Writing a Message
Imagine that Bob is going to meet his best friend after twenty long years. He has bought an
expensive gift for him, but he does not know what to write on the gift tag.

A. Write at least four messages addressed to a friend for Bob to choose from. Make your
messages as creative as possible. An example is given below to get you started.

Good friends never say ‘Goodbye’.
They just say ‘See you soon‘ as they march their separate ways.

Creative Writing
The story ‘After Twenty Years’ ends with Bob getting arrested and discovering that his friend, Jimmy,
does not let their friendship stand in the way of duty.

B. If you had the opportunity to change this ending, how would you have ended the story?
Write your version of the new ending in not more than two paragraphs.
