Lena Went to A Party

Lena was invited to attend Marie’s birthday party. “Mom, can I go to Marie’s birthday
party?” Lena asked her mom. “Yes, Lena. You may attend Marie’s birthday party. But you
should be home by 9 pm,” answered her mom. “Also, you should not drink alcoholic
beverages at the party,” her mom added. “Yes, mom. I shall follow your instructions. I will go
to Marie’s house now,” Lena replied.

At the party, Lena was having so much fun. She was happy to be with Marie and her other
friends. Lena enjoyed eating and drinking the food served at the party. She especially loved
the fruit juice given to the party guests. Lena enjoyed it so much that she was not able to keep
track of the time.

“Marie, could you open the window? I suddenly felt dizzy,” uttered Lena.

“Oh, Lena! Have you been drinking the fruit punch at the table? That punch was mixed with
liquor!” exclaimed Marie.

“You can sit here; the seat is free. You wait here. I will ask my dad to drive you home,” said
Marie. After a while, Marie’s father approached Lena. “Lena, dear, I will drive you home.
Shall we go?” said Marie’s father.

Upon arriving home, Lena’s mother expressed her disappointment on her daughter. “Lena,
haven’t I told you to be here by 9 pm?! It’s half past 10 pm already, and you reek of liquor!”
“You are grounded young lady! You can’t go out of the house for a week! You can’t use your
phone either,” said Lena’s mother. Lena regretted not heeding her mother’s words. “I should
have followed what my mom told me,” said Lena to herself.
