The Old Sofa
Thando Ndlovu

At home, we have an old sofa. It is red and blue, with yellow and pink cushions. It once belonged to my granny.

1

My brother loves jumping on the old sofa. My mum doesn't like it when we jump on the old sofa. So, I always try my best to stop him.

2

One day my mother caught my brother jumping on the old sofa. He was in deep trouble.

3

My mom grounded my brother and told him that he would not be allowed to touch the television for the next few weeks. I was very happy because it meant I was in charge of the remote control during those few weeks at the beginning of LCKDOWN!
