Recognize Fiction text and Non-Fiction recounts

The best sight ever

Today I got to see a fluffy chick hatch from its egg. We put some eggs in an incubator twenty-one days ago and the first one hatched today.

I saw a small crack on one of the eggshells when I woke up. I didn’t want to go to school and miss out on the egg hatching, but my mum told me it could take twelve more hours until the chick hatches.

There were a few more cracks on the shell when I got home, so I just sat there and waited. I even ate my dinner in front of the incubator. I saw the hole get bigger and bigger. Finally, the chick used her body and legs to push the shell apart. I knew I couldn’t help the chick and she had to do it herself. She pushed herself out and I was surprised how wet and bald she looked!

It was great watching a new life come into the world.

Which type of non-fiction text is this?

Read the story below.

Sitting on the living room floor in the sun, Rex smiled as he knew he had the best life. Stretching out his golden paws, he let out a big yawn, showing off his canine teeth, then closed his eyes and dreamed of meat.

“Rex! Here, boy. Time for dinner,” a cheery voice came from the kitchen. Rex quickly leaped up from his napping place to run into the kitchen. His name tag kept hitting the food bowl as he ate. He finished his meal in less than a minute. His owners, Sophie and Parm, spoiled him from the moment they brought him home from the rescue centre. They took him for long walks, threw his ball and gave him the best cuddles.

One day, everything changed. When Rex heard the key in the front door, he barked and rushed to the door to greet his owners. Sophie came in and gave him a hug. Strange, he thought. Sophie seemed to have a new smell and she looked quite tired. A few minutes later, Parm came in the front door carrying a really tiny human in his arms.

Parm passed the small being to Sophie and she sat it on her lap. This small human then rubbed its eyes and fell asleep in her arms.  Parm and Sophie spent the rest of the day cuddling their new family member and smiling at each other. Rex had never felt so lonely. They nearly forgot about his dinner and he had to eat it ten minutes later than normal. He went to bed early and let out a quiet cry. All night long, Rex could hear his owners walking up and down in their bedroom trying to calm the crying new arrival. “What an awful sound!” he thought. “Why would they bring such a noisy being into our happy home?”

The next day, Sophie was pushing a strange object with four wheels. They put the small person into the object and put Rex on his lead. Once he got used to walking alongside the object with wheels, Rex loved his walk. In fact, it was the best walk ever. They walked for longer than they usually did and so many people gave him a stroke as they walked past. “I could get used to this,” he thought.
