But the next day it was his exam and he had to do it for 4 days . The next day when he did it he got all wrong

      And Omar thought he would get them correct but he got them all wrong because he did not practise at home. Oh no what am I going to do, I got them then all wrong. next in year 5, he had another exam and he thought of to cheat by writing them on ahis hand. When the exam started he look at his hand and started writing them down but suddenly his mum found out he cheated because his mum saw his hand.

    Dear Diary,
    I’ve had a super day! I do get my grandson to come here, at my house, he’s found about my Crown Jewels at my old, tiny kitchen. Well, it was and we were trying to- Ermm … Well these two people were trying to- let’s just say that they were trying to do something. Not telling anyone of course! I had to pretend I was doing yoga today, but come on! I’m a gangsta Granny, not a teenager or a young fellow, trying to be in a dream land doing yoga. Im trying to succeed to steal the Crown Jewels. Just don’t tell anyone, that. It would be crazy! I have to admire. I will make some cabbage things. Soup, and- well you get the point. I just love being a gangsta, you know, my grandson Ben, he is getting a bit interested in me, like how I stole those jewels and yeah! Hopefully he doesn’t find me boring and doesn’t believe me. I would be so upset! NO one is to ask or know about my Crown Jewels, my grandson is coming on Friday, well sadly next week.

    Ben- Oh. Certificates? 13 actually.
    Granny- That’s just enough for you to be in this job! You would’ve needed at least more then 9 if you had 4 certificates.
    Ben- Oh, then I’ve gotten a lot of certificates.
    Granny- Mhm! Now, last question and your hired! Well maybe. So, when did you want to start this job and why?
    Ben- I wanted to start this job because I didn’t want to be poor and I also got fired and it would be a shame to loose my house and not pay the bills.
    Granny- Great reasoning. Anything else you need to share?
    Ben- No, thanks.

    Today was a devastating day. It was a normal day with knitbone and we were playing catch. Suddenly the vet came, and told us disturbing news.
    All of my family were sitting sorrowfully in a circle as I gave him a scratch behind the ears and he slowly, but sadly passed away. I hope he is okay and I miss him so much.

I went to a mountain when I saw a seal and seals eat penguins which means the penguins were going to be eaten Pip got there as fast as he could and cared the seal with his enormous wings and then i felt happy.
