It was a beautiful Spring morning and the sun was shining and the sky was blue.
Several wispy white clouds was floating lazily in the air. The dafodils as well as a
tulip was poking its
head out of the ground. The grass was getting green and many of the trees was
begining to leaf out. Each of the birds in the yard were singing their finest song. It was
all together a very fine mornmg.
The previous week had been Spring Break. All of the students was granted an
entire week off from school. The weather had cooperated and everyone had enjoyed
being outside in your yard or out at the lake.

But now it was Monday morning and time to go back to school. The return to
classes books homework. Something no one looked forward to. But now the dreaded
day had arrived. It was Monday morning.
A mother walked into her son's room. She said Time to get up and go to school!

But I don't want to said the son. Pulling his pillow over his head the bed became
still again.
Once again the mother came into the room. All were dark and still. Looking at the bed
a
big lump in the middle could still be
seen.

Next} he had to choose the time of day. The 8:00
A.M. and 5:00 P.M. flights were more moneYi that was

was important since he was on a tight budget.
Gary's eyes became tired as he sat at his Dell
