Fiona wrote the following narrative: John left home right on time. He trotted down the sidewalk, waving to Mrs. Norris in her garden. When John reached the intersection, he stopped and looked both ways before crossing. He walked the next block and got to the park at the same time as his best friend, Stevie. Together, they ran to the baseball fields, eager for practice to start. “Right on time, boys!” Coach said as they stepped into the dugout. “Let’s get started.”
