Unwelcome Visitors

Mrs Rajan tossed about in bed, unable to fall asleep. She yawned again for the sixth time, she was obviously exhausted by the incessant mewing outside the gate kept her wide awake.

There they went again. If only those creatures would mew softly. Unfortunately, they started snarling at one another; the gentle mews turning aggressive. The cats were probably fighting over the food left by her neighbour,Mrs Sung. It was a common sight to see her neighbour leaving exposed leftover food near the dustbins in the evenings. Mrs Sung once shared that she did not wish to waste any unfinished food and that explained her’considerate’ act.

Mrs Rajan was not against her decision but the sight that followed was often far from appealing. The stray cats would appear near midnight, fight among themselves over the food and turn over dustbins to salvage whatever food they could get. Not only did Mrs Rajan find the noise annoying, being a light sleeper, she also felt disgusted by the mess left behind.

What should Mrs. Rajan do? Should she risk her friendship with her new neighbour and address the issue with her? Should she try and accept the situation and put up with it? Her husband had warned her about making any rash confrontation with Mrs Sung for it was just a week ago that Mrs. Sung invited them to join in a celebration at her house.

After four consecutive days of disturbed sleep, Mrs Rajan decided to handle this dilemma. She would have to discuss the matter with Mrs Sung in the most tactful way she possibly could. There was a tinge of hope within that it might not turn out to be as nasty as it might.

The next day, Mrs Rajan prepared a simple desert for the Sung family. She presented it before their dinner and a surprised Mrs Sung was most touched by her kind gesture. They started talking about the day’s events.

Just then, a stray cat went towards the dustbins. Seizing the golden opportunity, Mrs Rajan asked casually if Mrs Sung could hear the din made by the cats at night. To her utmost surprise, Mrs Sung expressed that her husband had just complained to her about it. She attributed that to the stray cats that gathered every night, Mrs Sung went on to say that she would no longer want to leave any food for them.

What a welcome comment from her! Mrs Rajan was overjoyed. She congratulated herself silently for not impulsively confronting Mrs Sung. The matter was settled in such an amiable and certainly agreeable way. What a relief for Mrs Rajan!To read primary school compositions: https://sgessays.com/primary-school-compositions
