My rug
I bought this rug more than twenty years ago and it is now a little threadbare. When new I loved the vibrant colours and the unusual design—well, for a carpet, which commonly have Persian designs—was what attracted me in the first place. I like to be unconventional.
A few years after I got the rug, I got a dog, and I couldn’t have a rug on the floor with a dog that sheds fur all over. And so I used it in a room in church where I had created a cosy atmosphere so young people can feel at home. At some point, the young people didn’t want the rug and a group of people, who ran the centre for children with special needs at the church, took it for these children to practice vacuuming on.
Anyway, after all the adventures the rug had, I decided that it should spend it’s remaining days in my bedroom and that’s where I took this picture. You can see my toe at the top left corner in the picture. 🙂

“well, for a carpet, which commonly have Persian designs”: You mixed your numbers here—a carpet should be matched with “has”. I think what you want to say is “carpets commonly have Persian designs”. Keep it simple.
I thought it was a good piece. You managed to put in a lot of details and the story kept moving and that “toe” ending was unexpected and added colour. Good job!
