My Favourite Room

Dear Crystal,

I hope you are looking forward to coming to my house for the sleepover. We will be sleeping with the cat this time in the bathroom, as my room is being renovated at the moment.

The bathroom is my favourite room in the house. It’s cosy and sweet-scented. It has a door but no windows, and exhaust fan, a sink, a pink bubble bath tub and a shelf on which I put my soap and kelp. The bathroom is also where my cat sleeps, eats and drinks. The floor is made of peach square tiles, and it is suitable for our sleeping bags on which we will sleep on.

I recall one time when I was inventing potions in the bathroom. I mixed together some blueberry bubble bath and perfume, then added butter and melted sugar. The result was perfect! Even my kelp swayed to the scent of the potion ……Suddenly, my cat came in and slurped all of my precious potion! I didn’t mind but was more worried about the cat. Luckily, my cat didn’t die, and the potion even made my cat grow larger!

I love the bathroom and I hope it can always stay as my laboratory. Sadly, it will be renovated next year, so I will have to keep it in my memories. I look forward to meeting you next Friday, so I can show you my newly-invented Sparkling Sizzling Shimmering Spiral Shooting Stars Strawberry-scented Soap.

Love, Isadore

A Letter to the Head Mouse

Again here is a composition that I didn't even know I wrote! It was back in Primary 6 when we read The Tale of Despereaux.

Mr. Cheddar Cheese

Most Very Honoured Head Mouse

Gray Street, Mousington


Dear Mr. Cheese,
I am writing in response to the announcement made on Saturday. I am a lawyer who lives in Fur Street, and I have read about Despereaux Tilling’s story in the Mousy daily.

Firstly, I would like to accent on my strong disagreement of your decision. Your verdict of punishment for Despereaux is against the law. As it is clearly stated in The Ancient Book of Law for Castle Mice, all children are free of rules and laws.


Secondly,
I would also like to report a case which happened before you were promoted to Most Very Honoured Head Mouse. Hovis Celery, Junior Threadmaster of Spool University has committed a similar crime to Despereaux’s. I, therefore, kindly request that you take this into account.



Thirdly, I agree with what you would describe as “egregious acts”, that Despereaux had done. However, he is really a nice, cheerful fellow. He is top of the class, which I know because I have talked to his teacher. His imagination leads him to the library to read books. I’m sure that you simply cannot punish a mouse for reading books to improve his grammar.


Lastly, I would like to remind you that humans are not at all dangerous. Despereaux listened to the human king play music and the teacher told me that his music grades went from an A to an A+! And (I am sure that you do not want the mouse community to hear of this) I would like to remind you of the past. You know for sure that I am talking about the time when you were a baby mouse happily frolicking in the Princess Pea’s mouse cage!


I have expressed my concern quite straight-forwardly, and I hope you will think it over and agree with me. Please reply promptly. Thank you very much for your attention.



Yours sincerely,

Isadore Hole
