Saving the Carpet
By Lindsay A.

It was a great morning. The sun was shining through the spaces in my blinds. I knew today was going to be a great day. I put on my orange shirt with yellow and green polka dots. I put my best foot forward and went downstairs for breakfast.

When I got downstairs I grabbed my favorite cereal from the pantry and a bowl from the cupboard. Then, I poured cereal into the bowl. Next, I walked over to the fridge to get some glistening milk as white as snow. I walked back to the table, popped off the lid and began pouring the milk. SPLASH!!! I missed the bowl! The milk splashed onto the carpet!

I could hear the carpet shrieking with pain! So I ran as fast as I could, grabbed about 30 napkins, ran even faster back to the spill. I slid on my knees right in front of the puddle. Working quickly I rubbed knowing that the carpet depended on me to save it from the VACUUM CLEANER! I was almost done just one more wipe and…I was finished! I had saved the carpet!! Then I continued with my marvelous morning.
