Linda was a good girl, but she was often late for school.
One day, she was late again. When she came in, Mr. Clark, her teacher said angrily, Ill tell you father if you are late again. Linda didnt want him to do that. Because her father was very strict with her.

When she hurried into her classroom, Mr. Clack was already beginning his class.
Linda! Didnt I tell you to be here on time? Mr. Clack said as he as her.
Im sorry, sir, Linda tried to explain, Im late because I had to?
I dont listen to any excuse, Mr. Clack stopped her. If you cant get here on time, I have to tell your father.
But Mr. Clack. Its its unfair!
Unfair! How dare you say that? Mr. Clack said angrily, Ill report you to the headmaster.
I was only trying to do a good idea, Linda thought,and now She couldnt keep back her tears.
When the bell rang for the break, the door opened and Mr. White, the headmaster came in. he was holding a wallet in his hand, Excuse me, Mr. Clack. Is this your wallet?
Oh,yes. Its my wallet. Who found it? I must thank him.
Linda found it and turned it in before school started. Mr. Whitesaid.
Mr. Clack face slowly turned red. He looked at Linda and said, Im very sorry. Linda. I take back what I said.
And Im sorry. Mr. Clack. Ill try not to be late again. Linda said.
