“You are about to make the biggest mistake of your life,” said Angelina.

Angelina.

“Rocky, I am going to grant your wish. You may go ahead and leave school.
You will be free to do anything you want, but you will have to leave everything

“YES!” cheered Rocky with a big smile. “YAHOO! No more school!”
“What are you going to do first?” smiled Angelina.
“I heard there was a job open at the music store,” said Rocky. “I love

“Hello young man. My name is Mr. Bassoon. How can I help you?” said the
man in the music store with a smile.
“It’s nice to meet you. I heard there was a job opening,” said Rocky.
“Yes, there is. Would you like to fill out an application?” asked Mr. Bassoon.
“May I have a pencil?” asked Rocky.
Mr. Bassoon laughed, “We don’t use pencils or paper. You will have to use
the computer.”
“Piece of cake!” laughed Rocky. “I learned that in the 3rd grade.”

“Aren’t you finished yet?” asked Mr. Bassoon. “If you can’t work any
faster than that, then I probably can’t use you.”
