Barbecue in the park

Last Sunday, my friend and I went to the park because David’s family invited us a barbecue
party in the park. We lived nearby so we just walked there.

When we got to the park, there were not many people. David’s family was already there.
They arrived there early to get the best picnic spot with an electronic barbecue grill nearby.
When we arrived, they were cleaning the barbecue. After making sure the barbecue was
clean, they turned the barbecue on by pushing the button. The electric stove turned on and
the metal plate became hot.

David’s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some
sausages, beef steaks, and some onions on the barbecue. Meanwhile, David’s father was
preparing the bread, butter and the drinks.

While waiting for the meat to cook, David and I joined other boys playing football. When we
got tired, we stopped and enjoyed the sausages, steaks, and some cold soft drinks.

The food was delicious. I think David’s mother is one of the best chef in the world.

Tessie

We were moving house and dad asked me to help him sort out all the boxes in the
storeroom. I hadn’t been in the storeroom for aged and wondered what we would find. One
wall was line with shelves, stacked with boxes almost to the ceiling there where many other
wrapped up objects of different shafts and sizes. Dad opened the boxes and rummage
through them. I moved over to a wooden box and was just about to lift the lid when it
toppled over. Everything fell out into a heap.

Be careful!’ shouted dad, There may be something fragile in there

Then I saw it! My heart began to pound and many knees began to shake. It was a rubber
ring. It had belonged to my beloved dog. Tessie. She died two years ago.

I was only four when we got Tessie. I chose her from among other puppies. She was my best
friend. Although she had a basket in the kitchen she would creep up to my room at night and
sleep in the bottom of the bed. If I was cold she would snuggle up next to me.

Tessie could do anything. She could beg and sit and shake a paw. I taught her to fetch things.
One Christmas, I bought her rubber ring. I wrapped it up in shiny paper and place it under
Christmas tree. She played with it every day. Tessie would wait at the front door went she
knew it was time for me to come home from school. She would howl the painting with the
rubber ring in front of her. If didn’t play, she would howl and wouldn’t stop until did. In the
weekend we would take the ring to the playground and play four hours and hours until
neither of us could run anymore.

Then one day Tessie fell ill. She didn’t wait for me by the front door anymore and she didn’t
want to play with the ring. I tried to encourage her, “Come on, Tessie. Come and play.”

Seemed out of breath she couldn’t walk very well and she wasn’t eating properly. Mum and I
took her to the vet. The vet shook her head and told us that Tessie was really sick.

There, nothing they can do for her, ‘mum whispered to me.

I went to the room where Tessie was waiting and said my goodbyes I felt her warm fur for
the last time on my face and then I ran outside and cried…..

“What’s the matter, son?” asked Dad.

He put an arm around my shoulder. We all miss her, ‘said Dad sadly, ‘She was a good dog, a
really good dog. I nodded and put the ring hack in the box.
