sings

Francesca: Ughh! Shut up! Your stupid singing is making it so I cant

concentrate!!!! ARGGH!!!
Teacher: Oh. Im sorry (teacher is very sad).

Francesca: Yeah! You should be!

Francesca walks off

Francesca (aside): Wow, Im feeling really guilty now. Lets think about what
happened.
I was trying to concentrate. And Mr. Vooys started singing. And I started to get
angry. And then I got really angry and lost my temper. Then I yelled at Mr. Vooys,
and made him really sad.
I think its ok that I was angry, but its not ok that I was mean. Yes, thats it! I have
to go apologize to Mr. Vooys.

Francesca returns to the scene

Francesca: Mr. Vooys, I wanted to tell you that Im sorry. That was mean of me to
yell at you and say your song was stupid.

Mr. Vooys: I forgive you Francesca. Were you trying to concentrate?

Francesca: Yeah, I was trying to concentrate.

fantastic! My song is so lovely it could shatter plastic!
