1) Dad and Krystal were finishing up a project in the garage together. “Can we paint the roof red?” asked Krystal. “Sure,” said Dad, “then when the paint dries, we can find a place to hang it in the back yard.”  2) Splat! “Oh rats” thought Katie as she stooped to clean up the mess. I hope we have another one.” She looked in the fridge and pulled out the carton. One left! Breakfast wasn’t ruined after all. 3) The scout leader looked at the sky and muttered something under his breath. Then he looked at the map. “Let’s get moving,” he called to the tired group of boys. “The faster the better.” 4) It was 8:30 on Thursday night. Emily stared at the large, empty poster board on her bed. Then she looked at the stack of books about Abraham Lincoln on her desk. Emily began to cry. 5) “Ouch!” Lucy had fallen again! She shivered and picked herself back up. Then she spotted her older sister Sarah, gliding backwards. She was so graceful. Sarah made everything look so easy. 6) Derek ran up the court, “I’m open!” he yelled toward the boy with the ball. The boy passed the ball to Derek, and he made his shot! The crowd cheered as two more points were added to the scoreboard. 7) Ana and Sophie sat in their chairs staring straight ahead for nearly two hours. They did not talk or hardly even move, but they were not bored at all. 8) Mom lit three candles. “There, that’s better,” she said. Claire turned off her flashlight. The house was quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing through the trees outside. 9) The bus was full of children. Everyone was laughing and talking. Ben scratched a mosquito bite on his leg. It had been a fun week, but he was glad that tonight he would be sleeping in his own bed instead of in a sleeping bag. 10) Alex ran all the way home from school. “Mom!” he shouted as soon as he opened the door, “Look!” He handed his mother some papers. ”You were right, all that studying really did pay off!” he said excitedly. 11) Kim turned off the lights, and everyone found a place to hide. Nicky hid under the table where everyone had put their presents. He peeked out and saw the front door starting to open. Kim turned off the lights, and everyone found a place to hide.

He walked slowly to the sidewalk and picked up the bat that was laying there. Then he looked at the broken window on his house and sighed.
