Performance Task
Summarising
in a fancy house on a fancy street, there lived a fancy family. This family liked
everything to be just perfect. No mess no dirt and certainly no pets! The two children were always
expected to keep their rooms spotless, their beds made their clothes folded neatly in the closet it
was a lovely summer day when their perfect little world was completely tumed upside down Mother
was in the kitchen scrubbing the bench for the fourth time that day, when she suddenly screamed
in horror Father and the two children ran into the kitchen and were greeted by a rather funny sight
There was Mother, standing on the bench, jumping up and down, arms flying around like windmills
while a little mouse sat on the floor, looking completely relaxed despite having caused such a
scene
Although Mother seemed quite unhappy about having a mouse in her beautiful kitchen the
rest of the family thought it was actually quite funny. From that day forward the little mouse made
regular appearances in that perfect family house
Some would even say the little mouse became a little family pet!
