some of them were at their desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard
mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on the side of his racecar mailbox,
Johnny hopped out of his chair, strutted over to Veronica’s desk, and dropped
a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica blushed and
played with her hair. While this was happening, Bartleby was frantically trying
to put a small white envelope into everyone’s mailbox. After giving one to
Ms. Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his
