A Surprise
“Oh my!” That was the sound stuck in my mind.
Another day, nothing bizarre. I ate my sloppy bread for breakfast, and headed to school.
“Sigh...” I said as I slowly walked to class. After school, my mother called me and told me not
to go home. Something was fishy, I usually go home after school at 1. 30p.m, but that day
was not a special day and my mother was acting weird.
I called my mother to ask her when I could go home and she quickly said 5.30 p.m. I
really suspected if something weird was happening. “Hmm…anyways, I just do my
homework,” I said while queueing for lunch. After eating lunch, I checked the time ant it was
5. 30p.m. I ran back home as it was a long day and I wanted to rest.
“Mom, open the door!” I shouted. No one was answering and my house was pitch black.
I shouted again, “Mom, anyone?” Then, my mother came and opened the door……
“SURPRISE!” My parents screamed. Being shocked, I shrieked, “OH MY!” Looking at the
decorations, I realised I had forgotten that that day was my birthday! After eating the cake,
my parents bought me a birthday gift.
I heard ruffling and small barks in the gift. As soon as I opened it… “Ruff…Ruff…” a
puppy! “aww!” I said joyfully as I watched it roll on the floor.
A gift that I get to raise and watch it grow, best surprise ever!

A Celebration
‘Uhh’ I moaned. Another lonely and boring birthday to celebrate all by myself. The first
thing I thought of when I opened my eyes, wearing my pyjamas. I wore my bunny slippers
and walked into my parents’ bedroom. Surprisingly, they were still asleep. I decided not to
disturb them and go to a nearby coffee shop to buy breakfast for myself.
When I reached the coffee shop, there was a long queue. I decided to queue as that
was my favourite stall to eat from. All of a sudden a little boy accidentally spilled the whole
cup of milo on me. I could not stand the crowd laughing at me, so, I ran out of the coffee
shop and I thought that my day has gone from bad to worse.
All of a sudden, a ‘good angel’ in my brain said to me that maybe when I was going to
the coffee shop, my parents were planning a surprise party for me. While the other said that
they would not do this to me and I know that they probably went out by now.
When I reached my house, ‘surprise!’ shouted my friends and parents, while the others
blew the party horn . I quickly ran to my bedroom and changed into my clothes as I did not
want to miss out on a party meant for me. After I changed, my friends and I played games
like pass the parcel , hide and seek, truth or dare and many more other games.
My parents asked me to come to the kitchen , so, I immediately ran to the kitchen as I
still wanted to play those games. When I entered the kitchen, I heard everybody singing the
birthday song to me . I pinched myself in the hand, thinking that it was a dream , but it was
not.
After we ate the cake, my friends had to leave as we have school tomorrow . I thanked
my parents and friends for helping me celebrate my birthday.

When I walked into the kitchen , I saw a bagful of probiotics on the dining table. A
particular pack of probiotics stood out especially. Seeing it made me recall the days when I
suffered from a terrible case of food poisoning…
My parents and I went to eat lunch. After lunch my stomach started to hurt. But my
parent’s stomach were perfectly fine.
After a few hours, I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach was so excruciating that I broke out
in cold sweat . I started to vomit and even have diarrhoea. I told my mother and she told
me to rest. When I was resting, I felt my forehead was getting warmer and warmer. I went
to get my thermometer and took my temperature. The reading was 38 degree. I panicked .i
told my mother that I had fever and diarrhoea, I even vomited!
My parents were worried, therefore, my father drove me to the nearest clinic. During the
journey, I felt like vomiting. The doctor in the clinic referred me to the nearest hospital. The
doctor in the hospital blood and stool tests. After the examination and with the test results,
the doctor told my father that I had a serious case of food poisoning. When the doctor
reminded me to wash my hands before meals, my father asked me,”was it because you did
not wash your hands before eating?,” “I… I.. did not wash my hands before eating,”I said
embarrassingly. My father looked at me furiously and said,” You are supposed to wash your
hands before eating!”
Soon, the doctor gave me some probiotics , after I ate them, I felt better…
From this story, I learnt that I need to wash my hands before eating any meals. How I wish
I washed my hands before eating.

when I suffered from a terrible case of food poisoning…
It was what felt like a normal day, but boy was John wrong. It was a Monday
afternoon, John’s mother had picked john up after school, they went to a nearby food court
to have lunch. Before john could start to munch down his food his mother stopped him and
said: “Ah Boy, you need to wash your hands before you eat your food,” as John was about
to go wash his hands he felt like his finger-licking good fried chicken called out to him. John
quickly changed his mind and wolfed down his food as his mother glared at him.
John would soon regret this decision very much. A few hours later, while John was
isolated on his PS4 he felt a throbbing pain in his stomach “OWWW” John shrieked as he
laid on the floor clutching his stomach in agony. His mother ran in his room and saw John on
the floor.
In an instant, his mother reached out for the phone and dialled, 911, for the
ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, John made his way into the kitchen and started
vomiting into the sink. After John finished vomiting, he tried his best to stay standing but
couldn’t, he collapsed on the floor as his legs felt like spaghetti.
When John regained consciousness he was lying on a hospital bed with a heart rate
monitor on his finger while another took his blood pressure.
The doctor said John that he had a serious case of food poisoning from not washing
his hands, as the doctor said that his mother glared at him John could only reply with a
sheepish smile.

A Celebration
Flipping through my photo album, I came across the photographs taken on my eleventh
birthday. I had never expected anyone to celebrate for me as it was during the examination
period. Little did I know what my parents had planned…
Ring! Ring! Ring! I woke up to the shrill sound of my alarm clock. I covered my head
with my pillow, it was the first thing I heard in the early morning. “Wake up!” mother
shouted. “You are going to be late for school if you don’t get up now.” I lazily rolled out of
bed and changed into my school attire followed by brushing my teeth.
Suddenly, I remembered it was my eleventh birthday as I was packing my bag.
Mother came back in and said, “Happy birthday. Now hurry up or you will be late.” “Umm
thanks,” I replied. As I left home for school, the journey to school in the car between my
parents and I was silent.
When I finally reached school, my parents said in unison, “Have a good day in school
and happy birthday!” While I was walking up to my classroom, I thought about my parents’
behaviour and felt that they were acting strangely. When I reached the classroom, everyone
stared at me as though I was an alien.
For the rest of the day, lessons continued as usual, until the end of school. Ding dong
ding dong … the school bell rang. When I was packing up my bag, everyone seemed to be in
a rush to leave, until there was only one person left, Susan, my best friend. “Hey! Do you
want to go home together?” I asked. “Umm no. I’m sorry, I have to go home and walk my
pet goldfish. Sorry, bye!” Susan rushed off.
I nodded my head but still not convinced by her answer. Just when I walked out of
the school gate, I received a text message from Mum. “Hurry up, come back there’s
trouble!” The message stated. After receiving it, I rushed home immediately.
To my surprise, once I stepped into the house, my family as well as my friends
jumped out and congratulated me “Surprise” They said in unison. “Thanks everyone” I
replied. “ I thought you had forgotten.” For the rest of the day, we enjoyed ourselves to the
fullest. We played games like pass the parcel.
After everyone left, I thought to myself,” The best party ever!”

Spiders, my greatest fear up to date. I have been scared of spider my whole life. It
was 2014. I was in primary 1, I was going to school when I saw a giant black widow spider. I
was frighten just by the looks of it.
After that incident, I have been trying to avoid all spiders at all cost.
Even if I tried my best, I just end up with another spider. Here an example. I was in the living
room eating When suddenly, a black eight legged Spider appeared . I was instantly paralysed
with fear, I tried calming myself I thought should I run or face the spider head on.
Before I could make up my mind, the beast jumped towards me.I tried slapping it but
I missed lucky I didn’t land on me. I was relieved but I then realised it disappeared. I turned
an around and saw it, still alive.
I grabbed newspaper, rolled it up and whacked it. I celebrated my victory.
Just as I thought the whole ordeal was over, a nest of eight legged beasts were
waiting to seek revenge on me.

when I suffered from a terrible case of food poisoning …
It was Sunday, my parents and I when to a restaurant to have dinner. I smell the
delicious smell of the finger-licking good fried chicken wing. But as I was about to eat it
Mummy said, “Hey you should wash your hands before every meal. “ I turned a deaf ear to
her advice, and my finger-licking good chicken was calling out for me. I began wolfing down
my food.
After lunch, I was sitting at my house sofa, watching the television. But soon, I felt a
stabbing pain in my stomach and it was so painful that I broke out in cold sweat. My mother
walked into the living room and she saw me unconscious. She quickly called the ambulance
When I was already at the hospital, lying on the stretcher and the doctor said, “You
woke up? I have already confirmed that you are suffering from food poisoning.” The doctor
gave me some pink-coloured medicine and soon after, I felt a lot better. I learnt a lesson
that we should wash our hands before every meal. I wish no one will suffer like I did.

A Celebration
Whenever I see my soft toy, Hamsty, on my bed I will recall a celebration of that day.
As I woke up in delight, I looked at my calendar. That day was August 17, my
birthday. I washed up hurriedly and went to a market with my mother and father to buy
vegetable for my father to cook for my birthday party. I was looking forward to the party as I
begged my parents to let me have a birthday party.
At 2 pm, I went to fetch my two friends to my house. But when it was already 3pm
no one came except for my two friends. All of a sudden, when I went to the lift, a bunch of
people ran out of the lift and shouted’’ Surprise!’’
I was so shock that I fell down and hit until my poor friend, Edlyn. I thought that
some of my friends and cousins regretted scaring me. The party then started, my father had
already cooked delicious finger-licking feast like prawn salad, bee hoon, nuggets…
After that, we played games like hu-la hoop, balloon challenge, blindfold challenge…
and of course we had a cake cutting session, a lot of my friends and cousins said the cake
was tasty. The cake was to my liking, fruit nut cake, my favourite.
Last but not least, the opening present session, I received a soft toy, Hamsty, a
unicorn squishy, braiding bracelet… and one of the memorable present was Nicole’s present
as she bought me some pens and when I was opening it, a lot of strings came out.
My parents’ present was a dress which is a stunning one. This birthday was the best
as I made it an enjoyable one. More enjoyable than last year. Until now ia am still recalling
about it.

Waking up by the sound of my mother calling me, I went down to the kitchen where
my mother was calling me.
“Can you help me get the ingredients in the fridge,” She said while she was focusing
on cooking. I went to the fridge and when I opened the fridge I saw so many medicines but
my eye was caught on a particular pink medicine. It caught my attention because I found the
bottle quite familiar so I ask her what was this medicine for. She took a quite glance at it and
recognised it easily.
“This medicine was for you and your sister’s food poisoning,” She replied back. After
hearing I completely remember how horrible that time was.
It happened 8 months ago, the day after my family came back from a vacation in
Batam. Me and my sisters started feeling ill in the morning but my parents didn’t believe
that we were sick and they thought it was an excuse to not go to school. Half way through
the day, I couldn’t bare the pain that was growing in my stomach. I had to go to the sick bay
but I was shocked when both of my sisters were there too. I ask them what happened and
they all experienced the same thing. We had already called our parents and they thought it
was serious so they immediately came to pick us up.
We went to our beds but I felt something coming up my throat so I immediately
went to the bathroom and vomited. It felt like I was going to faint. Luckily my father was
there to help me. Same thing to my sisters. My father quickly sent us to the clinic and the
doctor said it was food poisoning. After that he bought the medicine and went home. It took
us a few days to recover but we did anyways.
Looking back again I think I know how we got the food poisoning. It was all because
me and my sisters ignore my mother to wash our hands before eating.

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw a bagful of medicine on the dining table. A
particular bottle of pink medicine stood out especially. Seeing it made me recall the days
when I suffered from a terrible case of food-poisoning…
I was resting from my basketball practise and my mother was bringing me to the
nearby food court to eat my lunch, I was famished. I ordered my favourite rice and sat
down. My mother said, “Sam, wash your hands before you eat!” I turned a deaf ear to my
mother’s advice. The bowl of rice was calling out to me. I could not hold my craving any
longer. I began wolfing down my food.
It was too late to turn back, and I would regret it very much. A few hours later after
lunch, I played a board game with my brother. Then, I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach.
The pain was excruciating. I groaned in pain. My brother noticed and called out to my
mother told me to lay down and drink some warm water. She suspected that I had food-
poisoning. She had been in the same situation before when she was young and knew the
symptoms.
After a while, my mother asked me if I was ok. I tried to get the words out of my
mouth, “No!” I am bringing you to the nearby clinic. As we stepped out of the house, I felt
queasy. Vomit gushed out of my mouth like a waterfall. My legs have turned jelly and before
you knew it , I collapsed.
When I regained consciousness, I was in an ambulance paremedics assured that I
was in good hands. I looked at my hands and the heart rate moniter was clipped on my
finger. Before I knew it, I reached the Tan Tock Sheng Hospital, I was wheeled into the
emergency ward . I was given a stool test. After the test the doctor told my parents that I
had a serious case of food-poisoning. When the doctor advised me to wash my hands before
eating, my mother glared at me but I could only return a sheepish smile.
When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor prescribed some probotics and
advised me to stay at home and rest. I told my friends to wash their hands before eating no
matter how hungry they were. I would not want them to experience what I went through.

When I walked into the living, I saw a bagful of medicine on the dining table. That
particular bottle of pink medicine stood out especially. Seeing it made me recall the days
when I had a horrible case of food- poisoning……
I was walking home from school when,”grr……grr”, my stomach grumbled away. I went
to the nearest food court to eat some of my favourite chicken rice and soup.
I saw my favourite food waiting for me to eat it. I remembered that my mother’s wise
words saying,”Tom, wash your hands before you eat!” I did not care about those words
because what is the least not washing hands will do?
I told the uncle what I want to eat and look for a seat to eat my appetising food. I took
the food and gobbled it down. After I ate finish, I felt full and happily walked home.
A few days later, I was preparing to go to school when my stomach felt queasy and
clinched on my stomach and fell down, lying on the floor, suffering very badly. When my
brother, Thomas walked in the living room, He found me on the floor and shouted to my
mother, ”Mom! Something is wrong about Tom!” My mother rushed in and said, ”Thomas,
pick Tom up, we are going to the hospital!” When we are at our driveway, vomit gushed out
of my mouth like a waterfall. The three of us ran to the car and drove us to the hospital to
check what is going on.
When we reached the hospital, my face was as pale as a ghost. The doctor did some
check-ups and scans and said,”your son is suffering from food-poisoning, I will presribe
some medicine to help him get better.”That is when I gave my mother a sheepish smile and
said that I did not wash my hands before I ate the previous day. So, now I need to eat some
bitter and difficult-swallowing medicine.
After that week I had, now I always also remind my friends and family to wash their
hands before they eat to prevent them from suffering like I did.

A Surprise
When I was packing my room, I saw the best present I received on my 11 birthday. This
particular present reminded me of the best birthday ever….
Ring! Ring! The last school bell rang. All of the students dashed out like bulls as it was
the last day of school. I was walking back home with my friend, Keane. “Have you heard of
the new stunt skateboard that just came out?” Keane exclaimed. I replied, “Yes, do you have
it?” Keane replied happy as a lark, “Yes! My parents bought me the skateboard for my
birthday!” “That’s good! My parents never buy me a skateboard because it is dangerous,” I
replied feeling blue
I waved goodbye to Keane when I reached home. When I went to my door, it was
unlocked. Something was fishy at home. When I opened the door, party poppers popped like
the fireworks on Fourth of July. The lights turned on brightly like the sun. “Surprise!” My
family and friends shouted. I stood there in happiness and in shock because it was so sudden.
There were wonderful decorations, delicious food, candies and a giant cake.
“Thank you!” I shouted happily. Suddenly, I saw Keane. “Keane, do you know about
this?” I asked in confusion. Keane replied with a smile, “Yes, we wanted to keep it as a
surprise.” After a while, we all started eating, the food tasted like heaven.
After eating, we all felt full. It was time to open my birthday gifts. There were all sizes of
gifts. I opened them and there were clothes, toys and shoes. When I opened the last
present, I had a shock to my life. There It was, a skateboard that Keane was telling me
about. I stood there with my jaw dropping
I happily hugged my parents and started to practise. From that day onwards, I played
with my skateboard with my friends. This was the best surprise ever.

Suddenly, ‘congratulations! ‘. The whole house sprang into life. Relatives and cousins were
all at the party congratulating Jeff for completing his PSLE. Swirling in exultancy, Jeff rushed
to greet and thank everybody for organizing the birthday party. He could not believe that
they had surprised him with a big party. Balloon and streamers were hung along the wall,
delectable snacks were on the table. Mum and Dad had planned some games such as
Fortnite, Destiny 2 and COD.

scrumptious feast including some of Jeff`s favourite food, such as curry chicken, fried
chicken wing and fish and chips. Jeff wanted to have an unforgettable celebration of

“Jeff! We need to go to the mall to buy pens and correction tapes for your brother.”
Jeff suddenly snapped out of his flashback with a wide smile and hoped there would be the
same celebration after his O levels examinations

A Misunderstanding
Alice felt betrayed. Her voice crackled with anger. Joanne must have taken Alice’s purse
while they were in her room playing with her kitten. Did Joanne really think that she could
get away with the theft? Seething with anger, Alice was going to approach Joanne
menacingly to give Joanne a piece of her mind and get the money back.
Alice had invited Joanne earlier that morning to play with her kitten. Her mother had
just adopted that kitten from the vet. It purred and mewed, tumbled and yawned. That
kitten was simply entertaining to watch and cuddle.
“Silly kitten, do you think this is your toy?” Alice asked when the kitten jumped onto
her make up table to chew on her purse. The girls just assumed that the kitten was playful.
After Joanne left Alice’s house, Alice tidied up her room preparing to go for her tuition
class, she realised that her purse was missing! A dark mood came over her as she looked
high and low for her purse. Not anywhere in her room! Where could it be? No one had
came into her room except… Joanne it must have been her!
The next morning in school, Alice confronted Joanne with a n angry frown creased on
her forehead. “Alice, what do you mean by returning back your purse? Is it missing?” Joanne
asked with a shocked look on her face. Alice stared daggers at Joanne. What a hypocrite!
“Stop pretending and returning me back my purse! It went missing after you left my
house yesterday!” Alice felt pissed. After Joanne denied, Alice clenched her fist and stormed
off towards the exit.
That evening, Alice was in her room doing her homework. As she looked around for her
pencil, her heart stopped. She saw her purse. The kitten must have pushed it onto the floor!
Oh no! What have I done! Is this friendship over?
Alice asked Joanne immediately to apologise but she did not pick up. Alice knew she
needed to mend their friendship even if Joanne would not accept her apology.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. This misunderstanding would not hurt their friendship if
she could had been more careful while checking her room. Can their friendship be mended?
Or is it really over for them?

“I’m so excited for the temperature taking exercise today! How about you Esther?”
my friend, Katricia, asked. Her words echoed into my mind as I remembered about an
incident that happened two years ago…
It was a Monday morning at school. In class, the teacher announced, “Today is the
temperature taking exercise. Watch this slide show and we will begin.” While the slide show
was going on, I told Nicole, who was my best friend beside me, “Hey Nicole! Not to brag
about it but I am fully sure I will not get sick.” But later I would know that the words that I
had said was a mistake.
After the slide show, my classmates and I took our temperatures with our
thermometers. As I was taking my temperature, I saw the numbers increasing in my
thermometer. When I heard the beeping sound, I saw it… “38.6 degrees?!?!” I shrieked. The
teacher went up to me as she heard my screams. When she saw my thermometer reading,
she immediately took me to the General Office.
When I was there, I started to feel queasy. My head hurt, I had an urge to vomit and
my legs felt like jelly. I felt like I could not control myself anymore. Inside the General Office,
my teacher called my mother and I had to stay and wait in the sick bay. While I was in the
sick bay, the condition worsened. The room felt like it was spinning, my arms and legs got
stiff and sometimes wobbly and the pain felt like it was a ton of knives stabbing my body.
When my mother arrived, she saw that I was not in a good condition. She quickly dragged
me into her car and drove to the hospital. While I was in the car, I was groaning in pain. My
mother was worried sick and drove me as fast as she could to the hospital. The last thing I
knew before I passed out, I vomited and everything went dark…
When I regained consciousness, it was blurry at first. But then I saw a doctor and my
mother looking at me. The doctor said, “A few doctors gave you some blood and stool tests
and you had food poisoning. You will be discharged after two days.” I knew why I had food
poisoning. It was because I had left my lunch out for a while before eating it. I learned my
lesson and would never leave my food out again.
“Esther? Esther??” Katricia called me. That made me snap out of my flash back. I
would always remember that day so I know that I have to stay healthy.

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw a bagful of medicine on the dining table. A
particular bottle of pink medicine stood out especially seeing it made me recall the days I
suffered from a terrible case of food poisoning…
It all started when I was eating my lunch at a nearby food court. Just as I was about
to eat, I suddenly recalled my mother’s voice saying, “What did I tell you to do before
eating?! WASH YOUR HANDS!” two thoughts went through my mind, those thoughts were
like the devil’s and angel’s: The Devil said, “Ignore your mother’s advice are you completely
annoyed about your mother nagging at you non-stop? Look at your food, it’s calling out for
you to eat!” the angle said, “Listen to your mother, you will have a lower chance of being
sick!” while the Devil and Angel were fighting, I decided to listen to the Devil as I thought it
would no hurt without washing my hands so I gobbled the food like a hungry wolf.
After eating, I went back home, took a shower and started reading a book. Just when
I was about to go to my bedroom, the living room began to spin around me. I started to
groan in pain. The pain was so bad that it felt like a knife was stabbed into me. Then I
collapsed onto the ground and cried like a baby wanting its milk. My mother who was in her
room heard my cries and was shocked to see that I was on the floor clutching my stomach.
My eyes were half-closed looking at where my mother was. I said, “Mum, my stomach
hur…!” I could not finish my sentence as I become unconscious.
Without wasting a second, as fast as lighting, my mother grabbed her wallet and
keys and piggy-bag me to the car and drove off at high speed. By the time I regained my
consciousness, I realised I was on a hospital bed. I could hear the doctor saying, “Your
daughter has suffered from a bad case of food poisoning and she needed to stay in the
hospital for a week.” When my mother and the doctor came into the room< my mother held
my hand as if she was praying while the doctor went to the counter top and took out an
injection needle and started to fill it with some liquid medicine and walked towards me.
Seeing how sharp and long the needle was, I started screaming hysterically at the sight at
the needle. In my mind I thought, “No, God please no, no noooooo-!” the doctor had
already injected the, medicine into my body. My vision become blur and I fell asleep the
doctor injected me with a sleeping drug and I would only wake up after a few hours.
I regretted not listening to my mother and I promised myself to wash my hands
before and after eating my meals.

这时，那个盲人也去小贩中心吃我一样很喜欢的鱼丸面条。突然，我发现了那个
盲人是一个大骗子。原来他伪装成盲人，骗人捐钱。我很生气，因为我被骗了。他竟
然把我捐给他的钱去买食物吃。他还叫了那么多东西，而且大吃大喝的。我立刻拿出
我的手机，打给警察报警。后来警察马上赶到现场逮捕骗子。
我回家时，我把事情的经过一五一十地告诉妈妈。妈妈提醒我不要容易上当。
所谓“经一事，长一智”，经过这次的教训后，我不敢那么轻易相信别人了。

《上当记》
生活就像一个大渔网，扑捉许多大大小小的事情。有一件事情让我难以忘怀。事
情的来龙去脉是这个样子的……
假期终于到了。我和妈妈到三巴旺的图书馆去借书。当我们到达地铁站的入口处
时，我看见有一位盲人叔叔在路边乞讨。“求求你们，捐些钱给我吧！我已经好几天没
吃饭了。”盲人叔叔苦苦向路人哀求。他看起来大约五十多岁，骨瘦如柴，蓬乱的头发
就像一堆枯草似的。他身上还散发出难闻的臭味，看起来很可怜。于是，我向妈妈要
了两块钱。妈妈从钱包里拿出两块钱交给我。我便把钱放进盲人叔叔破旧的杯子里。
我看到另一位女士满脸笑容地从钱包里拿出五十块钱，放进盲人叔叔的杯子里。接
着，盲人叔叔的脸露出了愉快的神情，似乎好像看得见杯中的五十元钞票似的。
一个小时后，我的肚子咕噜咕噜地叫了起来。我真想快点儿把肚子填饱。于是，便
问妈妈：“妈妈您肚子饿吗？我们到附近的小饭中心去吃午餐好吗？” 妈妈回答
说:“好，我们走吧！”到了小贩中心，我买了两碗热腾腾的面。当我和妈妈找到位子
后，我们坐了下来，享用着美食。我向坐在我们旁边的人看了一眼。旁边那个人端起
饭碗狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，样子看起来似乎好像几天没吃饭似的。我好奇地再看了他
一眼。
咦!这个人好像是在哪里见过？想了一会儿，他不是刚才在三巴旺地铁站外的那个盲人
叔叔吗？他摘下了墨镜，正快速地夹着桌上的菜。桌上有好多食物，有鱼、鸡腿还有
汤呢。我心想：上当了!原来他不是盲人，他只是想要骗取别人的同情心才假扮盲人
的。我立即告诉妈妈。妈妈听了马上拿出电话给我拨打九九九。
不一会儿，警察赶到了现场，向我和妈妈了解事情的来龙去脉后就走上前，动了
动那位“盲人叔叔”的肩膀。“盲人叔叔”回过头一看，发现是警察，吓得嘴唇发青，身
子不停地打颤，想拔腿就逃。可是，一切都太迟了！他被警察带回警局问话。周围的
人看见骗子被带走后，都气得火冒三丈，大声喊道：“你这人真缺德，骗我们的钱。把
钱还我们！”盲人叔叔回答道：“全…全都花光了！”那位给骗子五十块的阿姨也在场，
她气呼呼地骂道：“把他关进牢里！这种人不能再给他继续骗人。”盲人叔叔满脸歉意
地对大家说：“对…对不起大家…” 我不应该骗你们的钱。是我不对，请你们原谅我。”
说着说着，眼泪从他的眼眶里流了出来。但是哭也没用，大家都恨透了他这种欺骗的
行为。就这样，警察把骗子带到警察局去接受调查。
所谓“害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无”。行善是对的，因为这社会确实有很多人
需要我们的帮忙。但是，我们也要防备他人，警惕他人，以免成为受害者。

《平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚》
“小明,快点去读书。不要一直玩电脑游戏了！”妈妈总是这么对我说。可是，我就是
爱把她的话当作耳边风，续继玩着我最喜欢的电脑游戏。到了深夜，我连凉也没冲，
就去睡觉了。
第二天早上，我到学校时，看见同学们都在埋头苦读，有些同学在讨论该怎么回答
问题。这时，“咯噔咯噔……”熟悉的高跟鞋声越来越近，吵闹的课室立刻变得鸦雀无
声。同学们一哄而散地回到座位上，屏气凝神地等着老师走进课室。
我们向老师行了礼，她严肃地宣布：“同学们，我们现在要开始考试了。”听到老师
这番话，我这才恍然大悟，原来今天有考试！我心急如焚！
一拿到试卷，同学们就开始作答。只听见课室里传出纸和笔“沙沙沙”作响的摩擦
声。看着试卷上密密麻麻的字，我毫无头绪怎么做答。无论我怎么样绞尽脑汁，就是
想不出答案来，导致我迟迟无法下笔。
时间就这样一分一秒地过去了, 看着试卷，我心想: 既然不会 ，那就用猜的吧！于
是 ，我拿起笔在考卷上作答。又过了半个小时，老师宣布停笔，她把考卷收了回去。
过了两天，我们拿回了考卷。我看到我的成绩，二十分，心想: 都怪自己不好，谁叫
自己平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚。得到了这样的下场，我感到后悔莫及。
当爸爸妈妈知道我的成绩时，他们把鼻子都快气歪了，狠狠地瞪着我，大声喊道:
“你每天都玩电脑游戏，所以才会考到这么差的成绩!”听了他们的话，我羞愧得满脸通
红，真想挖一个洞，钻进去，打死也不出来了。
经过这件事，我明白了一个道理，那就是一份耕耘，一份收获。只有付出心力的
人，才会有好成绩。

《捉贼记》
时间过得真快！回想起来，这件事好像发生在昨天。
那天天气真好！蓝蓝的天空中飘着朵朵的白云。在一个组屋楼下的篮球场，有两
位五年级的好朋友，他们一个叫小乐，另一个叫小明，正在玩篮球。他们玩得不亦乐
乎。当他们玩得起劲时，有一位年轻人从小乐的身后跑过去。他全身是汗。他穿着一
件白色的上衣和黑色的裤子。小明看着那位年轻人背着一个大包，大包里头有一个很
大的剪钳。小明看后就立刻告诉了小乐。
“小乐，那位年轻人的背包有一把很大的剪钳！不知道他要做什么呢？”小明小声
地告诉了小乐。小乐听了后，建议他们一起悄悄地跟在年轻人的后头。
年轻人走到脚车停车场。小明和小乐立刻躲在柱子后面，不让年轻人看到。年轻
人左看看，右看看没有人之后，便坐在一辆脚踏车的旁边，拿出那把剪钳，试图剪开
锁头。
看到眼前这一幕，小明和小乐急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，心情像十五个吊桶打水，七
上八下。他们需要很快地想出办法如何抓住偷脚车贼。
这时，小明灵机一动，就想到了一个好主意，小明便对小乐说：“我现在就去附
近的警察局去报警，你就在这边看着他，好吗？”小乐回答：“好！你快去快回！”小明
便以迅雷不及掩耳的速度跑去警察局。
没多久，小明和警察来到了现场。警察很快将脚车贼团团包围，让他无处可逃。
最终，警察将偷脚车贼捉拿，绳之以法。一个警察叔叔竖起大拇指表扬他们，说：“你
们真是个勇敢的孩子！”听了警察叔叔的赞扬，他们的心里甜滋滋的，感觉比吃了蜜糖
还要甜。”
所谓“经一事，长一智”，经过这个教训，希望那个偷车贼再也不敢犯同样的错误
了。

《上当记》
在一个格外炎热的下午，太阳像一个大火球，高挂在蓝色的上空。明华在地铁站的
外面，一边走着，一边吹口哨。
他经过了一位握着拐杖，戴着墨镜的叔叔。在外面那里当乞丐。明华看了，觉得
他很可怜就捐了些钱给他。因为看到里面的杯子没钱，路人又匆匆而过，好像没看见
他似的。明华走了之后，那位盲人叔叔左看，右看，确定明华走了。然后，那位盲人
就三步并作两步地跑去附近的咖啡店买大餐吃,大吃大喝的，咕噜咕噜地吃完一碗鸡
饭。
就在这时，明华也来到了一样的咖啡店吃饭。他东张西望在看要吃什么，就不经
意看到了那位叔叔！他吓得脸色苍白，发现那为盲人原来是个骗子。他就急中生智，
打电话去警察局，一五一十地把事情的经过告诉警方，也说现在他会回去之前的地方
等骗子。
不久，明华又回到了之前的地铁站。警察也到了，他们不一会儿功夫就抓了那位
盲人叔叔。警察把事情的经过告诉了那位骗子。骗子听了，他羞愧得满脸红，脸红的
像番茄一样红。警察竖起大拇指称赞明华：“你真是一个懂事的好孩子！”听了警察的
称赞，明华的心里甜滋滋的，感觉比吃了蜜糖还要甜！
所谓“害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无”，我们不要轻易相信陌生人，以免上当
受骗。

《偷窃》
记忆就像一张大渔网，捕捉生活中大大小小的事 。有些事情都已经渐渐被小乐淡
忘，但有一件事小乐却还能清楚地记得。事情的来龙去脉是这样的… …
那天太阳高挂在天上，蓝蓝的天空中飘着朵朵白云。妈妈笑着对小乐说道：“宝贝儿
子，今天是你的生日，我和你爸有礼物送给你哦！” 小乐开心地回应道：“真的吗？是
什么礼物呀？”妈妈回答：“你自己打开看看吧！”小乐兴奋地打开了礼物。 “哇，是最
新款的手机！谢谢爸爸妈妈。”小乐完全没想到礼物会是他梦寐以求的手机。
第二天在学校里，小乐拿出他新款的手机来炫耀。这时，坐在小乐旁边的同学小阳
感到非常嫉妒，因为小阳也很想要拥有手机，但是他的家长就是不肯买给他。
“铃……”上体育课的铃声响了，同学们一窝蜂地冲出课室，排好队准备去球场。
同学们到了球场后把书包放下。小乐把书包放下后，立刻把他的新手机放进书包里。
小阳看见了便起了一个坏念头，他打算悄悄地拿走小乐的手机。
小阳东瞧瞧西看看，看见没有人在看他，便悄悄地走向小乐的书包走去，然后打开
拉链，快速地从小乐书包里拿走手机，并把手机放进自己的书包里。
体育课结束后，小乐打开书包想找他的新手机，却发现手机不翼而飞！他急得快哭
了！还好，刚才小阳的举动都被班长看见了。班长对小乐说：“应该是小阳拿走了你的
手机。走！我陪你一块儿去跟他要回来吧！”于是，班长和小乐三步并作两步地跑向小
阳向他讨回手机。事情的真相被揭穿后，小阳不得不把小乐的手机还给小乐，并向小
乐道歉。
经过那件事后，小阳学会了偷窃是不对的行为，不是自己的东西不能拿。

《高楼抛物》
小明是脾气暴躁的孩子，为了一点小事就大喊大叫的。爸爸妈妈和他的亲戚好友
都劝他改掉这个坏习惯，但他就是不听从劝告。但是一个月前的一个教训，让他改掉
了这个坏习惯。
“小明，你照顾好小日和小文啊！我和爸爸会在晚餐前回来。”妈妈出门前吩咐
道。爸爸和妈妈出门后，小明就开始读他最喜欢的漫画书。而小日和小文玩他们的玩
具卡车。
正当小明津津有味地读着他漫画书时，“我的！我给你玩了十分钟了！到我玩
了！”小文大声地喊。“是我的！”小日也叫道。小明最讨厌管他们的事情。小明看到小
文和小日这样互不相让，就用力地把漫画书放在桌子上走过去，愤怒地把玩具卡车抢
过来。小明抢了卡车后把它抛下楼。只听到一声玻璃破碎的声音，小明把玻璃打成了
碎片。小明吓得魂飞魄散，他看出窗外，看到一位女士倒在地上，鲜血流了出来。
一个路人看到这个情况。立刻从口袋拿出手机，并报警和召救护车。小明搭电梯
下楼去看那位女士。这时，救护车和警察车到达了现场。医护人员把女士抬上担架送
去医院急救。警察向路人询问详情，并录下口供。有一位男士说有人抛下玩具卡车，
警察问：“你有没有看到他的脸？”路人回答道：“似乎看起来像这个小男孩。”警察吩
咐小明过来，警察又问道：“是不是你把玩具卡车抛下楼的？”小明发抖地回答道：
“是…是我。”警察打了电话给小明的父母。小明的父母就把小明带回家。爸爸大声责骂
道：“你知道你犯了法吗？高楼抛物是犯法的行为。”妈妈又接着说：“你这样会受到处
罚你知道吗？”
“经一事，长一智”，经过这次的教训后，小明以后会三思而行，不再因为一时冲
动而犯下大错。

Perkhemahan
“Arif dan Ali, tolong carikan kayu api kerana kita mahu membuat unggun api malam
ini,” Cikgu Azlin menyuruh saya dan Arif untuk mencari kayu api.
Saya dan Arif mula mencari kayu api bersama-sama. Kami berdua bercakap-cakap
sambil mencari kayu api itu.
Tiba-tiba, kami ternampak sebuah kereta merempuh sebatang pokok.
“Arif, ada seorang lelaki di dalam kereta itu.Kita harus memberitahu Cikgu Azlin,”
saya berkata kepada Arif dan dia pun setuju.
Kami jalan semula ke tempat perkhemahan untuk mencari Cikgu Azlin dan
memberitahunya apa saya dan Arif telah lihat. Kami menunjukkan Cikgu Azlin arah kereta
itu.
Cikgu Azlin ternampak kereta itu dan cepat-cepat menelefon pegawai polis dan
ambulans. Selepas sepuluh minit, kedengaran bunyi ambulans tiba. Ambulans membawa
mangsa kemalangan itu ke hospital. Dua pegawai polis itu menyoal saya dan Arif. Pegawai
polis itu pun mengucapkan terima kasih.
Cikgu Azlin memberi kami lencana kerana kami telah menyelamatkan seorang lelaki.
Saya dan Arif pun mencari kayu-kayu api semula.

“Beep,beep,” jam Hifas berbunyi.
Hifas bangun dari tidur lalu menelefon Ali. Dia mahu berjumpa Ali di Pusat Beli-belah
Sunplaza.
Selepas itu, Hifas dan Ali mengambil keretapi ke Ang Mo Kio. Apabila tiba, mereka
telah berjalan ke sebuah hutan yang terletak di Upper Pierce. Semasa di dalam hutan itu,
Hifas dan Ali lihat sekumpuan pengakap. Mereka membuat aktiviti disana.
Sekumpulan pengakap itu bertanya jika Hifas dan Ali juga mahu mencari kayu api
untuk unggun api nanti. Selepas lima minit, kami terdengar seorang menjerit. Hifas dan Ali
cuba untuk mencari dari mana datangnya suara itu.
“AHH! Cikgu Hafiz, mengapa kamu cedera dan kaki kamu berdarah?, seorang
pengakap bertanya
“Kereta…err…remuk,” Cikgu Haiz meraung
Hifas dan Ali menolong Cikgu Hafiz. Ali juga menelefon pegawai ambulans. Apabila
ambulans tiba, pegawai paramedik membawa Cikgu Hafiz ke hospital. Pengawai polis itu
