The morning began with a snarl of frustration as Ben tripped over a ____ overflowing with laundry. The ____ in the kitchen had been left running, a thin stream pooling onto the floor. He shut it off with a sigh. He wasn’t in the mood for chores, especially not while his mother continued to ____ him about the biology report. They were supposed to join the ____ for African crested ____ at the wetlands—an important school project with a reward for the best presentation. Still, Ben dragged his feet, half-fueled by a slice of toast and a tin of ____. The walk to the reserve gave him time to think. His earlier ____ had been unnecessary. Though he hadn’t wanted to acknowledge his ____, deep down he knew he’d been unfair. Nature, however, offered quiet mercy. Watching the elegant cranes glide through the reeds seemed to do the ____, calming his nerves. As the sun broke through the clouds, Ben realized that the pressure hadn’t spoiled his day completely. He might not be proud of his morning, but finishing the report with a clear head felt like ____ in itself.
