“I want this toy Mum, Please, please, please.”
I am begging on my knees. “I love it, can I have it?”
“Not another toy!” mum cries. “You already have too much!”
“But this toy is special; it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.”
“Ok,” Mum sighs, “but this toy and no more!”
“Yes, I promise Mum, this will be the last.”
Tomorrow is finally here and mum gives me the toy.
All packed in a shiny cardboard box. I feel so happy and I open it to play.
I am THE KING OF THE JUNGLE!
“Thanks Mum, now I will never get bored.”
A week has passed now and I am watching a YouTube video...
‘WOW!’ I think. ‘This toy is awesome, it’s so cool.’
“Mum, can I get this toy please?”
