One day after school I was sitting on my couch doing my homework with
my dad, when all of the sudden the phone rang. My dad ran over and
picked up the phone and said, “Hello this is Tom.” The man who was on
the phone was one of the managers from Savemart, and his name was Bob.
Bob said that Alyssa and Erick had won their drawing contest. My dad
was very surprised that both me and Erick had won. After Bob and my dad
were done chatting, my dad hung up and said to me, “Alyssa you and
Erick won the drawing contest!” I was so happy that I said, “When can
we go to Savemart to get our gift card!” My dad said, “As soon as Erick
gets home.” So I waited for an hour then finally Erick came home. My
dad said to Erick that he had won the drawing contest and we were
heading to Savemart. So me and my brother jumped in the car and walked
in. Right when we walked in bob ran over to us and said, “I have your
gift cards in my office so we walked over to his office and he handed
us our gift cards. After that we went shopping and I got the best
things I’ve ever wanted. That was the best day ever!
