  1. It was a lovely breezy morning as Alice munched her breakfast happily. She was in Year 6D growing up really fast! Her mum started sending her for tuitions and she had undertaken a lot of trouble going through some hard homework Miss.Alison had given her for a challenge. But somehow something was wrong thought Alice. But, she soon found out what was troubling her. As soon as she got to school everyone was assembling some bits of laminated cards. "What's going on here?" Alice asked. But to her surprise nobody responded. Suddenly she spotted her best friend Carla striding towards her. "Watch out!" squealed Alice.But to Alice's astonishment Carla walked right through her. Alice shook her head, thinking her mind was playing tricks on her and went up to their teacher who was busy encouraging another pupil. She spoke quietly, then shouted at Mrs.Hotash. Alice wept. Everybody seemed to ignore her. She closed her eyes and sunk into a lonely puddle.
  2. On a wonderfully white and snowy day, Mrs. Meadows sat inside, busy with her weaving. Her daughter Dorothy Meadows skipped around their huge bright living room. Dorothy had always longed for her sister, an identical one just like her and may be a third identical one. Then everybody would be queuing up just to catch a glimpse of the triplets. Dorothy went to Ausbery's primary school and she loved all the subjects there. People always used to tease her and call her names but Dorothy didn't mind. Her favourite subject was science especially as her mum worked as a teacher under it and she got provided with lots of different materials. Dorothy always used to sneak-peak some of them back into her room and try out an experiment. When she was feeling really bad and let down in Science Mrs.Meadows was seen motivating her and oh what a blissfully change there was in Dorothy after!
