Soggy Stepsisters Ada and Rachel were fighting again. Ever since Ada's mom married Rachel's dad, it seemed as though they couldn't stop. "Are you going to wear that?" Ada asked, pointing to Rachel's old pants. "I know we're on vacation, but this is taking it too far." "Yes," Rachel said. "We're going outside. But if you want to break an ankle in those shoes, go ahead." Ada sighed. "I think I'll be bored to death long before that." "Dad and I come to this cabin every year," Rachel snapped. "We love it." Ada laughed. "I guess you have nothing better to do." "Great!" Rachel said. "Now we're going to hear about New York again." "Girls!" said their dad. "Stop arguing. I'll make a deal with you. Get through this morning without fighting, and you can do whatever you want this afternoon." The girls looked at each other. "All right," they said. "Let's go out in the canoe," Rachel suggested. "Ugh," Ada said and then looked at her stepdad. "I guess." Rachel showed Ada how to paddle. "We need to work together," Rachel said. "This is dumb," Ada complained. "These life jackets are hot, and they look silly." Rachel said nothing as the canoe moved slowly out into the lake. "Paddle harder, Ada," Rachel called. Ada rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear. When they made it to the middle of the lake, Ada felt a gust of wind. She looked up. Dark clouds filled the sky. Rachel said, "We'd better turn around." The wind blew harder. "Why aren't we moving?" Ada yelled. "Paddle with me," Rachel yelled back. "One... two..." Ada was wild with fear. "Help!" she screamed. She stood up and waved her arms. "Ada, no!" Rachel yelled. "Sit down!" It was too late. The canoe rocked and flipped over. "What do we do?" Ada yelled, spitting out water. "Grab the canoe," Rachel told her. "We're going to have to swim it back to shore." "Can't we climb back in?" Ada gasped. "This is safer and easier," said Rachel. "It's not far, and we have life jackets on. Let's go!" They swam. Ada was scared, but Rachel helped her. "You're doing great," Rachel said over and over. Their parents came running as they got to shore. "What happened? Are you all right?" asked their mom. We're fine-thanks to Rachel," Ada said. "I guess it's good that you come to the cabin every year." She looked at her stepsister. "Thank you." Rachel smiled as she said, "Let's go change. You can help me pick out what to wear."

What terrible luck! “This is no fun”, said Cathy. She sat on the path. “Then we will go back again”, said Beth. “Please turn around on the path!”. “I think you will like this”, said Beth. Beth put Cathy into the warm bath. Cathy was happy to be off the path.

Fall Forward, Spring Back It was the first Friday in November. Daylight Saving Time ended that Sunday. The fall parade was Sunday, too. "Remember to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night," said Nola's teacher. "Spring forward, fall back," he added. Nola didn't pay much attention. She was always late for everything anyway. She figured she always would be. At dinner, though, she asked her mom if they could go to the parade. "I won't be here Sunday, but I'll bet Pablo could take you," Mom said. Nola looked at Pablo, her sleеру big brother. He nodded-and yawned. Saturday morning, their mom drove to the airport. Saturday night, Nola thought back to her teacher's words: "Spring forward, fall back." Or was it "Fall forward, spring back"? "Fall forward" sounded better, so she set her clock forward an hour. Just like that, it was past her bedtime. She was late again. "Time is not my friend," Nola sighed. The next morning when Nola woke, her clock said 10:15. The parade began at ten o'clock. Nola and Pablo ran to the parade route, but there was no parade. It seemed they'd missed the whole thing. They turned and headed home. On their way back, they spotted their neighbor Frank. He was climbing around next to an eight-foot pumpkin float. "The early bird gets the worm!" he shouted, then asked for their help. They worked on his float for more than an hour. Then Frank clapped his hands. "Let's get to that parade!" he cried. Nola and Pablo blinked in confusion. "Wait a minute," Nola said. "Wasn't the parade at ten o'clock today?" she asked. "Was at ten?" Frank asked. "Will be at ten is more like it!" he cried. He thrust his watch toward them. It said 9:30. Nola laughed for joy. She had jumped forward an hour when everybody else had jumped back. That meant she and Pablo were now two hours ahead of everybody else. For once in their lives, they were early! "The early bird gets the worm!" Nola cried. Frank nodded. "You've got it, missy," he said. Pablo yawned. It was all a big mistake, but it turned out to be a great mistake. It's why they rode in the parade that year, and every year since. It's also why, from that day on, Nola has been early for everything. Two minutes early, though-not two hours.
