A Pencil Sharpener
Author’s Note: Hello. My name is Akhilesh and I go to Manthan school. I am in grade 3B. I usually like to play basketball and going to different places. I have gone to many places like Mexico, Niagara Falls, Canada and Las Vegas. I have lived in the US too. I love watching and reading Harry Potter. I also like going swimming.

I’m just a sharpener. A normal and new sharpener. I’m in the store. Ahhh! A person’s buying me! Am I going to be eaten?

Vroom! Ufff! I’m jiggling up and down in the bag. Ah! It’s finally peaceful and quiet again. The person has a pencil in his hand. Uh-oh! Hmm, ya, keep scratching my back. Aww, he’s using me up. He seems happy. Maybe I am doing some good work.

Oh! I can’t see anything from here. The person has put me on a shelf. It has been a long time since he’s gone. Maybe he forgot to use me. Finally, he is using me again. Ow! He’s not stopping to sharpen the pencil and he is pushing it hard on me. Ahhh! I’m broken into half! That hurts. Now, I’m just useless.
