Phellyz's Writer's Profile

Hi, my name is Phellyz and I’m 10 years old. I live in  a small town called Hokitika and I go to Hokitika Primary School. I love gymnastics, drawing, and reading. I like to write funny fiction stories because you can write about anything you want. I like reading adventure stories. Writer’s Workshop is when you do writing like stream-of-consciousness which is when you write anything that’s in your head, and then make jots from some of the words in your story. Then you use the jots and make stories. While writing this story, I learned that the first piece of writing you do isn’t always perfect.

My First Pet by Phellyz

Hi, my name is Moon and I really wanted a pet, especially a puppy; this is my story. 

On a cold Saturday morning, I was helping mum in the kitchen. After I finished helping her, I told her that I would go for a walk. I walked down the cold and icy street and I saw a small box.

I was curious about what was in the box,  so I had a little peek inside. It was my dream puppy, it was small and fluffy. I carefully lifted the box so I wouldn’t drop it and walked back home. What would mom and dad say? I thought. As soon as I got home I ran straight to my room and opened the box. The little puppy was shivering as I took it from the box and wrapped it in a small dry towel. 

I heard footsteps coming towards my room so I quickly put my big grey blanket over it. The door opened and my little sister, Star came running in. Star was only five and went to preschool. 

“What are you doing?” asked Star. 

“Nothing much” I try and say casually. 

“What’s that in your blanket?” She was my little sister, I couldn’t lie to her. 

“Well I"ll tell you something if you can keep a secret,” I whisper. 

“I promise” she whispered back. 

“Well this morning I was walking and I found this box,” I say showing her the box. 

“What’s inside the box” asked Star. 

“A puppy, it was out in the cold so I brought it home” I explained to her.

“When are you showing mum?”. 

“Maybe after dinner, hopefully, she won’t get mad”. I pull all of my blankets together and make a bed for the puppy. I was thinking of naming her Lily.

 It was getting dark. Star and I went to the store to get dog food. Star was getting tired so I carried her back home. We were just in time for dinner. I quickly fed Lily and ran back to the table. 

“Why did you buy dog food?” asked mom. 

“Umm well…I found a box on the street and there was a puppy inside it, out in the cold so I brought it in” I said worriedly. “I was wondering if I could keep it?” Mum and dad looked at each other and said, “only if you take good care of it”. 

“Yes! I’ll take of Lily”. I brought Lily in and we all played happily with our new playful, energetic puppy.
