When he stand he sit almost;

When he hop, he fly almost.

He ain’t got no sense hardly;

He ain’t got no tail hardly either.

When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t got almost.

And get right to the top,

But when I started to spell “banana,”

I didn’t know when to stop!

William Cole 

The homely hen lays one.

The Codfish never crackles

To tell you what she’s done.

And so we scorn the Codfish,

While the humble hen we prize,

Which only goes to show you

That it pays to advertise.

When he got home he put his groceries in their right places. He gave his dog Sam some dog food and made himself a salad sandwich for lunch. After lunch Jeff got Sam’s ball and played fetch with Sam.

After that Jeff and Sam went to the park. Then they went home. Jeff put his swim suit in his back pack with all his other swimming stuff. Then he went to the swimming centre. Jeff had fun swimming. When Jeff had finished swimming he took his swim suit off and put his dry clothes on. He got all his gear ready and left the swimming centre.

When he got home he got some beef and rice ready for dinner. When he finished his dinner he got some ice cream, a bowl, a desert spoon and an ice cream scoop out. He got his desert ready and ate it up slowly.

After eating his ice cream Jeff cleaned up his mess, had a quick shower and put his pyjamas on. After he put his pyjamas on Jeff got a bottle off milk and a plastic cup out. He poured the milk in his plastic cup and put the cup in the microwave for one minute. While he was waiting for his hot milk Jeff put the bottle of cold milk in the fridge. When one minute was over Jeff drank the milk, brushed his teeth carefully, got a cup of water, put it on his bed side table and went to bed.

Before going to sleep Jeff thought of all the fun things he did that day. He went to the movies then went shopping, played with Sam, went to the park and to the swimming centre, he had a lovely dinner and then went to bed. Jeff went to sleep after he thought of all the nice things he did that day.

I walk to the outside table and put my shoe box on one of the chairs. I sit down and open the box lid and pull out an ice-cream lid. Then I pull out some coloured paints. First green, then red, after that blue, then yellow, black and white. I open the lids of the paint bottles and squirt a small blob onto the white ice-cream lid one by one. Then I get my plastic yellow cup, get out of my seat, walk to the tap and fill it up halfway with water. Then I return to my seat at the table. I put the cup carefully on the table and sit down again. Then I get a large piece of paper from the roll and put it on the red table.

I get a lead pencil, a small, medium paint brush and a large paint brush out of the open box. I put the paint brushes neatly on the table and hold the pencil steady and tight in my hand. Then I look across to the red petunia and start sketching. A few minutes have passed and I’ve finished sketching. I pick up the small paint brush and dip it into the red paint. I go over the flower petals as slowly and as neatly as I can. Then I dip my red bristles of my paint brush into the cup of water and continue painting with green, then yellow, then blue and finally white. Once I have finished painting I put my equipment away because my beautiful picture is complete. I love and enjoy painting pictures.
