Jimmy couldn\u2019t wait! His teacher, Ms. Pearl, had told them that there were many cool things, including a dinosaur exhibit and even a rock from the moon! When they got there, Jimmy jumped off the bus and ran to the dinosaur exhibit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In his rush, Jimmy didn\u2019t see the \u201cCaution: Wet Floor\u201d sign and slipped on it. His arms went flying, knocking down a dinosaur fossil, which crashed into the replica of a T-Rex, which came spilling down on a very expensive necklace. Jimmy looked down at the mess he had created and stared at the diamond necklace in shock. Jimmy had to fix this, and fast, before he got caught. Jimmy decided that he should ask his friend John to help him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Jimmy found John glued to the rock from the moon. It did look pretty tempting but he didn\u2019t have time for that. Jimmy snapped John back into reality and quickly spilled out everything that happened. John agreed to help him only if he gave him a bag full of candy. Jimmy reluctantly agreed and they set off to the dinosaur exhibit together. When they got there, John looked at the mess shocked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cHow are we going to fix this?!\u201d He exclaimed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They decided that first, they should pick up the dinosaur fossil. They carefully lifted the fossil and returned it to its correct shelf adjusting it to look like nothing had ever happened. The boys heard footsteps clomping towards them and they quickly hid behind the shelf. They were the footsteps of an angry looking guard who sensed something was off. He checked everywhere before unsurely slipping off into the other room. Jimmy and John released their breaths of relief that they had been holding. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whew<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! They hadn\u2019t been caught!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then they tried to put together the replica of the T-Rex. Jimmy and John tried every possible way they could think of but they couldn\u2019t figure it out. John found a T-Rex manual book. They hastily rushed through the book but one of the pages fell out. Jimmy found a disgusting, used piece of gum which they used to stick the page back to its correct spot in the book. They finally found what they were looking for, the page with the parts of the T-Rex. They reassembled the broken pieces back into a messy replica of a T-Rex. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good enough. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the boys carefully lifted it up and placed it onto the place it was marked to go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Jimmy grabbed the necklace and placed it in the \u201cLOST AND FOUND\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They returned to the bus and found the students piling back into it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just in time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they thought. Ms. Pearl looked pretty mad, she hadn\u2019t figured out what had happened\u2026right?!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">When they finally got back home Jimmy\u2019s mom looked pretty mad too. Uh-Oh, maybe their teacher had figured out what they had done, and told their moms!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cJimmy, I did not expect this of you.\u201d His mom said disappointingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry Mom, it was an accident, and I fixed it in time, \u201d Jimmy replies, guiltiness filling inside him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">His mom stared at Jimmy confusedly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d She asks him with a stern expression. \u201cI\u2019m disappointed in you for getting a C on your project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cOhhhh, yeah\u201d maybe his mom hadn\u2019t figured out what had happened after all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhat were you talking about- Oh-no you didn\u2019t do something, did you?\u201d His mom asks worriedly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cN-N-No, not at all. I was just saying that\u2026..ummm\u2026.I could\u2026try to\u2026bring my grade up again\u201d He stammers relieved that his mom didn\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u201cTry your best!\u201d His mom says hugging him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">That\u2019s what he liked about his mom, she forgave him SO easily, one second she\u2019s yelling at him, the other, she&#8217;s hugging him and complimenting him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Oh and, Jimmy never told John, but he never gave him the bag of candy he promised!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy and his class were going to the Natural History Museum for their field trip.
