Rabbit Act

"Make sure to put your costumes in your cubbie" Ms. Anne said. A chorus of "yes" answered her. Jackie thought, I I take my costume home, Mom can see my rabbit costume! Jackie walked to her cubbie and put the rabbit costume in to her bookbag.

"Look, Mom!" Jackie hopped over to mom on a pogo stick. "Mom. I'm a rabbit!" Jackie had put her rabbit costume on. Mom clapped. The next day Jackie hurriedly, accidentily left her costume on her bed. When she got to school, she started to unpack. Jackie looked all over her book bag for her costume. When Ms. Anne asked if everybody had their costumes, Jackie lied and said, "Yup."

"O.K., class let's go out to the stage, and do our thing. Jackie swallowed hard. "Here's your costume!" Jackie looked up to see Mom holding her costume. "Jackie, you lied to me." Ms. Anne said, disappointment in her voice. "Sorry." They walked out on to stage. Jackie played her part perfectly.
