My pet
(Sent by Kelly Lagos, a student from Barranquilla, Colombia)

A week ago I was walking to my home when I heard a rare sound coming from a tree. I looked up but I didn't see anything, so I kept walking.

After a couple of seconds I felt somebody following me, so I looked back and guess what, there was a monkey behind me. Yes! I thought that maybe because I was tired I was watching having a vision, but no, it was a real monkey from the jungle.

I was frightened, so I started to yell. But anybody nobody was around. I looked once again to at the monkey and I saw that it was more frightened that than I was.

Then I began to get closer to it, and it was shaking of fear. I decided to take it to my house. When we get home, I inmediatly immediately gave it food. Wow, it was really hungry.

I took it to the zoo, but they told me that they had not enough space for it. So I decided to keep it. After all, it will be a really nice pet, I thought.
