Buddy Writing

Friends by Adele, Paris and Lucy

Tip tap tip tap, waiting for the rain to stop. Marmalade the cat and Bidgy the budgie were hoping the rain would stop so they could play together. They sat at the old rusty windowsill looking at the stormy rain bucketing down before them. They couldn’t wait to play their favourite game of tag.

Marmalade and Bidgy had been friends since the petshop days and liked to pretend they were hunters in the wild, and of course tag! The friends were starting to get bored, so they went to the kitchen to find something to play with. They started looking around and what should they find, but a yellow bouncy ball. Marmalade rolled it away with her paw, as Bidgy flew after it.

This new game had started to interest them. They called it ‘runball.’ They played for hours and hours until they both became extremely tired, so they cuddled up in front of the fire.

They slept for a very long time.

When they finally woke up, the friends jumped up onto the windowsill, the sun was peering out of the clouds. With a ‘meow’ and a ‘screech,’ Marmalade and Bidgy scrambled towards the door to finish the day with a fun game of tag.
