Chapter 3
Alas, the day they had been anxiously awaiting was here. It was
Saturday and the sun was shining brightly in a clear, blue sky. Marla
jumped out of bed and went to find her brother. She hoped that he was
up and just as excited as she. She hopped, skipped and sang all the way
to his room. She stopped just outside the door, startled and surprised as
she could hear the sound of someone crying. “Oh no” she said out loud.
“Marly must be scared and nervous.” She quietly opened the door and
stepped inside. Sure enough, there was Marly sitting on the bed, with
tears rolling down his cheeks. “ What’s wrong?” she asked. “ Mum says
I caaaan….not leaaaa ….ve the house because I have a sliii..ght fever”,
Marly said through sobs. Marla felt sad and wanted to cry but seeing
how her brother felt, she walked over to the window, her mind and
thoughts racing.
