Yield Not to Temptation
I dashed down the hallway and into my bedroom

and began playing with the matches. Match after

match, I lit, watching them light up and burn,
then looked at the smoke as it danced up into the

air. While playing I heard a vehicle approaching

the house. I dropped the match and went to

peep through the window to see who it was.

When I saw that it was my parents, I hurried to

put the matches back in the cupboard and went
outside to greet them as I normally did. I helped

them take the groceries from the car and then

inside to pack them away.
