Fable
At the school carnival, Mia spotted a giant stuffed bear at the prize booth.
All she had to do was toss a ring onto a bottle to win it.
She tried — once, twice, three times — but missed every time.
Mia scowled and said loudly,
"That bear looks cheap anyway. I didn’t really want it."
But as she walked away, she couldn’t help glancing back over her shoulder.
