She remembered that her project was due the very next day. Since this project was a major part of her grade, she knew that it was going to have to IMPRESS HER TEACHER. Allison’s FEET RAN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE as she raced to her mom’s room. She KNEELED SOBBING AT HER MOTHER’S FEET, begging for help. Her mother replied that sooner or later she would have to learn TO BE INDEPENDENT. Allison knew that she had STARTED OF TOO late and that she would have to HURRY if she wanted to finish this paper. Then she knew that next time a paper was assigned she would have to HASTEN and TRY to prevent this from happening again.

She remembered that her project was due the very next day. Since this project was a major part of her grade, she knew that it was going to have to IMPRESS HER TEACHER THOROUGHLY. Allison’s FEET MOVED SWIFTLY as she raced to her mom’s room. She KNELT, begging for help. Her mother replied that sooner or later she would have to learn to BE INDEPENDENT. Allison knew that she had ALREADY BEEN WRONG in starting so late and that she would have to WORK FASTER if she wanted to finish this paper. Then she knew that next time a paper was assigned she would have to START EARLIER and PLAN HER WORK to prevent this from happening again.

Thirty minutes had passed and they were still not back yet. Then, we heard a roar from inside our stomachs. Julie pleaded impatiently, “Mr. Tan, can we eat already, please? Waiting for John and Pete is like WATCHING PAINT DRY!” Just then, we heard bewildered screams. We did not have to look at them to know that they were John and Pete. “Help!” John and Pete screamed wildly. Tom gasped, “Look at the FEAR WRITTEN ALL OVER HIS FACE! I wonder what happened!” Then, we saw it. It was the largest and fiercest goat I had ever seen in my life! Pete hauled himself up the nearest tree and heaved a sigh of relief as the goat did not stop for him. He yelled at the top of his voice, “John! Climb that tree, quick!” John panted, “NO CAN DO, Pete! Climbing trees is my ACHILLES’ HEEL!” John’s energy was draining and he could run no more. He slowly stopped, and was backed into a tree by the goat. I’M TOAST, John thought. One minute. Two minutes. Thirty minutes. Thirty minutes had passed and they were still not back yet. Then, we heard a roar from inside our stomachs.

Slowly, I stood like a new-born baby taking his first few steps and stretched my weary limbs.As i looked out of the ancient and dilaphidated otherwise cosy farmhouse which seemed as if it was left unkept for a decade,my worst fears were realized, there, running and shouting, was a group of young terrors. Why couldn't they just stay at home and be couch potatoes rather than coming here and offering me another round of terrorising entertainment? Little did I know that this time, the fun and entertainment will sit on my crown in the presence of glittering rubies,(which basically means that i will have my own share of fun).
