DM A Day Out With Agnes
It was late at night in the Gru residence and it was nearly bedtime. ''Get an early night tonight Agnes'' Gru said ''Remember dat you've got a big day tomorrow?''. But Agnes wasn't likely to forget so easily. Gru made it sound like she was going on vacation or to a party but no, she was going to visit the eye hospital in Despicableburg for a check-up.
''Lucy and I have packed your unicorn, asthma equipment such your inhaler and puffer, a packed lunch for us all and some colouring in books and pens''.
Early the next morning, Gru and Lucy woke Agnes up at 8:00am for a quick breakfast and a quick teeth clean, then they left the house and headed off to the train station to catch the train to the eye hospital.
They had to wait while Gru brought the tickets. When they got on the train, Agnes asked ''Why do I have to go an eye hospital? I feel fine!''. ''Lots of children like you have dis done'' Gru explained ''your sisters will have had it done when they were your age''. ''It's also to make sure you have nothing wrong with your eyes'' Lucy added.
The anxiety made Agnes feel quite breathless so she had to use her asthma inhaler. She cuddled her fluffy unicorn feeling comforted by the big soft fur. She stared out of the window for a few minutes or so, then she did some colouring in with her felt tip pens in her drawing book while the ticket inspector clipped their tickets.
Soon enough the train arrived at the station not far from the eye hospital. ''We're here Agnes ''Gru said ''Dis is our stop''. ''Gru, we can catch a taxicab here!'' Lucy called to him.
They got into the nearest taxi and Gru paid the driver. Quite soon they arrived at the eye hospital. Agnes squeezed the hands of both her mom and dad very tightly as they went inside to reception.
