P. 4
Papa
She was finally on her way to the country, to her
Papa and Mama!
Although Tia was the typical 11-year-old girl, she
didn’t enjoy spending her summers like the nor-
mal 11-year-old city girl.
She didn’t want to be locked up in the house
doing the same things over and over. This was
why just having those two months away from
school and her parents had become the most
important thing in her world.
The bus tunnelled through the thickness of the
trees and heavy odour of hidden coal pits at a
slow pace and she wished she could just blink
and find herself at her grandparent’s house.
She loved the strangeness of the three-roomed
wooden house which was held up by stilts,
plastered by washed out grey wooden shingles
and built by her grandpapa.
