As he watched the mother and daughter leave the , he ran to the candy counter and bought a box of Smarties with his money. Then he ran out after the little girl and her mother, and gave them the .

The end of the school year was coming quickly. I was so excited because it was time for the school play tryouts. This year's play was called Mystery at the Lighthouse. I was to get the lead part of Joe who tries to solve the mystery of the lights that go on and off by themselves.

The next day, were posted on the wall outside the gym. Kevin got a part in the play. However, l didn't see my name. I felt inside. I was sure I would get the part.
