Doris came home from school… She
dropped her school bag off her shoulders and on to the floor.
“Hello Doris!” Said Doris’
mother; “How was school?”
“It was awful” replied Doris with
a sad face… “My teacher gave us a whole load of homework, and now I won’t have
any time to play this week end”
Doris’ mother smiled at her young
daughter and said: “Well, I guess you should get started on your homework then…
Oh! And don’t forget you still have to tidy up your room like you promised me
yesterday!”
Doris picked up her bag and left
for her room. Sitting at her desk, Doris decided to start on her homework; she
emptied out her school bag and was exhausted just by the sight of the large
pile of thick books that fell out.
