THE PRESENT

I was playing playstation and my mum came in and put a box in front of the TV and my mum said "This is for you". Then she pulled the blinds. I couldn't see. I was wondering what was in the box so I opened it and a puppy jumped out. It made me happy but then I seen the dog only had 3 legs. So I chucked the dog but it got up and started playing. It found a ball. He chased the ball until he ran in a box and got stuck. I felt bad but he got out of the box. I laughed so I got up and got my crutches because I only have 1 leg and told my mum I will be outside. Me and my dog played outside. THE END
