Happy Life or Sad Life?

Once up on a time there was a family living in the middle of the Africa's forest. After a few years of happy living a war started and the war was near to this family's house. The family was very sad about the war because they were in danger. So the family decided to move to another country, they wanted to have a better future for their children. They came to England and the whole family was very happy about coming to England. But after a while they missed their families, their house and their country. Their children were happy, but one thing that made them sad was that they couldn't speak English well. They went to school and learnt some English there.

One day they went to a museum to look at the pictures and they saw a picture with a background that was half England and half Africa and a family in the middle of the picture that had two sons like this family. When they saw the picture they became very sad because they remembered their home. So the next day they sat down and talked about the nice things that reminded them of their country and then went outside for a walk. It was summer time and a very nice day, so they decided to go to the beach. There they met really nice people who became their best friends. They could go and see their friends and so they were the happiest people on the world because they had someone to talk to and to visit. After they met their friends they were happy that they came to England.

Once the two families went for a walk and the son saw a dog which he liked a lot. It was Chihuahua breed and the boy thought that the best thing would be if you could have the dog.  The parents liked the dog too and decided to take it home.

 The two families went to holiday together and even the dog was with them. They enjoyed there holidays especially the dog.

And now they lived happy ever after !!!
