the ice cream boy

Kelvin Sampson a 5year old boy is a son of Mr and Mrs Peters who live in the city where there are many rich people around. Their neighbours are very rich and live in nice-nice houses. Other children of his age are from rich homes.

Kelvin’s neighbours house

Kelvin’s neighbours’ children, Mercy, Princess and Mark always enjoy eating sweets always. Whenever they ask for it their parents buy it for them.

But it is very bad to know that Kelvin comes from a poor home. Even the house his parents and himself live in is very poor and looks bad. Kelvin does not get what he wants but only gets what is available to him.

But there is a sweet that Kelvin always

loves to enjoy because he has been

seeing his neighbours children enjoying

it always. He loves to eat ice cream even

if is once in his whole life time. He is

dying for it and wants to do everything

to eat an ice cream.

Kelvin’s house

One Saturday morning, Kelvin asked his mother;

Kelvin: “mummy! Mummy!!, I want an ice cream, I want an ice cream”.

Hiiiiihiiiihiiii…..Hiiiiihiiiihiiii.

Cries out Kelvin.

Mrs Peters: “don’t worry my son; I will buy you an ice cream one day. But for now I don’t have money”.

When kelvin heard this, he cried throughout the day. Hiiiihiiiihiiiihiiiii!

When am I going to

eat an ice cream? OH

God!

So he went out to the park and sat alone

thinking about how he is going to get an

ice cream to eat someday.

Poor boy Kelvin crying because of an ice cream

So on the next day which was a Sunday,

kelvin went to the park to play after

church. When he got there he saw his

neighbour’s children and other children

enjoying

themselves with ice creams.

Kelvin stood and said to himself; “woooooowww I wish I am in the midst of these children. Ice cream!”

Kelvin got sad and went back home. In the when kelvin went to bed he had a dream on himself enjoying an ice cream.

Kelvin’s dream

Kelvin enjoyed the taste of the ice cream in his dream so much that he did want to wake from the dream.

When the mother woke him up to get ready for school he even got angry. When kelvin got school that day, when did not use his chop money to buy food. So it was closing time and Kelvin went to the ice cream vendor and bought himself an ice cream with his chop money.

Kelvin took a taxi and ate the ice cream in the taxi and enjoyed himself for the first time.

So after he finished eating it he slept comfortably in a relaxed way being so happy until he got home.

Kelvin finally had a taste of an ice cream for the first time in his life leaving it all over his mouth as he sleeps comfortably in a taxi home.
