Then we find out some sentences that use the word askew.

One of the sentences was " The painting was askew."

Why do I Like Slime?


Why do I like slime? First of all why won't I like it? It's sticky, fun to play and has such a relaxing sound (asmr). I love poking it for I love those wholes. Slime can be turned into different textures which make me feel comfortable and it also releases my stress of studying. My favorite texture is cloud slime because  the drizzling look and effect of it is so coo and butter slime looks so delicious and also has the shine like leather which makes me want to eat it. Bubble gum slime also looks to be delicious though. Another good thing is that stiff slime like floam can be molded into shapes and can be used for crafting and as I love to meet aliens thus to be prepared I play with slimes for as seen in science fiction aliens are slimy creatures.

Joining Words: Story

I gave Bilal and Rafay a task to make a story by using the following ten words.
1. Car 2. Paper. 3. Tough. 4. Journey. 5. Sharp. 6. Childhood. 7. Angry. 8. Similar. 9. Fake.
10. Cooking

The following story they made.

Once I and my family were heading of towards Samoa camp in Headingley in our car. It was a long tough journey. When we had traveled half way a clever and sharp policeman along with his guards interrupted us. He asked my father to show the driving papers. My father instantly show them the papers. They mocked and jeered at us and said these  papers were fake. My father got angry and fought like a hero then the police let us go. My father told that similar situation happened with his father during his childhood. When we reached the camp my mother started cooking.  It was a good time at camp and a different experience.  

Fire outside Askari IV


We will get a better view from on top of that ladder Bilal,  I’ll go first you come next, ok?  Fine,  he replied. Thus off I went climbing that ladder and yes as expected I could see the fire in those slums. It was a Sunday night I remember clearly me and my family came from our nani's house while returning home we saw it. 

A big large fire in the slums right behind the wall separating Askari with the empty ground. Smoke covered the sky and the long tongues of the flames licked the ground. A fire brigade will be needed to extinguish this fire said my father and he was absolutely right. I rushed upstairs and shouted Bilal come down there is a large fire near the park oh I know he replied ok really its now much brighter if you want to come, come or else don’t I am going ok I am coming  he replied we rushed down the stairs and went down don’t go near my father said.ok we both said and paced towards the end of the park it was a devastating fire for what we saw was that the electricity had gone in the houses next to the fire the fire had come onto the walls and a fire brigade came to the fire in front of me and it was a very huge one and kinda had all the necessary provisions in it and then another one came and then another one and another one then came two water tankers  and a truck filled with sand to extinguish it but something was missing thus I went home fetched a pair of binoculars and came down now I went towards the door from which anyone could go to the fire I went so near that I could pass my hand through the door and then I looked through the binoculars the flames were hungry for more and more land and covered almost all of it I over heard a few people talking and asking the guard what happened one man asked why is it taking so long to extinguish he replied a fire brigade had already gone and now 5 more were called then another man asked what had caused this to which he replied someone burnt the garbage and forgot about it  through carelessness it spread and went out of control another man asked how much more time would it take and the guard replied an hour or two then a woman asked if it was a danger for us who lived within the premises of Askari and his reply was maybe because there was an electric station near the fire if the fire reached that place a huge explosion would happen causing the fire to come to askari
Next me and bilal went to the starting of the street and saw a girl younger then me climb a ladder she gave me the courage to climb it thus I handed my binoculars to Bilal and climbed it I went to the top and could see fire men throwing water on it.

If I would be a monster by Maryam Masood

If I would be a monster I would look like a funny monster. I have five red eyes. I had four legs, four hands, four ears and five noses. I would come from a bathroom. I scared everyone. I would make scary noises. I would be scared from sunshine.

Red Car by Maryam Masood

Once upon a time there was a boy named Abid. He was a bad boy. He always played with his red car. One day I invited him to my party. He came with with his red car. He played and played and played with his red car and then he lost it. He looked everywhere and spoiled everything and he even checked the car in the cake and the cake was also spoiled. I told him to go out of my party and my party was spoiled. I was very angry. One day I found his car and I threw it out of my window. He was passing by and he took it. He was very happy but I was sad.

After entering the Manora premises we tool a Suzuki van where all of us sat inside to take us to the beach of Manora. In the middle there was a military check post. We had to get off from the suzuki and passed through the checking door. There were checking of both males and females visiors in seperetae check post. No foreigners is allowed. The security personnales may ask for the CNIC card from the visiots. So it is important to keep CNIC card while visiting MAnora. After crossing the check post we reach Manora beach. The sun was about to set. We went near the waves and played there,
I went to see the temple at Manora. The temple was locked. I took many pictures from outside. The temple was renovated recently. I asked the shopkeeper of a nearby shop that is there any way I can go inside temple. He told that there is a chokidar names Kishan who has the keys. Well, then I thought lets plan it for some other day as the sun was already set and then we have to go/ back as well. In the meanwhile kids had got all their clothes wet. So tries to find out dried clothes for them/ There in the market there was a shop selling fried clothes. Each cloth was of Rs. 50. I purchased the fried clothes for children, Then we went back to Keamari after the boat ride from Manora.
Then we went to parking lot. Kids changed their clothes in the car. Then we went to the fish market and purchased the fish. Red fish that was of Rs. 1000/kg also we bought prawns for Rs. 1600/kg.
