Alfa's Recount

Last Friday

In the afternoon on Friday me and my sister and uncle went to Grey Lynn School. We played cricket first. I was batting first. Then it was my sister’s turn. My sister got a home run. Then we went to the shops. We got lollies. Then we went home. My sister took my lolly so we had to go back to the shops.
