“Jill, where are you?” shouted Harry impatiently. His little sister was always late. He had been waiting for more than 15 minutes already.
“I’m coming!” Jill’s voice floated out from the house. After a minute, she emerged, looking hot and flustered.
“I’m sorry! I could not find my homework,” she apologized. Harry nodded and got into the car. Jill moved to follow, but she suddenly stopped and let out a loud wail.
“Oh no!” Jill exclaimed. “My uniform has a stain on it!” Harry got out of the car.
“Does that mean you need time to change?” he asked in a strangely calm voice.
“Do you mind waiting?” Jill answered in her sweetest voice.
