FORGETFUL FRIDAY Bruno had his head under Miles' desk. He was tying Miles' shoelaces together. "Are you looking for Ming's glasses, Bruno, or have you lost something?" asked Miss Fazio. Bruno jerked out from under the desk, bumping his head. " Lost something?" repeated Bruno. "Um, well, my mum says I lost mind ages ago." 2 I'm sure you won't find it under Miles' desk," said Miss Fazio.

THE LUNCHBOX Holly skipped up to Miles, who had his head between the steps and his bottom in the air. "Miles, what are you doing?" "I'm trying��_ to get... something... er, nothing," said Miles, grunting and huffing. Holly peered behind the steps and watched Miles digging around the "nothing". Miles had cleared the dirt away from the top of a small, metal box with a handle. His heart began to race.

"wee," said Pascal, looking up .

THE LIBRARY GAMES Bruno opened his mouth, just to get some air. Ms Mingo pointed to her favourite sign. It said QUIET! In angry red letters. Bruno breathed as quietly as he could. " I am putting you on my list of children who cannot borrow for one week," Ms Mingo declared. "Now, sit." Sitting was Ms Mingo's second big rule. She did not allow wandering in her library.

THE MISSING CLASS At last Heeni got to school, but the grounds were empty. " Oh no," sighed Heeni. "The bell has already gone. I'll be in trouble for being late."
