Отрывок из книги
“There’s a warm breeze tonight,” I said to my twin sister, Emily, while I was closing our bedroom window. “I’m so tired now that school’s finally out for the summer, I could fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow.”
“I’m going to bed, too,” Emily said, yawning. “And, Emma, whatever you do, don’t wake me up again with another one of your nightmares.”

The next morning, Miss O’Neal came up to me on the playground. “Miss Arlis wrote you back, and she wanted me to read her note to you. It says, ‘Dear Emma, I forgive you for saying unkind words about me. You are a precious girl, and I know you didn’t mean it. Your letter will always be special to me. Love, Miss Arlis.’ ”
After wiping tears from my cheeks, I entered the classroom to put the note on my desk. “Thank you, teacher, for forgiving me,” I whispered before hurrying outside to find my best friend, Della.
