"Thanks, Larry. Off to school now!" said Mary. Larry had just helped her write her report for history class. They went on the bus to school as usual, except with Larry thinking he'd look so having helped his big sister.

At school, Mary handed in her report to Mrs Stevens. "Very good. Did you write it yourself?" Mary lied, saying "Yes, Mrs Stevens." Larry's eyes widened and his face had an look, a look of pure anger. Mary smirked at him as the teacher her to sit back down.

At home, Larry thought of revenge. What could he do avenge himself? After pondering, he remembered that Mary had a beloved collection of glass animals she had since childhood, and decided to a couple. Smash! Smash! Three of them shattered on the floor!

"Wait till she comes in!" snickered Larry. He heard footsteps and hid behind the dresser. It turns out it wasn't Mary, but their mother. "Larry! Come to dinner!" Then she looked at the floor and in surprise, "Larry! Mary! Why is there broken glass in your bedroom?" With a guilty look, Larry stepped out from behind the dresser and admitted he did it, although he insisted it was an , not done on purpose. Just then, Mary walked in and nearly had a fit when she saw the glass pieces. Their mother believed Larry and merely said to clean it up, before she left the room. Mary said between clenched teeth, "I'm sure you did that on purpose!"

"Why shouldn't I have done it? You didn't give me credit for you of the burden of your essay."

"I can pay you for it right here. I acknowledge you helped, but I just didn't want to look silly in front of my friends. Would some of my famous food cake make you feel better?"

"No. I'm very for breaking your glass animals and don't deserve cake," said Larry.

Mary and Larry looked at each other and said at the same time "Let's make up!"

The story ends with cake, fun, and peace.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

MAGNIFICENT (adj.) - Magnificent means great or impressive. Its etymology comes from the Latin word "magnus", meaning great.

PERMITTED - When you are permitted to do something, it means you have been told you can do something. The word's etymology is from the Latin word "permittere" which means let, allow, grant, or permit.

OUTRAGED (adj.) - To be outraged refers to being indignant or angry. The etymology comes from the Old French word "outrageus" meaning immoderate, or lawless.

YIM (v.) - Yim means to break, and it comes from the Scottish word "ymmer" which means "to break into small fragments".

UTTERED (v.) - Uttered means to have made a sound with your voice. Utter descends from the Middle Low German word "utern" meaning to speak.

ACCIDENT (n.) - An accident is an incident that happened not on purpose but by chance. The word's etymology comes from the Old French "accident" which means what comes by chance.

RELIEVING (v.) - To relieve means to take a burden off someone's shoulders. The etymology is from the Latin "relevare" meaning to raise, free from a burden or alleviate.

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE (n.) - Devil's Food cake is a rich chocolate cake, counterpart to the light vanilla cake called Angel's Food cake. Devil's Food cake gets its name because of its dark colour.

REMORSEFUL (adj.) - To feel remorseful means to feel sorry for having done or said something. The etymology is from the Latin prefix "re" (again), and "mordere" (to bite). Put together, it basically means that your conscience is biting you, making you feel bad, about an earlier fault.

UNANIMOUSLY (adj.) - To be unanimous means that everyone involved agrees on one thing. The etymology comes from the Latin word "unanimus" meaning of one mind.
