I have a cat named Baobao. He loves to eat shrimp for dinner. He is 12 years old; that’s 62 in human years!

He can be too lazy sometimes. He often ignores me when I go to play with him. Still, he is sweet! When I’m reading, he sits beside me with his paws on my legs. I will rub his tummy, and he will purr loudly until I can’t hear anything but his purring. I love him so much!

Baobao is brown with green eyes and a pink nose. He wears a fish collar I gave him for Christmas. But beware, he can still scratch!

Lionel Messi has captivated the world with his football talent and skills.

Born in Argentina in 1987, Messi’s rise to stardom began at FC Barcelona, where he showcased his unparalleled dribbling, speed, and goal-scoring abilities. His agility and precision on the field have left defenders helpless and fans in awe.

Beyond his mastery on the pitch, Messi’s humility and philanthropy have endeared him to millions. As a true icon of the game, Messi’s legacy will forever inspire future footballers to chase their dreams.

Hilarie Kam Cho-yin (aged 11), Good Hope Primary School

I am writing to talk about one of the weirdest favours I have ever been asked to do.

When I was small, a close friend in my class was scared to go to the toilet alone, so she asked me to go with her. She asked me to wait for her until she finished. Suddenly, she screamed and said, “I’ve run out of toilet paper. Can you please give me some? I will open the door for you.” I gave her some, but I will never forget how a bunch of kids appeared out of nowhere and saw my friend using the toilet.
