Kate Pitt invited Miss Mary to her house to work on their Physics project, but Kate
Pitt had no idea what a visit from Miss Mary entailed. First of all, it was raining and
Miss Mary neither bothered to take her boots off nor wipe them thoroughly. Then
Miss Mary ate a bag of hot chips on Kate Pitt's pink bedspread without asking, and
Miss Mary is a messy eater, so hot chip powder got all over the bedspread. Kate Pitt
tried to be polite and ignore her behavior, but then Miss Mary threw her wrapper
on the floor. Offended, Kate pretended that she was sick and asked Miss Mary to
leave. The next day, Kate Pitt asked the teacher if she could work by herself. After
explaining her situation, the teacher allowed Kate to work alone. Miss Mary would
have finished the assignment by herself, but she spilled lime soda all over her
project.
