HELP THE HOMELESS!

I believe that we should help the people that live on the street. Also I believe that we should donate a lot more money to help them and help them by all donating clothes and food. The government is making the prices of houses higher and higher so they become expensive. There are a lot of people that live on the streets in New Zealand everywhere.

Homeless people are getting colder and colder sitting on benches. Since it is winter, it is cold and damp every morning. I bet they get wet and after it rains they have to wait until it is sunny so they can dry. We should donate some blankets and spare clothes. They don’t have anything to eat and so I think we could spare some extra money for them too.

 Another reason is their health is bad because they don’t have enough money and they are eating less and less food. They are not having food in their tummy because it is always empty.

We shouldn’t have homeless people living in such tragic ways just because the houses and food are so expensive. Homeless people should get treated the way any other person gets treated because we can’t just have people on the streets begging other people for money. Some people have been treating homeless people violently and treating them disrespectfully. Homeless people shouldn’t have to live in an environment like this. It is just disgraceful and disgusting to see people being rude to them.

 More than 80 homeless people are sleeping rough in central Auckland each night, according to a new survey. But the group which conducted the survey says the true figure is likely to be higher, with up to 150 people estimated to be sleeping rough within a 3km radius of the Sky Tower. A team of 30 volunteers found rough sleepers in doorways, bus shelters, cars, public toilets, parks, building sites, and under bridges. The survey is the second annual street census conducted by the Auckland Rough Sleepers Initiative.

Therefore, I believe we should go around and donate to the homeless people. Also we should donate a lot more money and make the prices of houses lower so it is easier for people to afford them. Also we can help them by treating them the way you would want to be treated.

The Black Hat

There was once an ordinary boy who lived in the forest, with his grandparents. He lived in a little cottage in the middle of a scary dark forest. There were a lot of beautiful birds and wild animals. He quietly tiptoed along the cracked path. His feet cracked some branches that were laid on the ground, and there was a humongous dark brown log in the way. He saw a big crack in the middle of the log which he just noticed that he could fit into. So then he wriggled through the crack and finally made it to the end.

Suddenly the boy saw a black hat. He quickly ran home and took it into his bedroom. After a while he had to go to bed and so he laid his black hat next to bed. Once he was slowly starting to fall asleep, away to dream, he saw something come out of his hat. He woke up and he saw three beautiful birds and a lot of beautiful creatures. He was so amazed at what he saw. He Hurried to his kitchen and quickly grabbed some old jars. Then he ran to his room and put them into the jars. When he finished he noticed that he had some spare cages on top of his shelves. He quickly grabbed each cage and put the creatures in.

Days past and the animals were still in the cage but then he saw a missing creature had got out of its cage. He went searching through the dark creepy forest to look for the bird. A few hours later he was so tired of looking for the bird that he gave up looking but then he saw a flash of colour.  It was the bird hiding in the tallest tree. He begged for the bird to come back in the cage but the bird refused.   “Please come back and live with me. Please oh please come back”. Surprisingly he saw something gleaming in the corner of his eyes. Something shiny and sharp that looked like a piece of the bird’s claw. Suddenly he sobbed and said.  “Why won’t they come back to me?”

The next day he went out searching into the dark damp forest and went to look for that tall tree. He walked and walked until he found the tree. All the creatures were sitting on the branch in a line.

He noticed that they didn’t like their cages and escaped out to the wilderness. He also had known that they wanted to be set free and so he let them free. When he let them free they spread their wings and flew away into the sunset. He walked home feeling miserable so he thought while he was walking about what he could do to cheer himself up. A few minutes later he thought that he could visit the animals again someday. And that was the end of story.
