The little cottage

November 2nd, 2007

Who do you think lives in this cottage?

One dark, windy night on the 7^th of April in a little village outside Stirling there was a really nice old cottage no one knew who lived there. But the council was getting pretty angry because the house was beautiful. But once the council got there they saw a note on the door it said, “Sorry I can’t be here right now - its because I’m at the gymnastic nationals and I wont be home until the 17^th of April see you soon.”

The man from the council walked into the cottage and the first thing they saw were 14 gold trophies for gymnastics. The council man said (wow the person who wrote the note isn’t lying at all right lads there’s no point in taking this little cottage down because we know that someone lives here).

It finally came up to the 17^th of April and the lady came back to her wonderful little cottage but once she got back she heard something in her cottage so she went in. Once she got into the cottage people came jumping out and shouted (SURPRISE) (thank you everyone) and the party went on all night.
