The Attic: A British Story
One day there was a girl called Susan Hoppkin and she was watching the tele. Then she got hungry and got up to get some fish & chips. But on her way back to her seat, she heard a ruckus.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
"Blimey, whats that?" Susan said.
THUD. THUD. THUD.
"Mum!" shouted Susan. "There's a commotion in the attic!"
"Maybe its the cat!" replied Mrs. Hoppkin. "But we need to take him to the shelter!" Susan yelled back. She walked to the kitchen to grab a broom, once she got it she whacked the ceiling and screamed at the top of her lungs, "OI! GET DOWN HERE YOU LAZY CAT! GET DOWN HERE NOW MITTENS!!!"
"MMMMMEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mittens screeched from above. A moment later the cat was darting down the steps. "C'mon Mittens, time to go to the shelter!" cried Mrs. Hoppkin. 'The Shelter' was what the Hoppkins called the vet. But before they went there they would go to the Pet Store. So Susan and her mother were about the leave then, Mrs. Hoppkin said, "Wait!! I need to tell your father where we are going!" and then she was off getting paper and a quill, then she scrawled:
Arthur, Went out. Be back by 17:00.
- May
