Why did Tim decide to keep the cat?

We asked our readers this question last month and received too many answers to publish here. Here are some of our favourites.

Six months ago, I was washing my grandpa's car for some extra pocket money when I heard a strange noise. There was an old box in the street, and it was moving slowly. Inside was the saddest cat in the world. It was also the hungriest! We tried hard to find its owner, but, in the end, we kept him. We called him Five Pounds because that's how much he weighed when we found him. That's about 2.26 kg. Now he's a lot bigger and happier!

I sometimes look after my neighbour's five-year-old daughter to earn a little cash. When she goes to bed, I often watch something on their 75-inch TV screen. One evening, I was telling my neighbour that I loved watching their TV because the screen on my computer wasn't big enough and she asked, 'Well, do you want it?'

I've now got the largest TV screen in my class and it didn't cost me anything!

Marina Pierce

My baby sister of course! My friends had brothers and sisters, but I used to say, 'I'm happy with just Mum and Dad'. We live about 500 m from the sea and we're all keen on water sports; my mum surfs amazingly. Things changed when my sister was born 18 months ago, but for the better. Now I've got someone to spend time with. She's so cool!
