- Abstract
- It was early morning, Rita and Ricardo were about to go to school. Suddenly, several people including children at the edge of the crowd stood on their toes gazing over the heads of those before them. “Look!" Ricardo pointed excitedly. “It must be a fight, “come, Rita, hurry up," urged Ricardo. It was about time for the bell to ring, "we will be late, if we go," said Rita. Ricardo was angry with Rita. Without saying another word and without looking to the right and to the left, he started to run across the street. Rita screamed aloud to warn Ricardo, but it was too late. With a loud squeak of brakes the driver turned the wheel violently to avoid hitting Ricardo. The automobile turned sharply to the right hitting a garbage can. When Rita and Ricardo returned home from school. Ricardo hang his head in shame to his mother and confessed what happened.
