A young homeschooled boy is sitting down playing a video game then his mum comes home with a surprise.
We watched a short animated film with no words at school and had to write in words.
Hi I'm Matthew I'm 12 and I'm homeschooled. I live in a small house on Tui avenue with my Mum Lisa.
My Dad, David, is the leader of a charity business that goes around the world giving poor people blankets and food it's called the charity truck.
This week he's in India. He used to live with us almost full time but a few months after what happened to me he left to earn more money. My Mum and Dad don't get along very well because my Dad is always traveling. Before he left he had a big argument with Mum. I was supposed to be in bed but instead, I crept down the stairs as far as I could go without being seen.
"I must go or we won't have enough money to pay for him. We were already struggling before this happened!!!" he yelled.
"But wouldn't you rather see your little boy grow up?" Mum argued. That was all I heard before Mum came up to check on me.
I rushed up to my bed and pretended to be asleep.
She kissed me on the forehead and whispered, "I'm sorry" and then she left.
As I dozed off I reminded myself that everything would be OK. And that's my story. Now to the box opening.
