What is a Home?

There was a little girl named Elinor. She would think a lot about what home means, so one morning at school she went to her friend and asked, “what does home mean?” And she replied, “I think home means safe, loving, caring and cheerful.” “Thank you,” Elinor said. Elinor goes to her teacher and asked the same thing, “what does home mean?” The teacher said, “home means to me as contented, considerate, marvellous and courageous.” “Thanks,” Elinor replied. Elinor goes to ask one more person at school. She goes and asks her twin. “Ella, what does home mean?” So Ella replies, “i think home means helpful, jolly and strong.” Thanks, and school is over so we’re going to grandpa’s house. They arrive at grandpa’s house. So Elinor asks her last person. “Grandpa, what does home mean?” So grandpa replies, “what do you think home means?” Elinor replies “i think home means jubilant, warm-hearted and amazing.” “So there’s your answer.”Grandpa said.
