Sarah Williams went to
a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the
school:
Wentworth Girls’ school
Beachside
July 20th
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I’ m afraid I have some
very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is
very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me
away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started
last night when I was smoking in bed. This breaks the rules, of course. We are
not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I
heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me
smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately, the
cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain
near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was
burning.
The principal phoned
for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time
the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls
are in the hospital.
The principal says that
the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a
bill for about a million dollars.
I’m very sorry about
this.
Much love,
Sarah
