Book Report Out Dad - 996 Words

â€Å"You may go now April,† called out Dad. I placed my basket on the ground and went in the direction of the back door of the little old house my parents and I lived in. â€Å"Don’t forget to wipe your shoes,† Mom shouted. â€Å"Alright, I will,† I shouted back. I walked steadily, looking around and thought of our past house back inside the Kingdom. There wasn’t much to look at around where we lived now. There were plains and fields of dry grass with all our dwarf houses and patches of farms. When we lived inside of the Kingdom there were lots to see. We lived the closest to the Palace, where the Emperor lived. From my old room, you could see the entire Palace, including its beautiful gardens and statues of past Emperors. â€Å" Hi April!† hollered Lisa as I approached the entrance and scrubbed off the soil with a towel from my shoes. â€Å" Hi, I got to go! See you soon!† I exclaimed as I went inside of the house. Lisa was m y best friend, she lived in the same neighborhood as I did in the Kingdom and that’s why she had to move out like the rest of us. I went into the cramped kitchen the house provided and started to prepare the rice on the stove for our dinner. While I waited for the rice to cook, I went to take a shower like any other day. Well, it wasn’t exactly like a shower, but it did the job. I used the clean, fresh water Dad fetched from the stream every morning. It was about half a mile away. I poured the water on me and made sure I left enough for my parents’ showers.Show MoreRelatedWilliam Shakespeare s Othello 1222 Words   |  5 Pages Intro What is this book? Why would you read this?
