in NONE
June 30th, 2005
One day, as I was walking home from school, I found a red and white ball on the path. I chucked it behind me because I thought it was just a toy. But right after I heard a strange noise behind me. I turned around and saw a little dragon with a flame at the end of its tail.
I like the show ‘Pokemon’ so when I saw it I yelled “CHARMANDER!”.
It was the most astonishing thing in my life! I rushed over to the little dragon. I quickly grabbed the ball and said “Return Charmander.” A beam came out of the ball and sucked Charmander in. I ran home as fast as I could.
When I finally arrived home, I burst through the door.
“MUM, DAD GUESS WHAT I FOUND WHEN I WAS WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL! A CHARMANDER!” I yelled with excitement!
They came out with of the kitchen with puzzled looks on their faces.
“A Char-what?” asked my mum.
“A Charmander. From Pokemon! I just found him on the path when I was walking home. Look.”
I led them into the garden. I took the ball out of my pocket and threw it down. The strange sound came again and let Charmander out.
“Wow!” said dad. “If you train it a little you could get big money out of it.”
“I’m not going to sell him!”
“You don’t have to!”
“How then?”
“You could put on a show every week.” And that is what I did.
After a few weeks training he was ready for his first show. We put a sign outside the house saying:
Real Charmander. New breed of animal! Come and see. $5 only
After two months I had raised $700! The Charmander had babies after a while so I trained them and changed the sign to say:
The Charmander Show. New breed of animal! Come and see. $5 only
I am now 25 and I am still doing shows, but now for $10. I am making lots of money and have a nice wife. She had found a Squirtle. She trained it and she is making just as much money as I am!
Isn’t life great?
