It was Christmas Day and I was super anxious. For the last couple weeks my daughter had been telling me that she didn't have any good toys, or anything she really loved. I felt really bad for as what she was saying was 100% true, so this year I went all out with her presents. She rushed out and dived under our tree, I could tell she was very excited. "Open the big one first" I so hoped she liked it, but when she lifted the lid her eyes filled with joy as she pulled the puppy into her arms. "Yay!"

Hello, Sophie.
ReplyDeleteSophie, this is a wonderful story about a parent trying to do the best possible for their child. As children get older, their taste in toys and presents change so what might suit a three year old may not go well with a child of six. It can be a dilemma for parents, especially if their budgets are tight.
The solution in your story is a good one. A puppy can bring joy to a child and is a good way of teaching them to be responsible for something other than themselves providing they live in a home where a pet can be kept. Well done.
I can see the care you have taken with spelling and punctuation. My only suggestion might be to keep writing and developing your skills. I believe you have many more interesting stories to share and there is always the next 100WC prompt waiting for writers to explore. :)
