly soothing? I believe that after a busy day at school, there’s nothing better than coming home to a soothing cat purr. That’s why I think Miss McLeod should get a cat. Also because they don’t need lots of attention, no matter how far the go they always come back and they love it when you pat them.

One reason cats are great pets, because they don’t need much attention. They don’t need to walk them like dogs so you don’t need to get collars and leads. Also they will clean themselves. You can leave them for a long time so they are great if you work long hours. The only thing they will need is food. Did you know that if you have an outside fish pond they will drink from it?

Another great reason Miss McLeod should get a cat is that no matter how far they go they will always came back home. Cats love their homes. They might be gone all night they will come back home in the morning. When they find a present they will come back put it outside the house. They know their way around and they seem to know what time of day it is because when you come home they will be there, not far away.

Lastly they love it when you pat them. If they love you enough they will headbutt you and your face. If they are let in, and you are still in bed they will come in purring loudly. They purr lots when you pat them. They also like it when you brush them.

Overall I think Miss McLeod should get a cat because they don’t need much attention, No matter how far they go they will always  come back home and they love it when you pat  them. Run, don’t walk, to the closest pet store now before your purrfect companion gone forever!
