The Broken Window

The boys were into their sixth over but had only

six runs, when suddenly, John batted the ball
straight into Ms. Bob’s window.

All they heard was a loud sound of the window

cracking, BRACK! BRACK!

The glass window shattered and fell into the yard.

“OH MY GOD! What have we done?” gasped the

boys.

Faster than a cheetah, Ms. Bob raced out the front

door and roared, ‘’I warned y’all before not to

break my window and y’all still did it. Well, you

break, you pay! I want it fixed by today!’’

The boys sat under an enormous almond tree at

the edge of the field in deep thought,

“How are we going to fix Ms. Bob’s window by

today?’’
