A PLAYFULLY HUMOROUS STORY THAT LOOKS AT COMMITMENT, THE REWARDS OF MAKING AN EFFORT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.

Hillary stayed home from school one day.

She felt that she much preferred to play.

But, suddenly, when she tried to speak,

she found she couldn’t make a squeak.

that she was ill and needed mending.

“My tummy hurts,” she said, “and I’m dizzy, too.”

So she missed her lessons and her words were few.
