Carrie loved her phone and her tablet. She was always looking at one or the other. Her parents would try to talk to her about her life, but she would just ignore them or give them brief answers until they left her alone. When she was at school, she'd sneak peeks at her phone under her desk whenever she could get away with it. When she was at parties, she spent more time interacting with the devices in front of her than with the people around her. Even at concerts and sporting events, Carrie seldom removed her eyes from these tiny screens. One day Carrie was walking home from a friend's house and watching a funny video of people slipping on ice. She began crossing the street just after the light changed. She was so into the video that she did not notice the oncoming traffic. She walked directly into the traffic while laughing at the falling people on her tiny screen and was hit by a bus. Carrie sustained mild injuries, but both of her devices were destroyed. As far as she was concerned, her life was over.
Carrie loves to use her phone, but she needs to balance that desire with the more practical concerns of safety and wellbeing.
Carrie is rude to her teachers and parents and gets away with it. That is bad for her eyes.
To much screen time is bad is for your eyes and hurts your eyes. It is never good for you
Carrie bad girl.

Mr. Pig and Mr. Dog were hanging out at the food court of the animal shopping mall. Mr. Pig was eating a
huge feast of pizza and drinking a large jug of fruit punch and Mr. Dog was watching him eat. “Hey, Mr. Pig. If
you give me a slice of your pizza, I’ll let you have the next bone I find.” Mr. Pig declined, even though it hurt his
stomach to eat the last three slices of pizza. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dog,” Mr. Pig said, “but I paid for this pizza and it’s
all mine.” Mr. Dog sighed and waited for Mr. Pig to finish, and then they left the animal mall together. On the
way out, a hunter spotted them and gave chase. Mr. Pig normally could have escaped the hunter but since he was
weighed down by such a large meal, Mr. Pig collapsed and the hunter killed him. Mr. Dog easily escaped. Later
that night while returning to the scene, Mr. Dog caught the scent of something delicious and began digging
around a trash can. He found a large ham bone with lots of meat and marrow still stuck to the bone. Mr. Dog
happily ate.
