Dear Sam,

How are you? Hope you are doing good. How are all at home? I am writing this letter to tell you an important incident that occurred last month. One day I was feeling very bored. I went down to the kitchen to tell my mother about this. She suggested some activities which I could engage but still I was bored. My mother told me that she too was very bored when she was my age. Grandmother had sent her out to search for the strangest little house. So she told me to do the same. She told me to put on my raincoat, hat, scarf, mittens and boots and walk around the block to look for that little house. The house was a little round red house with no windows and no doors, a chimney on the top and a star in the middle. I found it interesting as I hadn’t seen such a house before. I walked down the long block and saw many houses. At last, I saw a red house but it had doors and windows. On the way I met a mail carrier and a police officer, they too hadn’t seen such an house. At last, I had one more house to check.

It was Mr Fetzer’s house. I walked slowly to Mr. Fetzer’s bam and peered inside. He was packing apples into boxes. He looked up and saw me and gave me a cup of apple cider to taste. I told him about the strange little house. He smiled and told me that he remembered my mother when she was just a little girl. She too was looking for the same house. He walked outside and pointed to his orchards and showed me some trees. I ran across the field and up the hill and stood under one of the apple trees and looked all around. The wind blew a red apple right off the tree and it landed at my feet. I picked it up and took a closer look. This was the house I had been looking for but I couldn’t find the star in the middle. I reached home and showed mother the apple. She smiled and cut the apple through its middle. There in the center was a star. How’s my story? Didn’t you find it interesting? Hope you enjoyed it. Convey my regards to all at home.

Lovingly your friend, 

Jake
