it was the very first day of school for Billy. Breakfast was over and he was all ready to go. He had a new hat and new shoes, and he looked very nice. Take good care of Billy, Alice. Watch for the cars as you go across the street. Hurry Alice, said Billy. I want to get to school early. Billy and his sister started to school. Many other children were going to school too. Soon Billy saw the big red school across the street. Some children were playing in the school yard. Just then Alice saw Polly and stopped to talk with her. “Wait for me, Billy”, she said. But Billy did not want to wait for his sister. He wanted to hurry. Some of the boys in the school yard were playing ball. Billy wanted to play with them. He saw some cars coming. But he thought he could get across the street if he ran very fast. So he started to run.
