My favorite toy I’ve chosen to describe was a doll which gifted to me by my parents for my fifth birthday. I saw it when I was window shopping with my father and I asked my father to purchase that doll but unfortunately my father was on a shoestring budget so he couldn’t afford to buy that doll for me. However after a while one day he came to house with that doll giving it to me as a gift for my birthday. Once I received that toy I was so thrilled and overjoyed. I really liked its appearance. It was so cute with chubby cheeks and brown curly hair and I named her Jack. It was my closest company. I used to take it to my kindergarten almost every day sharing it with other children to play with them. Unfortunately one day one of my peers who was really nasty and jealous stole my doll which made me so upset and sad. I was crying and shouting at her but she persisted in keeping my doll not giving it to me. So sometimes I think if I had looked after my favorite toy very carefully I would still have it. But unfortunately she didn’t bring my doll back and yeah I wish I had never taken it to my kindergarten.
