Today was a special day in Ms. Smith's class. Some of the children were walking around the room, some of them were standing in small groups, and
some of them were at their desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard
mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on the side of his racecar mailbox,
Johnny hopped off his chair, strutted over to Veronica's desk, and dropped
a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica blushed
and played with her hair. While this was happening, Bartleby was
frantically trying to put a small white envelope into everyone's mailbox.
After giving one to Ms. Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red
envelope from his pocket. He blushed and tried to put it in Veronica's
mailbox, but it wouldn't quite fit. Bartleby struggled with it for a few
seconds and then ran off with the envelope. Veronica rolled her eyes and
popped her gum.
