happen next by looking for clues in the story!Nettie’s brightest idea turned into a huge mistake. One day she looked closely in
the mirror. She noticed that her eyebrows appeared to be growing together.
“Yuck,” she thought. Plucking the connected hair sounded painful. So, she came
up with a wild idea. She stole her mom’s cream hair remover and dabbed it
between her eyebrows. Next she put a little extra cream around the
outside of her eyebrows just to shape them up a bit. Then she let
the cream dry. About 10 minutes later, she rinsed off the dried
cream. When she looked in the mirror she screamed so loud
that her mom came running! Nettie must have smeared the
hair remover over one eyebrow by accident because now she
was completely missing her left eyebrow. Nettie’s mom
comforted her daughter, who was now sobbing. “I am sure
it will grow back, dear,” she said, hopefully. “However, I
think I’ll be the one to break this to your dad.”- Which sentence hints that Nettie is about to do something unusual? __
