Horses are better than Cats


I strongly believe that Horses are better than Cats.


I know with a horse you could enter it in a competition and if you could win the race and you will get a trophy or a medal and you would get all the glory.


In my opinion you can ride a horse around a field and you don't have to pick up their poo and you can make hay for them to eat and you can race your horse against another horse and you could win something, if they stink you can use a hose to wash your horse, you can wash your cat but sometimes it can be hard because some cats don't like water and you have to clean their litter box. Also, cats run away and when you can’t really catch them because they will use their claws to scratch you when you catch it. So cats are more harder to  take care of than horses.


Now with a horse you can ride it to your friend's house and also you can train your horse to jump over stuff like rubbish bins, chairs and bars.  Also, you can take your horse for exercise.  A horse can get you away from stuff like a dog that is attacking you or if you want to get away from your little brother or sister.


Also your parents would be really proud of you when you bring a trophy or medal home.


So that is why I believe that Horses are better than cats.

Country life is better than city life.
I strongly believe that country life is better than city life.


First you can have fun and run in fields that have long grass and have fun make stuff like tree houses and boats out of tree bark, dead branches and big leaves and you can float it down the river.

Also you can grow your own crops like tomato, broccoli, carrot, potato, cauliflower, cabbage, peas and corn. In the country you can milk cows and get eggs from chickens and you can feed baby animals and pat them and play with them.


In the country there is fresh air and not very much noise and you can sleep well at night and when you wake and go outside then it is nice fresh air to enjoy and you get to camp in the fields and at night  there is lots of places to hide in when you're playing spotlight.


In the country you can see the sunrise really well and in the middle of the day you can slide down a smooth hill on an old towel fast and you might land in the river, and speaking of the river at night you can fish for eels  and you can make a fire and cook the eels on the fire.

So that why I believe that country life is better than city life.
