  6. Marty’s big mistake http://www.familyfunshop.com/shortmoralstories.htm#martymouse

  7. Marty mouse was walking home from school one sunny day. A rock was on the sidewalk, which he kicked along the way. The rock would bounce and roll until it stopped a bit ahead, but one time when he kicked it, he forgot to use his head.

  8. He kicked the rock too hard, and sent it flying through the air. It flew toward a house and that gave Marty quite a scare. The rock broke through a window with a dreadful crashing sound. He knew he'd be in trouble if somebody was around.

  9. He felt bad for what happened, but he was too scared to stay. He didn't know what he should do, so he just ran away. He ran the whole way home and didn't stop 'till he got there.He thought that he should tell someone, and yet he didn't dare.

  10. Because he got away with it, he now was free and clear. Nobody knew he did it. He had no reason to fear. But something inside Marty's head told him it wasn't right. He started feeling bad. He couldn't sleep at all that night.

  11. So Marty sat awake in bed, and wondered what to do. He felt ashamed of what he did, and he was sorry too. At last he made his mind up, he would go and right the wrong. He knew it would be scary, but he knew he must be strong.

  18. Feet Idioms It was Sunday night and Allison was going to bed to "take the load off her feet" when she "stopped dead in her tracks." She remembered that her project was due the very next day. Since this project was a major part of her grade, she knew that it was going to have to "sweep her teacher off her feet." Allison's "feet flew" as she raced to her mom's room. She asked her mother to help her. Her mother replied that sooner or later she would have to learn to "stand on her own two feet." Allison knew that she had "gotten off on the wrong foot" starting so late and that she would have to "step on the gas" if she wanted to finish this paper. Then she knew that next time a paper was assigned she would have to "get her foot in the door" and "take steps" to prevent this from happening again.
