Sample Answer:
Yesterday evening, I went to the library to return a storybook. As I was walking to
the library, I was shocked to see two boys spraying paint at a teacher’s car. The car was
parked in the school compound near some bushes.
I quickly ran to the headmistress’s office and informed her of the incident. She
followed me to the scene. The boys were still there and were caught red-handed.
The headmistress informed the boys’ parents of their act of vandalism. As
punishment, the adults agreed that the boys should be made to paint the school fence
every evening. It was a tough job and the boys learned a hard lesson.
