she$s )nished all her "o"corn# she goes to the kitchen to get
some more. *hile the "o"corn is in the microwae she looks u"
at the clock on the wall. The clocks big hand is "ointing to 1
and the small one is "ointing to 1+.She mutters to hersel( ,That
can$t be "ossible# - started the moie at 1+ o clock../ust a(ter

She immediately runs u"stairs to her sister 'arly. She asks her
