and 15 year old Daniel think about old age?

good and bad experience, some wrote fairy-tales, fiction or rhymes. Class 9B wrote essays and later
they tried to write fiction. Here you can read often used statements. What do you think? Write 3 if

Resumé: A story about an old rag. Once upon a time there was an old sad rag which longed to be
loved. One day a little dog found this rag and took it home. The dog lived with a small boy called
Tom. Tom took the rag and washed it because it was very dirty. The other day the rag woke up on
Tom´s bed. Tom had many new modern toys but he played with the rag for hours. The rag was very
happy. It used to live in a pub and work very hard. The owner never washed the rag and nobody
loved it because it was smelly too. After a short time the owner threw the rag away. And how do I
know this story? Maybe I am the little dog who found the rag.
Hadr, který měl štěstí
Byl jednou jeden starý a křehký Hadr, který byl moc smutný a přál si, aby ho někdo měl rád. Jednoho dne ho
našel malý pejsek a odnesl domů. Malý chlapec u dveří viděl, že pejsek má v tlamě Hadr a hned mu ho vzal. Hadr
byl špinavý, tak ho šel hned vyprat. Hadr v umyvadle zaslechl chlapcovo jméno, když na něj rodiče volali, aby šel
dolů povečeřet. Ale chlapec Tom nejdříve smyl špínu s Hadru a pověsil ho na sušák, kde si mohl Hadr odpočinout
po těžkém dnu. Hadr si pomyslel, že pejska vlastní slušná rodina, která má jedno malé dítě.
Když se druhý den Hadr vzbudil, ležel na Tomově posteli. Nejdříve se porozhlédl po pokoji a viděl plno jiných,
lepších, nových a dražších věcí, se kterými by si mohl Tom hrát. Hadr nechápal, proč by takový starý a bezcenný
hadr mohl někoho jako je Tom vůbec zajímat. Tom po snídani šel honem nahoru do svého pokoje, aby si mohl
hrát s Hadrem. Tom si s Hadrem hrál celý den a noc. A místo toho, aby si malý Tom hrál s těmi lepšími a
dražšími hračkami, tak si hrál raději s malým Hadrem.
Hadr na takové zacházení nebyl zvyklý, protože když si Hadr jednoho dne koupil zlý pán z baru U Dvou Kuřat, tak
hned věděl, že práce v baru nebude vůbec jednoduchá. Každý si na ten hadr jen stěžoval, že je hnusný, špinavý a
smradlavý. Ale nebylo by to tak, kdyby ho občas někdo trochu vypral. Po několika dnech si na Hadr stěžoval i
jeho samotný majitel, a hned bez váhání Hadr vyhodil na cestu, kde ho našel Tomův pejsek.
A na závěr vám jen řeknu, že ten malý Hadr žil
u Toma ještě dalších pár let.
A chcete vědět, jak tohle všechno vím?
No řekněme, že jsem ten malý Hadr k Tomovi
domů přinesl já.
