    immensely crushed!

  2. While trying to study for my huge math test, both of my little bothersome
    brothers came into my bedroom, running and screaming and then began
    bouncing like acrobats on my bed. I yelled at them to get out immediately, but
    they ignored me and kept jumping. They threw pillows at my head and raced out
    of my bedroom, leaving it in shambles!

  3. My treasured fish, Bubbles, expired. My dad buried him in the backyard. Dad
    took his shovel from the garage and dug a hole in the corner beneath our willow
    tree. As I watched my dad, tears poured out of my eyes. Dad turned around, took
    the fish bowl from me and placed Bubbles inside the hole. Using his shovel again,
    my dad packed the hole with loose dirt.

    door, she checks to see that no one is hiding in the bushes, then reaches into her

    work late and are never home before 7:00. One day Gina tried to unlock the front
    door, but to her astonishment it was ajar!
