Mrs Lily Has To Go

It was a lady who came running into our classroom. She was wearing an old-time man’s hat and a trench coat.* There was a camera around her neck and a notepad in her hand. She was all out of breath.“Is Career Day over?” she asked. “Mrs. Lilly!” said Mr. Granite. I recognized Mrs. Lilly. She’s a reporter for our local paper, the News Tribune Bulletin Inquirer. She wrote an article about our school when a squirrel ate through the power lines and all the lights went out. They put my picture in the paper and everything. My mom put it up on the refrigerator. “Sorry I’m late,” Mrs. Lilly said. “I had to write a big story about a tree.” “Why did you write about a tree?” asked Andrea. “Yeah, why did you write about a tree?” asked Emily, who always does whatever Andrea does. “It fell down,” said Mrs. Lilly. “So what?” asked Ryan. “Don’t trees fall down all the time?” “Well, this tree landed on a house.” “Was anybody hurt?” asked Emily, all worried. “No.” “Then why was it a big story?” asked Mr. Granite. “The tree fell on Mayor Hubble’s house,” Mrs. Lilly told us. “Oh, and that’s a big story?” asked Alexia. “Well, it landed on the mayor’s bathroom,” Mrs. Lilly said, “and the mayor was in the bathroom at the time. You see, a tree falling down is boring. And a tree falling down on the mayor’s house is still pretty boring. But a tree falling down on the mayor’s bathroom while he’s on the toilet is a great human interest story. That’s what I look for: human interest stories.” “What happened to Mayor Hubble?” asked Emily, all concerned. “He had to go,” said Mrs. Lilly. Ofc he had to go"I said . that's why he was in the bathroom." No said Mrs Lilly ."I mean after he went he had to go.
