Example #2:

Mandy loved animals.
She had 2 cats, a dog,
a parakeet, and a
goldfish. She’d been
bringing home stray or
wounded animals
since she was 4 years
old. She would nurse
an animal back to
health and then find it
a good home. Today
she was walking
home, and saw a
puppy with a hurt paw.

Example #3:

Ben always had trouble
getting up in the
morning. His mother
usually had to call him
at least twice. He’d
already been late for
school 3 times this
month. Mom had
already called him once
and now headed up to
his room and knocked
on the door. When he
didn’t respond she
walked in and found him
fast asleep!
