Kerrie had a series of unfortunate events happen to her one day. She spilled coffee when a fly landed in her cup, burned her finger taking cake out of the oven, slipped getting off the school bus and hurt her arm, broke her sunglasses playing basketball, had her computer stop working while doing exercises, and was woken from sleep by a thunderstorm after finally getting to bed. Her aunt tries to cheer her up by saying it's nothing compared to a shark attack.
