One snowy day

On my drive to school today I saw an old house and barn. I was driving at dawn so the sky was yellow. It made the snow yellow. There was an old tree at the front of the yard. I wondered if anyone lived in the house.

I got out of the car and put on my puffer jacket. I got to the front door and knocked. There was no answer so I opened the door and walked in. It was pitch black so I put on my phone light. It was very dusty and there were lots of cobwebs.


I thought that no one lived here. Auntill I heard a little cough. I was shaking in fear. My heart beat started to go faster and faster. I started to walk back to my car. Then I heard the voice again saying “please help me”. “I am stuck, please help me”. So I go back in and have a look for this person.

I found the person was an old lady who was trapped under a chair. I was freaked out at the start then I saw that she needed my help so I went to help take the chair from her then I asked her how did you get the chair on you?

She said that “ There was a big storm and that shook the house and the chair fell on her”. I asked her how long she had been under the chair. “I have been under the chair for 7 days’. I needed to get to school so I said that I would come after school at around 2:45.

On my way to her house I went to a supermarket and got the old lady some food. I forgot to ask her what her name was. I went to her house after school and gave her the shopping that I got for her. I asked her what her name was. Her name was Hope Anderson. She is 93 years old.

Hope told me that it is her birthday tomorrow so I went home. The next day I went back to her house. It was the weekend. I cleaned the house for most of the day. Then Hope offered to have me over for the night. So I said yes. The next day we went to the garden store and got her some plants.

We made some garden beds and we planted some flowers in pots and in the gardens we did tomatoes and lettuce. We went to the bank to change all of her coins into a bank card. We set up a go fund me page. We got 2k from that and we went and got new furniture. We got a new couch and some new chairs. We also got some outdoor furniture. Hope got herself a walking stick.

I asked her if she would like to live in a retirement village and she said that she would not like to but maybe next year. The next day I took her to the doctors to get a cheek up. She was all fine.


The next year I helped her move into her retirement village. She made friends and she got a cat. I call her every two days and visit her once a week.
