"Hello," she said cheerfully. "I'm Pet Winslow. Dr. Wright said you may eat as much as you wish." She didn't give him a chance to talk, but set the plate on his lap and pulled the cloth off. He began wolfing the food down so voraciously that she was afraid he might choke. She had never seen anyone attack food like this young man. Though weak, he brought the plate to his lips and raked the yellow eggs into his mouth, seeming to swallow without chewing! From time to time he picked up a biscuit with a trembling hand and stuffed the whole thing in his mouth, adding more eggs. Finally he washed everything down with a large glass of milk.

The public library in Grand River wasn't far from school. Yolonda could walk. It was a big, old building on a corner, with a modern addition that stretched almost a block. Yolonda had to admit it was really a good library. She haunted it even on weekends, came to "stuff her head," as her momma called it. She knew the inside well, knew the side door would take her where she wanted to go. But she chose to climb the wide steps instead and go through the high arched doorway. She made her big body go proud and queenly as she walked into the well-lit quiet. She loved the smell of the books, old and new, and the careful silence there.

She nudged the bow to shore, lifted the lid of the stem seat, and pulled out a tattered cotton quilt. Sand flies bit into her scalp. Small squirting sounds came from the clams. She looked, uncaring, at the water in the bottom of the boat. She should be scrounging firewood, putting up a tent. But she was just too tired, too weary. At this point, she didn't care about the jobs staring her in the face. She threw out the anchor, wrapped the quilt tight around her, and, with the cat in her arms, curled up on the stern seat.

She was too tired to ________________.

These really are impossible tricks. If at first you don't succeed… perhaps you never will. Not all things are possible. It takes a wise person to properly assess a losing situation and walk away from futility. Contrary to what you may have heard, failing is no disgrace.

Earthquakes rattle these fossil bones around. Volcanoes erupt and bury the bones under layers of lava. Glaciers drag tons of ice and snow over the bones. Oceans flow over the land. Their currents lay tons of sand and broken shells over the bones. The weight presses on the mud around the bones. Slowly the weight turns the mud around the bones to stone too.

The bones are _____________________.

• new

• clean

• broken

• hidden
