When Mrs Goodall Lost It
After the hard day Mrs Goodall had, she decided to treat herself to a meal at Mcdonalds, because she was so proud of herself that day. Mrs Goodall was an English teacher at Gulf Harbour School and she had successfully taught how to use apostrophes to two children that day.
“Wow, I am starving! I can’t wait to bite into a delicious, yummy, juicy burger!” She entered the Mcdonald's building, walked to the counter and ordered a cheese burger meal. When Mrs Goodall turned around, she saw the biggest mistake on a sign. It said:
Our burger’s are the best! Try them today!
Mrds Goodall couldn’t believe her eyes. She walked over to the counter again and told the lady that there was a huge mistake on their sign.
“You have to fix this mistake right now! This is unacceptable! Do you know how many children come in here?”
But the lady said, ‘’Sorry, I’m not in charge and I can’t just change it, because you want me to change it.’’
At this very moment Mrs Goodall went as red as a very bright tomato and started to shout at the lady. She screamed,
‘’I work all day, trying to teach kids that apostrophes can only be used in two cases, which are OWNERSHIP or TO MAKE A WORD SHORTER and I am not going to stand here and get told that you are going to do nothing about the sign!’’
The lady looked very frightened and said in a trembling voice,
‘’If you do not get out of this building, I am going to call the cops!’’ But Mrs Goodall answered,
‘’I'm not scared of the cops. I’m a teacher. I am going to tell them, why I am mad. This is a matter of importance for the educational well being of the public!’’
Twenty minutes later the cops arrived and the lady told them everything that had happened. Unfortunately the cops put handcuffs on Mrs Goodall and when they were dragging her out of the building, she shouted to everyone ‘’THIS IS NOT THE LAST YOU HAVE HEARD OF ME!’’
One day later Erin and Jonathan, two of Mrs Goodall’s best students, came to get her out of jail and gave her a gift. When she opened it there was a letter from Mcdonalds saying,
Dear Mrs Goodall,
We are very sorry to have caused you so much distress. Please, come and have some free burger’s on the house as soon as you can!
Yours sincerely,
the friendly team from Mcdonalds
When Mrs Goodall read the letter, her smile disappeared and she screamed at the top of her lungs, “NOooooooo!’’
THE END
