Fabulous 3

Tom and Sara, brother and sister, were famous detectives in their town. One day, somebody called them, because a famous painting in the local museum was missing. They came and started solving the case. They found some traces in a deserted house. When they were looking for some more traces in the garden, they saw a boy, trying to act as a detective. He wanted to be like them. He had a coat, hat and a magnifying glass. They called him to talk. The boy said he’d found something too. He helped Tom and Sara, and after a few days, they found the painting and the person who stole it.

After that, Tom and Sara didn’t see Michael (the boy). They went to his house to invite him to the party they were making to celebrate the solved case. His mother told them that he was very ill and that the doctor said he was going to die if he didn’t have a surgery.

They were surprised. They went home very sad. They had dinner in silence. After the dinner, Tom was sitting by the fireplace, thinking: “I wish I had met him before.” And then, suddenly, he called Sara to come and hear his brilliant idea. “I know how to help Michael! Come with me!”

After a few days, the bell on Michael’s door rang. His mother opened the door and saw Sara and Tom with a lot of people, carrying a giant cheque, the money they collected for Michael’s surgery. Michael was very happy and excited.

After a long recovery, he was very well and started to help Sara and Tom in the detective job.

My family is very important to me. Mum and dad are always there for me, but my sister is special. She's older than me, and she has more experience than me, of course.

She's done a lot of things and I'm very proud of her. We learn English at the same school. There we prepare for Cambridge ESOL exams, which are very hard. In June she went to Belgrade because she had to take the CAE exam. That's the hardest one. She passed it and she's only 17 years old. If someone thinks that this reason isn't enough to explain why she is my hero, that person can call me for additional answers.

My sister will always be the biggest hero for me. First, because she's done a lot of things that are very important to me. And second, because she's always at the right place at the right time. My sister is...... a very good person.

Almost everybody has his/her hero. Heroes are people who are respected because of their acts.

My hero is my friend Marko. He is 22 years old. I admire him because he helps poor people. I think that he's been doing a great job. He always goes there, brings them food, clothes toys and other things that they need. He became a very good friend with them. They respect him. I admire him because he keeps this in secret in a way, too. I think that he is a very special person.

All heroes are very special persons in their own way. And I know that Marko will always be there for me.
