Chapter 1
I woke up because of the the loud suond my mobile alarm made. I dropped my hand on top of the mobile to try to stop the sound, but instead the mobile fell down to the floor ! I tried to grab it, but I fell to the floor, hit my wrist and broke my watch.
I slowly went down the stairs, but I slipped and went rolling down the stairs to the kitchen. It was painful to roll down the stairs, but it was faster, so I didn't complain and got up.
“ Tracy !” shouted my mother angrily. “ It's not the firs time you roll down the stairs !” There was a bit of silence and then she started shouting again. “ And look what hour it is !” I looked down at my wrist, but there was no watch. “ And now you've broken your watch!” There was silence again. “ You will buy a new one,” she said.
“ Can't I wait until Christmas and ask for a new watch ?” I asked.
“ No! Your aunt bought it for you and it was very expensive!”
I didn't give up : “ But they are rich !”
“ I said NO !” Mum shouted.
Chapter 2
I decided to go to Amy's clocks because the watches were cheaper and it was the nearest watch store.
When I was going to Amy's clocks, I saw a kennel. I looked throught the window and saw some very cute cats and dogs. I counted them, there were 2 dogs and 3 cats. They were so cute !
I entered the watch store and looked around,
“ Hi ! ” Said a voice behind me “ Tracy !”
“ Hi.” I said.
“ What do you want ? ”
“ A watch, I've broken mine.”
“ Oh, what a shame, your watch was very cool.”
“ Yeah, I know Amy. Do you have anything for 20 pounds or less ?” I said for I didn't want to spend much.
“ Yes, look, I have this, ”Amy said showing me some watches. There were some of cats and dogs. CATS. DOGS. I remembered the kennel.
“ Amy, have you seen the kennel ?”
“ The one next to my shop ? Yes, the owners are gonna sacrifice the animals if no one buys them.” I was shocked. I bought the watch fastly and ran home.
Chapter 3
“ Mum! Are you listening ? Could we have the animals? Please !”
“ Tracy, I'm sorry but we can't. We don't have the money.” Mum really looked sorry. “ And did you say they were 5 ? I'm sorry but we can't afford it” Mum repeated
“ Ok ” I said and then went to my bed room. There I had an idea: I knew some people who wouldn't mind to have a cat or a dog, so I could give them away as Christmas presents!
I dashed out the door. I was going to the kennel.
“ Hi,” said the shop-girl.
“ Hi. Until when can I buy the animals ?”
“ Until the 24th of December ”
“ Ok. Thanks! Bye !”
Chapter 4
“ So you've said to buy them, feed them, and then give them as gifts ? ” Mum asked.
“ Yes!” I said enthusiatically.
“ I think we could do it, but with one condition. ”
“ Which one ?”
“ You buy them and you buy the food. Ok?”
“ Ok !”
“ Do you want to go and buy them now?”
“ Yes !”
“ Ok.” We went to the kennel in Mum's car because it was snowing.
When we got to the kennel, mum said : “ It's true, they are very cute !” She was smiling.
“ I never lie !” I jocked and we laughed.
The shop-girl appeared and said “ Do you want anything ? ”
“ Yeah, we would like to buy all the animals you have,” I answered.
“ What a surprise. Look cause I don't have any animalsn I will give you the cages I have and the food, free.”
“ Thanks, it's so nice of you to do that! ” I said.
“ It's nothing .”
Chapter 5
We had had the animals for a month or so and it was Christmas today. I was putting the animals in their cages and wrapping them.
I had just finished wrappingthe dogs when mum came in.
“ Tracy,” said mum.
“ Yes ?”
“ You know we could only find 2 families who wanted dogs and 2 cats ? ”
“ Yes, I remember,” I said.
“ Well, I've found a family who wants a cat.”
“ Which family ?” I asked curiously.
“ Our family !” Said Mum happily.
“ Sure ?” I asked, for it was strange for Mum to want to have a dog or a cat.
“ Sure.” She came closer and whispered “ Happy Christmas ! Which cat do you want ? ”
I got up and looked at the kittens. They were all so cute ! One was black with the left ear white, another one was grey withblack stripes across its back. The last one, and the only female kitten was white withbrown, orangy and black spots. She also has a circle around her left eye. The shop-girl had told me she was called Kiara and had only two weeks.
Kiara came closer to me and rubbed her head with my knee. I softly got her and she snuggled in my arms. Her beautiful black eyes were locking into mine.
“ I want Kiara.” When I looked down at her she had fallen asleep.
. . . .
We were having dinner when mum entered th kitchen and announced : “ Present time !” All the family ran upstairs.
I opened all my presents and with Kiara in my arms I went to mum and said : “ I know which my favourite present is !”
