Brother is always running late – whether he is catching his bus to school

or coming home for supper. Mama, Papa and Sister are upset with his
behaviour and decide to help him. They buy him a watch and Mama sets
alarms for important times, so that Brother will be on time. However,
Brother is still running late and one day because of him, Sister misses
her favourite author’s autograph signing. Brother realises his mistake
only when his friend Lenny comes late to a Mighty Bear movie which was
important to him. Brother comes home complaining, and Sister helps
him realise that he too has been doing the same thing to everyone else.
Brother understands what she is saying and makes a promise to always
be on time.
