Last weekend my friend Caren slept over. We stayed up very late
playing with our dolls. My mom came into the room to tell us we had to
go to sleep. It was dark, so, Caren and I took my dad’s flashlight and
played under the covers. I’m not sure when we finally fell asleep, but we
left the flashlight on. In the morning, it no longer worked. The
batteries were dead. Yesterday, there was a big thunderstorm and we
lost our electricity. Dad went to get his flashlight so we could see, but it
didn’t work. He wasn’t very happy when he found out I had left it on all
night and wasted the batteries. Now I have to rake up all of the leaves
that blew around from the storm!
