David Text
David woke up fifteen minutes late. As soon as he
saw the clock, he jumped out of bed and headed for
the shower, afraid he'd miss the bus again. He
looked in the dryer for his favorite jeans, but they
were actually still in the washing machine. "Dang! I
told my sister to put my stuff in the dryer! Now
what am I gonna wear today?" After settling for a
pair of baggy shorts and a Hilfiger rugby shirt, he
grabbed a bag of chips and a soda from the kitchen,
and search frantically for his history book. When
he found it, he put it in his backpack, along with his
breakfast, his hat, and his lucky deck of cards. As
he ran to the bus stop, he told himself, "I will not
stay up late watching wrestling anymore!"
