Tara was having an awful day. She didn’t wake up on time
because she forgot to set her alarm clock. Since she didn’t wake
up to let the dog out, he made a mess on the floor. She forgot to
put her math book in her backpack, so she didn’t have her
homework.
When it was time for lunch, Tara remembered her
lunchbox was on the counter in the kitchen. She went to band
class, thus realizing that her flute was still on her bedroom where
she had practiced the night before.
Tara got on the bus to go home. Her friend, Keisha, told
her jokes to make her smile. As a result, by the time she got
home, Tara felt much better.
