with his things hanging out of his broken backpack. Then he tossed the backpack into his locker, instead of
hanging it up, so his backpack had to spend half the day in the locker standing on its head. “No one
appreciates how hard I work,” the backpack thought to itself. When Ken opened his locker before lunch, the
backpack slipped one of its straps under the door so that it wouldn’t quite close. Then, when the bell rang, and
the hall grew quiet, the backpack pushed open the locker door and crept out. It tiptoed all the way down the
hall and was about to walk out the front door when a hand swooped down and lifted it into the air.
