Model Answer

Mary’s Animal Shelter

Mary adores animals. She feels sorry for stray ones and one day she took a
dog home. Her mum agreed to let her keep it.

However, Mary kept on bringing animals home. Each day, she brought
another cat or dog.

One day, Mum came home, went into the garden and was shocked to see
that it was like an animal shelter.

She said they didn’t have enough space for them even though she knew
Mary had a kind heart. In the end, they took the animals to the SPCA.
