Jenny Archer felt very proud.
She stood in front of her class. She looked
at the A-h and the gold star on her compo-
sition.
Her teacher, Mrs. Pike, said, "Now, boys
and girls, let's open our ears and Hsten care-
fully.Jenny is goingto read her composition."
Jenny's friend Beth clapped her hands si-
lently.
Jenny pushed her glasses back on her nose
and cleared her throat.
