 Mandy loved animals.  She had 2 cats,
  a dog, a parakeet, and a goldfish.  She'd been
  bringing home stray or wounded animals
  since she was 4 years old.  She would nurse an
  animal back to health and then find it a good
  home.  Today she was walking home and saw
  a puppy with a hurt paw.

Ben always had trouble getting up in
  the morning.  His mother usually had to call
  him at least twice.  He'd already been late for
  school three times this month.  Mom had
  already called him once and now headed up to
  his room and knocked on the door.  When he
  didn't respond she walked in and found him
  fast asleep!
