DONALD B. JOHNSON

Jane was very much disappointed when her father said No. It just didn't seem fair to her that he wanted to work when she wanted to play. And when she coaxed him to play with her, he asked her to leave the room.

Jane did not want to go. Instead of going willingly and happily, she stood by the door and banged it back and forth, hoping that the noise would make Father decide to play with her. But she did not watch what she was doing, and suddenly her finger was caught hard in back of the door.
