As time passed, all the parents walked into the school and took their children from their respective teachers.

Only Floretta, standing on her tiptoes, remained in her spot and merely stared at the gate.

Seeing her like that made her teacher feel bad. She walked over and comforted, “Floretta, are you sure you have informed your parents today is the day?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” Floretta responded in a clear voice.

“It’s all right. Maybe they are trapped in a traffic jam, or something has held them up. We’ll wait for them a little longer together.”
