1. HALLOWEEN CONTEST ---- 1ST PRIZE
This story is about an intensive friendship between a boy
named Joey and his white dog named Ghost. These two
friends were very close and they had lots of adventures
in the countryside. Everybody liked Ghost and a person
named Farmer Green particularly appreciated the
friendship between Joey and his dog.
One day, they were hunting squirrels and Ghost barked
to Joey because it wanted to protect its friend from a
large black snake that was next to a rock near him.
On the next day, Joey woke up, he couldn’t find Ghost.
His father told him that Ghost had died because it was too old.
Joey was heartbroken. He couldn’t believe that Ghost, his best friend, would never come back.
One day, Joey ventured farther than he had ever gone before. Suddenly, he lost his footing and
landed on a ledge below and he hurt his leg. He yelled for help but nobody could hear him.
Farmer Green was working in his field, when he saw a white dog running towards him. This
dog was exactly like Ghost. The dog barked, grabbed the man’s trousers in its mouth and tried
to pull him along. Farmer Green followed the dog but suddenly it disappeared. The only thing
that the farmer could hear was Joey yelling for help. The farmer saw Joey in danger and he
used a vine to rescue the boy.
Farmer Green was taking Joey to his home when Joey told him that the dog that Farmer Green
was talking about wasn’t Ghost, because it had died a month ago.
The moral of the story is that: in our lives, friendship is the best treasure that we can have.
