Can you guess how this happend?
The house boat was small and red with smooth gleaming surfaces. The brass name plate on the front read “Fruitful Harvest”. So it would be a surprise to see the bow ripped and scratched. The boat seemed to be trapped in an eddy with the bow sticking into the shore of a fast flowing river.
The inside of the boat was crammed with pictures, some of which were unfinished. There were paints and paint brushes littering the floor. There was a math box and burger package floating in the water outside the boat.
On the deck you could see very small dusty windows lining the outside of the boat and the rope that would normally tie the boat up was snapped. The end of the rope was blackened and smelt of smoke.
Near the ripped rope, there was a Barbeque that had been knocked over. There were still some burning embers in it.

Who do you think lives in this caravan?
There was a Caravan City by the river. One of the caravans stood out. It had two bedrooms and was surounded by gardens. The caravan was for a family of three people. It was long and narrow and coloured white.
The inside was cream colour and there were red spots. When I opened the green front door, I saw some bits of coloured paper. I went to the living room and on the table I saw a tape and scissors. On the floor were bits of wrapping paper. There was a sticky label on the kitchen table. The floor was all dirty. A bottle was lying on the table and the water covered the floor.
In the frst bedroom there was a football lying on the floor. On the bed there was an invitation to the party that night. There was a jacket and a scarf on the bed and in the bedroom there was a photo of the family.
In the bathroom, the sink was all dirty and there was no soap. There was no bath top in it - it only had a shower. The bathroom was painted blue. The window was opened. the weather outside was windy and cloudy.
