A Powerful Timetable (tidy, sandwich, timetable)

     Tom was a boy who was always late for school. One delightful sunny day, Tom was having breakfast: a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of orange juice. Just then his mother said;” Tom, hurry up. It’s time to go to school.” Tom answered:” Ok. I’ll be right there.”

Tom walked to the bus stop. When he arrived, the bus was just left. What a pity! He had to wait for the next turn. So, when he arrived at school, it was already 8:30—the class was beginning.

The teacher was so mad,” Tom, why are you late again?” Tom mumbled: “Em……I was terribly sorry and I will try my best to be not late tomorrow.” The teacher shouted, “But you said that yesterday and the day before yesterday.”

Tom felt worried about being late again. When he came back home, he nearly could not sleep. At that time, Mom told him a method, “Tom, I have an idea.” And she showed him a wonderful timetable. “Wow, it’s a really brilliant idea.” Tom said excitedly.

“OK, so according to the timetable it’s the time to tidy your messy table and messy room,” Mom smiled.

After that, with the help of the powerful timetable, Tom has never been late again.
