My name is Joe and I am ten years old. I have a pet named billy. He is 2 years old and is white and black in color. I love him very much.

Everytime I come from school, the first thing l do is to check on him and see whether he is properly fed. Immediately he sees me, he bleats and paces up and down to acknowledge my presence. My father helped me build a nice shed for him.

Whenever my mother sends me to the shop, Billy accompanies me. Everyone in the local shopping centre knows him .

One day my mother left without checking the shed and he dissapeared from home. When i came home from school, Billy was nowhere to be found. My family and i were very worried. we searched frantically for him but all was in vain.

My father and l reported the matter to the police station so that they could help us look for him. At first l was anxious about the police searching for him as he was only a goat. However we were happy when they promised to search for him.

After two days of searching, we lost hope and thought we could not find him. On the third day, we heard a knock at our door. l ran to answer and on opening I could not believe my eyes. A policeman was there holding Billy by a rope.

I was exicted on seeing Billy and ran towards him. My parent came out to see what had happened and they were overjoyed too to see that my pet had been found. We thanked the policeman very much.

Billy appeared to be very happy to be back home. He was very hungry too. From that day we all agreed as a family to be more careful in locking up his house. That was the best day of my life.
