It was a shiny day. In a beautiful city named Potatuck, there were many houses. In one of the houses lived a girl named Laura.

Laura had blue eyes and long blond hair, she was a very generous, intelligent and very, very beautiful girl.

She was wearing a blue t-shirt with a very big heart on it and pink short trousers.

Laura was twelve years old. Her house was huge and the bedrooms were blue with pink stripes and a very big garden full of flowers.

Her best friend was Nora Williams. Nora was very intelligent and she was very good at maths and art.

She had dark eyes and long black hair, that day she was wearing a blue t-shirt with a very colourful rainbow on it and purple short trousers. Nora was eleven years old. The next day Nora went to Laura's house.

It was a bright Friday, a very shiny day of winter...

Laura got dressed and went to a restaurant, she ate chicken. Then she went to a very big shopping centre. There, she bought a very beautiful pink dress and a pair of high heel shoes.
