============
Jenna and Becky raced down to the breakfast table. Jenna was the first one there. She was reading the cereal box when Jenna saw in bright letters " NEW, GET YOUR NAME PLATED IN 14KT. GOLD only $5. Please limit 1 per family."
Then Becky said, "It's mine sis. You got the last toy." Then she ran up to her bedroom and got $5. When she came downstairs, the cereal box was gone.
She saw Jenna run to the mailman and hand him something. It was the order form and $5. Becky ran up to her room and started to cry. She was so angry at her sister. For the next week, Becky did everything possible to ignore, and not include Jenna.
Jenna had made Becky an ice cream sundae. Becky had taken it and threw it in her face. Then later that week a box arrived and Jenna received it. Jenna was sleeping over her friends house that night. Becky came near the door as she was leaving and Jenna gave the box to her. Becky said with anger, "Come to show it off. Well just don't come home after your sleep over and I'll be happy."
Jenna started to cry. Later that night, Becky opened the box expecting "JENNA" to be on the gold, but instead it was "BECKY".
Tears had formed to Becky's eyes. Then the phone rang. She hoped it was Jenna, but instead it was a police officer.
The police officer had told her that her sister had got hurt really badly in a car accident. She had told her that she didn't know the condition she was in, but Jenna was at Jefferson Memorial Hospital. Then Becky had to tell her mom. Her mom drove over to Jefferson with Becky.
When they reached room 202 of the intensive care unit, she saw her sister. Becky could tell by the look on Jenna's face she was hurt really badly. Jenna was crying and holding her heart.
When Becky came to Jenna, Jenna told her she had gotten her wish. She wouldn't be coming home that night.
The moral of this story is to never let the sun set on your anger because you never know what might happen to that person you're mad at.
