Today is Monday.
Amelia Bedelia was fired, although the host and the waitress of the restaurant both were very kind to her. She walked home deep in sad and thought how to answer her parents. She got an idea when she passed by a garden. She wanted to pick up some flowers and gave them as a gift to her mother. After she had done, a policeman asked her to stop. He said, "You have cleaned out the entire flower bed." She answered she hadn't done and the flower bed was still dirty. He told her she couldn't do that because the flowers were for everyone who lived there to enjoy. She answered she and her mother lived there. He told her she couldn't even stand on the grass. She answered that the policeman stood there too. He was a little bit angry and asked her whether she wanted to talk back to him, which means answering him back in a rude way. She didn't answer him quickly. She thought for a while and said, "You talked to me first, then I talk back to you, then you talk back to me, and then I talk back to you, and..." The policeman didn't know what to say and let her go.
Hah, I am so sorry for the policeman.
